Why don't the Amish live in the South?
Old Order Amish define themselves as horse and buggy people. As a result they need pasture and land sufficent for keeping a horse. Some communities do not allow members to reside in town, viewing town life as inconsistant with Amish values. Some communities do allow memebers to live in town. In my town of Shipshewana, Indiana there are many Amish individuals residing in town. Many are unmarried girls who work in the local tourism industry and do not keep a horse, but rather ride a bicycle.

explain why the Amish are considered by sociologists as a subculture and not as a counterculture.
The Amish movement was founded in Europe by Jacob Amman (~1644 to ~1720), from whom their name is derived. In many ways, it started as a reform group within the Mennonite movement -- an attempt to restore some of the early practices of the Mennonites.
The beliefs and practices of the Amish were based on the writings of the founder of the Mennonite faith, Menno Simons (1496-1561), and on the 1632 Mennonite Dordrecht Confession of Faith. The Amish who split from Mennonites generally lived in Switzerland and in the southern Rhine river region. During the late 17th century, they separated because of what they perceived as a lack of discipline among the Mennonites.
The faith group has attempted to preserve the elements of late 17th century European rural culture. They try to avoid many of the features of modern society, by developing practices and behaviors which isolate themselves from American culture.
What are three differences between Mennonites and Amish?
There is no difference between the clothing of the Amish and the Mennonite.
There are dozens of plain sects that refer to themselves Amish or Mennonite and still others that call themselves Peachy, Beachy, Apostolic, and other labels, but the clothes worn really depend on the particular congregation one is talking about, as it depends on tradition more than the ordnung, and the ordnung is a living set of rules, rather than a static one.
The textbook answer is that the difference between the Amish and the Mennonite is that the Amish practice shunning and the Mennonite do not. Shunning is the practice of refusing to recognize a member of the church who has varied from the practices of the church in a significant way, has been assisted in conforming, and has continued to live a nonconforming life. That means that having been shunned, one cannot talk with wife, children, brothers and sisters, patents, or the many church members that provide the specialized goods and services needed in ordinary life - quite a burden.
However, the congregations have drifted back and forth, and there are liberal Amish, and conservative Mennonite groups, so there really no useful distinctions between them. I met an Amish woman who came back to Indiana to visit her mother, hospitalized for a heart attack. She was wearing plain white tennis shoes, which were not worn by any of the local Amish congregations, but she had moved to upstate New York, which allowed them.
When did the Amish come to America?

Why do Amish not want their children to attend public schools?
Actually, they don't. What they object to us schooling beyond the 8th grade. Amish kids, because they are hard workers and disciplined, generally are some of the best students in the school.
However, once you start high school, the curriculum teaches all sorts of things that of little use to a horse-farmer. They believe the schools romance English way of life, and expose Amish kids to members of the opposite sex that are non-Amish at a time in their lives when hormones are starting to flow.
No! If an Amish couple would get a television they would definitely be shunned. Amish youth that have not joined the church would be allowed to get one though.
The Amish believe that shunning is biblical and base the practice on various scriptures. Shunning is done when an Amish member disobeys church laws and doesn't change their ways.
