There a wide range of ramifications that are the product of teaching history in schools. These consequences are particularly obvious when history is taught to young children. One product of teaching history at schools that is important to note is the impression that children gain as a result of certain historical events. Children are particularly limited, in comparison to adults, in their critical thinking and reasoning skills. The notable disparity in reasoning skills between children and adults is the reason that children are legally prohibited from gambling; children are, in most cases, incapable of making rational decisions in important situations.

Jean Piaget, a Swiss psychologist, noted that children between the ages of 7 and 11 had developed logical reasoning skills, but were unable to apply these principles to unseen events.

No other text has had such a lasting effect on the world with Western Civilisation in particular.  The Bible contains a total of 66 books written in a plethora of literary styles and genres.

There have been many famous cases of capital punishment, including Jesus being crucified, French guillotining, and Queen Mary of England burning Protestants at the stake. It has been used all around the world, even today in more than 50 countries. Capital Punishment was formally abolished in the UK in 1965 when Harold Wilson’s Labour Government came to office.

The last execution in the UK took place in 1964, and in a poll conducted by YouGov in 2014, only 45% of the public supported the capital punishment system, compared to 51% from a similar survey 4 years ago. America is one of the most developed countries to still...
