Answer 2

The Amish in the United States are an example of a/an subculture.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to understand what is a subculture. In Social Studies, this term is used to describe a behavior that runs against the ordinary way of a social group or the society itself usually does. However, the subculture cannot be confused with the counterculture that tries to promote a social revolution. The subculture members just want to live in their way. In the case of Amish, they are a group of people who follows the Christian doctrines (the Protestantism, to be more specific), but they want to live isolated from society, without technology or technical advances. However, they don't oblige anyone to live on their way of life, that's why they are a subculture.
