The Amish people have found encountered a struggle in this their culture that has led to people dropping out of the community to search for answers. The Amish come across rare genetic disorders that are nameless (foreign to doctors) and one known as mental retardation. These and others alike have been prevalent due to the evolutionary theory. The evolutionary theory helps us understand that genetic disease can become the norm in secluded populations through the founder effect and can help prevent future causes of genetic disease.
Plain individuals (Amish people) of North America have adjusted dangers that come from European origins. Originators took after by a genetic drift in subsidiary ages. These populace impacts have brought about a high pervasiveness of a traditionally hereditary issue that differs from the all-inclusive community and from each other. These groups call for

Our mitochondrial research and other clinical experiences lead us to the speculation that numerous unrecognized hereditary issues are seen in the Amish Mercer District. This is with regards to research directed by the “Clinic for Special Children in Strasburg, Pa.,” established and drove by Holmes Morton. The center is a complete nurture of Amish individuals in and around the Lancaster Region. Morton has widely described this populace hereditarily, including variation investigation through entire genome and exome sequencing. Of course, the Old Order Amish show huge populace difference from the general European populace. All the more shockingly, hereditary variations in the Old Order Amish secluded in Lancaster likewise vary from those in “Big Valley, Pa.,” and those in “Cuyahoga County,
Genetic Family History Assessment All nurses, no matter where they practice, need to have proper training in genomics and genetics to provide the best information to clients regarding recognition, prevention, and/or treatment of diseases (Thompson & Brooks, 2011). Genetic family history can help clients discover the unique patterns of health and illness within their family. In this paper, I will complete a Genetic/Genomic Nursing Assessment using the information found in Kaakinen, Coehlo, Steele, Tabacco, & Hanson’s text (2015) in Box 7-7 (p. 198). I will identify three generations of a family, analyze the genetic health risks, and consider nursing strategies for this family. The woman featured in my genetic assessment will be referred to as LG.
The Muckleshoot are a Native American tribe are a part of the Coast Salish people. their territory can be found located in Washington. They are recognized as the Muckleshoot Tribe, they are composed of generations of different tribal groups who inherited Puget Sound areas and occupied river drainages from the rivers confluence in Auburn to their reservations in the Cascades.
The Amish Religion and Catholicism are actually quite similar. They both use the bible; both celebrate Holidays relating to Jesus like Christmas, Easter, Good Friday, Pentecost, and the day of Ascension. The Amish have districts, which are similar to different diocese for Catholics; they celebrate communion but only twice a year, and perform baptisms also. A difference is their beliefs on war. Amish believe in peace and pacifism, while Christians will go to war, and believe in the Just War doctrine. Christians also join the world with advances in technology, while the Amish want to stay away from outer influences. Overall there are many similarities that most people would not know about the ideas of the Amish religion compared to Catholicism.
The family provides a dense web of social support from cradle to grave. […] Family members help each other during an emergency, a fire or flood, and, of course, at a death”. The Amish community would not have withstood the drastically shifting eras had it not been for their foundation built on solid family and community relationships. Within Amish homes, bonds between siblings, parents and their children, as well as potentially extended families ties including aging grandparents or other relatives, are of utmost importance. Importantly, these interrelationships are not left within the household as the Amish community holds an interconnectedness inclusive to the community that creates an additional support network. This patchwork community of benevolence is not a gift, but a reward. There are expectations and consequences, as the BBC reports “[…] Members are expected to believe the same things and follow the same code of behaviour (called the Ordnung). The purpose of the ordnung is to help the community lead a godly life. […] If a person breaks the rules they may be 'shunned', which means that no-one (including their family) will eat with them or talk to them”. Expectations must be met for an Amish individual to earn and maintain their spot within the community. Despite guidelines wavering depending on each community and their location, the Amish are expected to follow God and seek salvation in a preset and dictated manner. Punishments for breaking the ordnung are strictly enforced and the insubordinate individual is completely excommunicated as a result of their disobedience. Since family connectedness is universally valued amongst Amish communities, if an individual is shunned, they will lose not only their community status but communications will be severed between immediate family members. When applied to education, if prohibited by that particular Ordnung, pursing a higher
In the Amish world, children are brought up following all Amish family traditions and church traditions. At age 16, Amish teenagers do away with these traditions for several months to several years and go out into the “English”, modern world to experience what life is like outside of the Amish community in a tradition called Rumspringa. The hopes of Rumspringa are that Amish teenagers will see the evil in the modern world and turn back to the Amish church and community and will choose to be baptized into the faith. At this time, the parents of these Amish teenagers choose to overlook the new habits and actions of their children. The Amish parents want the best for their children and feel as though allowing them to party and live wild for a time away from them is the best way to teach their children. The parents have the approach to be hands off and ignore the behavior during Rumspringa. This is not an effective manner of parenting for these teenagers at such an influential time in their lives.
