Living history is an activity that incorporates historical tools, activities and dress into an interactive presentation that seeks to give observers and participants a sense of stepping back in time. Although it does not necessarily seek to reenact a specific event in history, living history is similar to, and sometimes incorporates, historical reenactment. Living history is an educational medium used by living history museums, historic sites, heritage interpreters, schools and historical reenactment groups to educate the public in particular areas of history, such as clothing styles, pastimes and handicrafts, or to simply convey a sense of the everyday life of a certain period in history.

Q. What is the history of living standards in Australia, especially comparing the current situation to Australia in the 70s?
Asked by : ) - Tue Mar 10 22:09:49 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The standard of living was much better in the 70s in all developed countries. Australia is geographically handicapped. It's nearest trading partner is Antarctica and the usable land is a ring around a huge desert. Everything is too far from everything else.

A. The "urge to live" itself acted as a motivation to serve the cause & as they knew they have to live,they are witty enough to work it out that pleasure is an indispensible tool for healthy life.
