What impact does a pluralistic society have on business?

The impact that a pluralistic society would have on businesses is good in the sense that there are different cultures living in one area. For example, in Pennsylvania, there are many small Amish towns, as well as normal cities surrounding them, the impact of the Amish people and the English people as they call it, is great since the Amish can sell their items to the businesses of the English people, giving the English businesses much profit and the Amish get the business from the English. Without such a society, English and Amish businesses would decline in finances, since the English need to pay little for Amish items and the Amish make out nice financially.

What is an Amish quilt square?

Amish quilting is a specific style of pieced quilting, in which the design of the quilt depends on the arrangement of repeated geometric shapes. The fabrics used in traditional Amish quilts may be any color except pure white, and only solid-color fabrics may be used; Amish style quilts do not include patterned fabrics. The "Amish quilt square," might refer to a design that consists of a single square-within-a-square, with or without additional borders, or it might refer to any Amish quilt made up of multiple quilt squares. See the link below for photos and further information.


Is James Wolpert Amish?

No, James isn't Amish. To anyone familiar with the Amish the fact that James is on a television show says instantly that he couldn't possibly be Amish. If more proof were needed his clothing is "English" (non-Amish) and he's in high school. Amish only educate their children up to the 8th grade. Finally, you will not find any Amish teenager singing "My Sharonna" anytime, anywhere. Scroll down for the weblink to the Wikipedia article about the Amish in case you'd like to learn more.
