Reaction 2

On Feb.09.10 America culture class did discussion that was related the movie "witness" and chapter 12 about culture shock according to different culture. There are Amish people story in the movie. I have prepared and discussed with my partner and classmate. After watching the movie, I am wondering about Amish people and John book's experience of culture shock. According to the movie, when Amish people and John book drive in a carriage to somewhere, they and non-Amish cross each other on the way. So some non-Amish people come closer to Amish. Then non-Amish people speak derisive word about Amish people's character and funny cloth. They insult to Amish constantly. For example, they said that "you are fool!""You cannot fight?!”
In this scene, I felt unfair and different culture, because Amish people just bear an affront and endure themselves. Moreover, even if Amish people keep still, John book fight with them. So non-Amish people run away. Maybe, it occurs because of different character. Sometimes Amish people suffer from other non-Amish people. As a result, I am wondering about existence that Amish people's pain.
