I believe those are known as buggies because they reminded someone of a black-shelled beetle. Actually the Amish don't call them buggies it is their English thinking counterparts that call them buggies in reminiscent of the doctor's buggy of yesteryear. The Amish call their covered horse drawn vehicles carriages. Their smaller uncovered ones are simply known as wagons. The terminology may change within communities.

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 are Amish people called other then Amish?

Amish people are fundamentalist Mennonites, or Anabaptists. In Lancaster County, Pa, there are many people of German or Dutch descent, called Pennsylvania Dutch. However, being Pennsylvania Dutch does NOT automatically make you Amish. The Amish may be of similar descent, but these terms are NOT mutually inclusive. The Amish are a religious group that make certain lifestyle choices, not a nationality. As a result of the Holy Roman Empire, which engulfed Europe from the North Sea to the Mediterranean, Holland and Lorraine to Poland and Moravia, a large portion of "Germans," may actually be classified now with a more specific regional moniker. The Amish, founded by Jacob Amman in the latter 1600s, began emigration in the early 1800s as a result of religious persecution. Many "Dutch" emigrants came to America in the early 1800s, when the Holy Roman Empire still held a large amount of territory. It is accurate to call all of these people descendants of Germany, or Deutsch/ Dutch, since at the time, the place their ancestors lived was Germany, or Deutschland, but certainly not precise by modern geographical standards. Only a small percentage of these people are Amish, others may be Jews, Catholics, Quakers, Calvanists, etc.
