Throughout all of my schooling there was a very strong sense that history is something which happened in the past and now it's over. It was never said so that explicitly, but rarely if ever were historical trends carried through to their present implications. It left me with a sort of Francis Fukuyama "End of History" realism that has only been shaken off in the past 10 years or so.