In the Great Planes of America there was a tribe of Indians known as the Arapaho Indians. There is little documentation as to when or where they came from but it is known they were in many different places in the Midwest including Oklahoma, Wyoming, Kansas and Colorado. The Arapaho Indians were nomadic people who survived on hunting buffalo and gathering. This tribe was greatly changed when they were introduced to horses. The horses provided them a new way to hunt battle and travel. The horse became the symbol and center of Arapaho nomadic life: people traded for them, raided for them, defined wealth in terms of them and made life easier.
In the late nineteenth century the Ahtna tribe was attributed in total to be the largest tribe consisting of two thousand members (Hunt: 13). There were various clans throughout the region and during summer months when fish were plentiful regional clans would ban together. In the fall, again they might unit to go on caribou hunts, when the cooperation of all members was necessary to repair and man the caribou fence. Though in the winter months when the supporting wildlife could not support such vast numbers the Ahtna clan dismantled into several branches.

Compare your own experiences to those of an individual from an overseas cultural group (The Amish) in relation to gender and roles and status.
All students should take notice and interest in cultural diversity. There are numerous different cultures in America. One in particular is the Amish culture, which I would like to familiarize you with.
Native Americans were known to be indigenous people because they were always settling in particular regions, so they were known as natives to the lands of America. Later on, Native Americans were known as American Indians. The Native Americans got their name from the first explorer of America, named Christopher Columbus. Christopher Columbus thought that he reached the Indies when he first came to America and so he decided to call the group native residents or “people of India” (Schaefer). Some of the Indian groups are The Cherokees, Navajos, Latin American Indians, Choctaw, Sioux, Chippewa, Apache, Blackfeet, Iroquois and Pueblo (Schaefer). There are many cultures that are related to Native Americans, but today I will discuss only one which is the Cherokee
The Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints is a radical sect that branched off from the Mormon church after the church renounced polygamy (ABC News). Roughly 10,000 people are part of the FLDS base located on the Arizona-Utah border (ABC News) The members of FLDS view Warren Jeffs their "prophet" and God even though he is currently serving a life sentence in prison for the sexual assault of two girls, one of whom was a 12-year-old he considered his wife (Farberov, Snejana). FLDS members constantly pray for Jeffs to break out of prison; they stop whatever they are doing every hour of every day to pray for his escape (ABC News). Jeffs believes that he has not escaped yet because the members do not have enough faith (ABC News). Jeffs decides
People have been living in America for countless years, even before Europeans had discovered and populated it. These people, named Native Americans or American Indians, have a unique and singular culture and lifestyle unlike any other. Native Americans were divided into several groups or tribes. Each one tribe developed an own language, housing, clothing, and other cultural aspects. As we take a look into their society’s customs we can learn additional information about the lives of these indigenous people of the United States.
The Amish community are said to astray away from the word “mental illness” as they see it as stigmatism, therefore depend on church leaders as a form of therapy, but they are also aware that mental illness cannot be treated with prayers alone. According to Nathalie (2006), a survey reports “The majority of women (74%) stated that they would be criticized if the counseling they received was not Christian-oriented, and a majority of the religious leaders (76%) surveyed believed that members of their church should begin mental health treatment by contacting and discussing their problems with the minister or bishop”, this proves the strong beliefs they maintain as a culture and not let non-Amish traditional medicine affiliate with the views, even though progress has been witnessed, which is why “84% women and nearly all men confess they would encourage their families and friends to receive mental health treatment regardless of cost”. Medical researchers encourage families to be more willing to support and be aware of psychiatric medication that can be provided to relief and treat patients with their symptoms linked with mental health (facts and figure.)
