Post1: Proposal memes about the Amish Community

For my research proposal, I will
explore the Amish community. I will look at two things 1.) What are the women’s
roles in this religion and what are they allowed to do within their society?
2.) How does this society view media/use media?
The
selection for this case study was sparked from when we looked at some different
religions and their use of media in the first part of the class. The Amish community was an example and it
caught my interest on their view of media. We had explored how there are some
forms of media within the group that are used but the whole community has to agree on its
use. Furthermore, I want to understand and see what the women’s roles are
within this society. Under general assumption, it seems that the men of the society
are in charge and leading the group. So, what does that mean for women? Are
there any leadership roles or are they supposed to follow all of the men’s
orders? There will be more exploration in the research.
Interesting topic. Remember to clarify the focus of your case study focus in your second blog post. Also post actual memes you are studying and not just hyperlinks.
