Study Notes
History Education Flaws
- Traditional education lacks a model for political history.
- Students are presented with unconnected historical facts, leading to a perception of history as trivial.
- This lack of context leaves students vulnerable to misunderstandings and poor choices, exemplified by the Vietnam War.
A Different Historical Framework
- Focus on Higher Law versus political power, which provides a more meaningful structure for understanding history.
- This method offers greater utility in navigating everyday issues.
Common Law Principles in Daily Life
