A Variety of Conflicts within Families

Julie was an Amish girl who hated the way she lived. Julie wanted to be different then everyone else and wanted to have her own style. She loathed the traditional clothing she had to wear. The ankle long skirts were dreadfully ugly and she even had to wear them during the summertime when the temperature was at its hottest. Julie had gotten into many arguments with her family because she did not want to be Amish anymore. She wanted to be her own person and explore the world outside of her little community, where teenagers her age where allowed to have cellphones, dress as they wanted, and listen to any type of music without getting in trouble. One day Julie made the drastic decision to leave her family and friends behind in that little Amish community. Julie never looked back instead, she lives on her own in a big city in New York.

Things like music will always continue to develop and change as time goes on and what we view as good music now will be considered old and outdated in the future. Our clothing preferences today will be out of style when a new generation of stylist comes along. Finally religion will continue to be in someone’s culture, but they will always have a choice on who they want to be. No one can tell someone how to be. If everyone in the world was the same then Earth would be a boring place to live.
