For nearly three decades, students in Western educational institutions have been introduced to the concept of a liberal education that lacks a solid foundation in historical context. Instead of engaging with comprehensive narratives or timelines, they have experienced fragmented learning through isolated modules. This approach has focused on analyzing short excerpts rather than developing the essential skills of extensive and rapid reading.

The educational framework has promoted emotional empathy towards historical figures, such as Roman centurions or Holocaust victims, but has fallen short in encouraging in-depth analysis of the causes and circumstances surrounding their experiences. This method hampers students' ability to articulate their thoughts in essays, limiting their historical understanding to mere feelings rather than critical thinking.
