THE GOLDEN RULE ENDED WORLDWIDE SLAVERY, ALBEIT SLOWLY AND IMPERFECTLY
Ethic of reciprocity
The Parable of the Good SamaritanThe ethic of reciprocity, also known as the Golden Rule, is an ethical code that states one has a right to just treatment, and a responsibility to ensure justice for others. Reciprocity is arguably the most essential basis for the modern concept of human rights, though it has its critics.[1]

Today the most common English phrasing of the Golden Rule is "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." (Luke 6:31, NIV) The "Do unto others" part first appeared in English in a Catholic Catechism probably in 1567, but certainly in the reprint of 1583.[3]
