What is the Golden Rule?
The Golden Rule, also known as the Ethic of Reciprocity, is a universal ethical principle found in countless cultures, religions, and philosophies. It emphasizes values of mutual respect, interdependence, and reciprocity, often phrased as "Treat others as you wish to be treated." This principle serves as a common moral foundation, encouraging unity and understanding across diverse traditions.
