the grand event:
social history of communities and grand events of the era, when rivalries were put aside and they came in their thousands to celebrate their progress and wonderful developments and increase in wealth and living standards....
have you heard? something is going to happen, there is an event....
though previously real divisions in society, beyond race, class, nationality, age, gender, politics and religion, were ignored and the idea of society coming together happened. extended families, business connections, friends and even strangers passed on the word. such events became much glamorized.
what did these people have in common? was it industry, commerce or language? or an unspoken agreement to converge to form one whole society without the constraints that had once applied?
later media obsession highlights these events, and they live on in memory.
