    This document discusses Rumspringa, a period in Amish life where adolescents are allowed freedom before joining the church. During Rumspringa from around age 16, Amish youth are no longer fully controlled by parents and not under church authority on weekends. While parents don't encourage sinful behavior, they don't prevent all behaviors either. This period allows for free choice in deciding to become Amish. It's important to understand how individuals weigh social conventions, personal jurisdiction, and others' welfare in making moral decisions.

    In this written assignment requirement, I feel the challenging behaviors

    undertaken by adolescents during Rumspringa which is a period in an Amish person's life

    when they are allowed to go out and experience the world before taking their vows,

    getting married and joining the church. It means during the period known as Rumspringa,

    beginning at about age 16, Amish youth are no longer under the total control of their

    parents on weekends and, because they are not baptized, they are not yet under the

    authority of the church. During this period, they are free to choose and hold their

    responsible for the consequences of their decision.

    However, Amish parents do not encourage their youth to leave home and

    experiment with sinful behaviors nor do they condone it. At the same time, there must be

    at least a semblance of free choice in the decision to become Amish. Amish parents may

    disapprove of their teens’ behaviors, but do not necessarily exercise authority to prevent

    some of those behaviors. Disagreements over beliefs, practices, and church doctrines

    slowly fractured the community into different affiliations (Hurst & McConnell, 2010).

    Educational implications for moral decisions by their families and communities,

    for social conventions are uniformities within social systems, serving to provide uniform

    expectations. Individuals do reason about social relationships in different ways,

    accounting for societal customs and conventions as well as arenas of personal jurisdiction

    and choice. A significant aspect of orientations to social relationships is reasoning about

    the welfare and rights of people, as well as concerns with justice. Therefore, it is

    important to understand how individuals weigh and balance different considerations in

    coming to decisions in social contexts (Turiel & Banas, 2020).
