human life in history theme
We see a reasonable idea of what ordinary human life might have been like for some category of people somewhere in the world in the past.
Notes
If there is conflict between the nature of civilization in a story and the time/location the story itself professes to take place, the nature of civilization in the story should be used to determine which history theme is relevant. The precise dating of these time periods is therefore of lesser importance to the categorization of stories. If the story is still ambiguous, do not expend energy debating the point but include all seemingly applicable themes. It is suggested to use these themes as Major only when the story clearly depicts something that can be considered a reasonable image of normal life for some relatively normal category of people. If the focus of the story is, for example, a heroic figure doing something heroic then the social setting in which it takes place may likely be a Minor theme, if a theme at all.
