Historical goals regarding education aimed to help people transcend their immediate surroundings in order to adopt a cosmopolitan* outlook. *cosmopolitanism: humans are bound by a shared set of values -- commonalities that transcend other social constructs regarding our identity. Religious leaders resistance to violent colonization of latin america and the subjection of the indigenous populations invoked notions of natural rights for all of humanity which serves as the cornerstones of human rights.
