Let me take you back in time for a moment, you live in a small village before the Industrial revolution and the closest town is four hours away if you have a horse, or a couple of days walking. In your village the main economic activity is shared by most people (let it be mining, fishing, maybe farming) everybody eats the same foods, listens to the same priest, has the same race, etc. It is a very homogeneous society and a very easy and effective rule to decide how to treat others is the famous golden rule "...whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them..." or any of its similar incarnations. Can we still trust this way of thinking today? I think not. I always had a very thick skin, so when I was little and I got in trouble …show more content…
It could be, but it isn't, in reality it fails so often that you could just flip your lucky coin to obtain the same level of advice. The point is that you should do to others as they (and not you) wish. But this implies that you know what that is, and if you don't, well, there is homework to be done. You need to know who are you dealing with. So before your next interaction with a client/coworker/supervisor/spouse/etc do your homework, research how that person wants to be treated, what is important for her, what isn't, what is flattering and what is offensive. That way you will be setting yourself up for a successful meeting. The golden rule is self-centered, unreliable and bad lazy (there is good lazy, but that is a topic for another post) and should be avoided unless you had no way to learn about the other person, in which case it is better than nothing (sometimes). Finally you can say (many people do) "Well I would like to be treated according to my individual needs, values and circumstance so I can use the golden rule that way" If that is the case, marvelous! I apologize for wasting your time with this post. But let's be honest that is not what the golden rule is
traditions calling us always to treat all others as we wish to be treated ourselves.
The first rule and most important commandment in my opinion is to treat others the way you want to be treated. This is a very basic and well known unwritten rule but yet not many people abide by this rule. People tend to treat others as if they are of less importance or of lower class. Everyone is equal and everyone has the same rights so nobody should feel
When speaking to my client I always have a positive body language always making sure I listen and take time to smile and make my client feel relaxed and at ease and able to trust me, and that I will deal will their needs in the best way for them.
This quote represents what God/Jesus was trying to teach about morality and ethics in this passage. Many people in today’s world are putting more of their focus toward following their own traditions, ideas, and rules instead of following the 10 commandments that God gave us. Although human tradition may play an important role in your life, it should never overpower God’s rules. If you constantly say that you are a devoted follower of God, then you need to represent that in your words and actions every day of your life by following the rules that God has given us to live
The most familiar version of the Golden Rule says, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” This concept occurs in some form in nearly every religion and ethical tradition.
Not everyone has the same views about general rules that every person on Earth should follow. There are several popular lists to guide how people live; such as: The Beatitudes, The Ten Commandments, and The Code of Hammurabi. Each of them are similar in some ways, but also they have differences because they are not the exact same. Each guide is different in its own way, and is why some people may agree or disagree with it. Between these three lists of rules, there are different ideas between them, but all of them try to generally guide people into doing the right thing.
RESPECT: Golden Rule - Treat others the way you want to be treated. I will always treat you with respect and courtesy; therefore, I expect that you will treat me, and your classmates, with respect and courtesy. Disruptive and unkind behavior will NEVER be tolerated in this classroom.

Etiquette is the proper way to conduct form and manners that are acceptable and required in social and professional relations. Three crucial elements of etiquette are timeliness, empathy, and respect. These elements are necessary in personal and professional life. Timeliness effects everyone; whether it is waiting to see your attorney or your doctor, many people get irritated when wait times are long, and it is equally disrespectful to be consistently late to appointments, meetings, or social gatherings. Time is important to everyone, and should be treated as such. Respect and empathy go farther than most professionals realize. It is essential to understand, or try to, others feelings, attitudes, and emotions and treat others as you would want to be
Society dictates how to treat others based on an insignificant group’s opinions. It is the individual’s decision as to whether or not those opinions are valid. Education supplies the means to defy those social judgments. Utilizing ones intelligence to reach others promotes successful relationships. Personal experiences establish the basis to support or destroy a relationship due to the fact that individuals are able to rid themselves of disparaging memories and focus on building a healthy relationship. Respect is a gift. Personal integrity and one’s own morals define how other people are treated and how they will, in turn, identify
The Master replied: 'How about reciprocity: never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself?'” (Analects, David Hinton translation).
