  Live action - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In film and video, live action refers to works that are acted out by flesh-and-blood actors, as opposed to animation.
Live action is the norm in film and video, and thus the term is usually superfluous.
For example, in a movie such as Who Framed Roger Rabbit where humans and cartoons co-exist, "live action" characters are the "real" actors such as Bob Hoskins, as opposed to the animated "actors," such as Roger Rabbit himself.

Live action roleplaying (a term often shortened into LARP or LRP) is a form of roleplaying where the participants do not merely verbally describe their actions, but actually carry them out (or pretend to do so).
Live action games can be compared to improvisational theatre, where each of the participants is free to act on themselves, guided by their interpretation of the character they are playing.
In live action roleplaying in the Horror genre, players can portray normal humans facing unspeakable horrors, intrepid investigators challenging the unknown, or the creatures of the night themselves, dealing with the darker side of existence.

 Living Wage, Live Action
They were motivated, labor activists say, by the city's foot-dragging in implementing a living-wage ordinance that had passed the previous year and guaranteed a minimum of $7.25 an hour (rising with inflation every July 1), plus health benefits and twelve I paid days off.
Forcing private firms with city contracts to pay living wages at least weakens the incentive for cities to achieve budget cuts on the backs of their workers.
The Baltimore "living wage," in other words, is not much of a living, though in light of the precipitous fall in the real value of the national minimum wage, it was a major breakthrough.

 GTO Live Action Impressions - Tokidoki Entertainment Journal - Anime and Video Game Community
While traces of his character come out, the live action Onizuka is not as perverted or violent as the manga and anime versions, and his “lessons” are often less severe than some of the crazy antics he performs in those takes on the story.
Fuyutsuki is quite different in the live action series as well, as she actually does not want to be a teacher- her dream is to become a flight attendant.
There are many more differences in the live action version- some for the better, like Murai’s angry brooding and newfound depth, and some for the worse, like the absence of random Cressida crushing and panty revealing fan service shots.

Certainly few of the Live Combat groups would call themselves by that label, and, although the label is sometimes self-applied, most "Theatre Style" groups would not want to be pigeonholed as such either.
Most live games involve a large number of players (from thirty to several hundred at a time) who walk around and talk with each other, acting out as much of their characters' actions as are allowed within the rules.
Groups which use "live" mechanics have systems for handling combat, magic, and thieving which are designed to make sure no one gets hurt, and many of these groups also have medical insurance.

Affirmative action is a much-debated policy, in employment as well as in education, in the Supreme Court as well as on the street.
Yet as this book shows, affirmative action is both sensible and effective, differing little from many other government programs that evoke no controversy.
Some explanations suggest that opposition stems from a belief that affirmative action functions as a governmentally sanctioned form of reverse racism or sexism, or that it is ineffective or socially disruptive.
