Salve Carus,
1) What gender are you? M
2) What is your age group? 46-55
3) What period do you portray? Roman
4) What role do you play? Auxillia footslogger
5) Why do you take part in living history activities? Which is the most important reason?
Research
6) Are potential ethical or moral issues something you would take into account when participating in an event? Yes
7) If yes, what issues would you consider? What is the most important?
Need for authenticity
8) Which would be of more importance to you in an event?
Education
9) At what point would you consider an event unethical or inappropriate?
Violence with no educational purpose
Inauthentic display
Having read your research question, I thought of the former director of HOME, who would not allow Roman Re-enactment into their late Iron age village during events on the grounds of these groups "glorifying the oppressors".
In WWII re-enactment, there are precious few SS-detachments or Wehrmacht or Volkssturm groups in evidence.
On authenticity, recently an interesting remark was made on RAT. There are a lot of centurio and optio around for the number of Miles present. Lot's of crests around as well. All chiefs, no indians :lol:
