the individuals’ perfect growth according to their predispositions and capabilities. The cultural
heritage is regarded as one of the educational means. Such a heritage should be organized
psychologically for fitting the various stages of development.[2]
Other educationists added the estimation of the ethics, the good behavior, and the activities in
labor to the educational processes. They also added self‐will, self‐reliance, and the rectification of
desires, respecting people’s rights, good relation with the society, forbidding evil, presenting the
environmental factors, and working for developing the human societies, to the goals of the
educational processes.[3]
Plato supposes that one of the educational goals should be releasing the ignorant individuals from

freedom. The highest mental natures should be elevated to the ranks of practicing good deeds in
this world.[4]

3. The development of the social trends
