Educational
Simulations presents Real Lives 2007,
the life simulation that gives you the opportunity to learn how people
really live in other countries.
Real Lives 2007
is a truly unique, content rich and empathy-building real world, real
life simulation that challenges your life skills (not your hand-eye
coordination) as you make difficult, high-stakes choices that lead
to your success, or failure.
You might be born anyone,
anywhere on Earth. You might die as an infant, you might make
it to old age. You might be able to marry the person of your
dreams, and have a rewarding job, or you could be stuck in poverty.
Be born, live an exciting life, and die. Then do it again. And
again. Learn about the world as you live your Real Lives around
the world, one life-altering decision at a time.
Both a fantastic opportunity and an incredible challenge, Real
Lives 2007
makes the world come alive on a personal and global level, one life
at a time, right on your desktop!
Exciting new features for Real Lives 2007
include the ability to emigrate from one country to another (and
experience the difficulties and dangers faced when emigrating),
more realistic job and financial features, updated data, and hundreds
of other more subtle changes.

Through statistically
accurate events, Real Lives brings to life different cultures, political
systems, economic opportunities, personal decisions, health issues,
family issues, schooling, jobs, religions, geography, war, peace,
and more. As your students make decisions for their characters and
experience the consequences of those decisions they will learn about
the world and gain an increased appreciation of their own culture
and the cultures of other peoples.
The interactive software, carefully
chosen Internet links, suggested classroom activities, and projects
make Real Lives an exciting part of your secondary social sciences
curriculum.
