As a Wicca they have a set of moral and spiritual values that precisely fits the purpose.

All my life, I have been told that I should treat others the way how I want to be treated. That I should follow the Golden Rule and treat others with the utmost dignity and kindness in order to get the same treatment in return. Although I tried to follow this rule, I often ended up breaking it. I still occasionally mistreat others to seem superior, to feel as if I am worth more in society. Almost everyone does it because they often desire superiority in their community, to feel as if they are better than others and that they are worth more. We can occasionally break the Golden Rule by treating people with cruelty and disrespect to make ourselves seem wealthier, in better social standing, or racially to others. Although we profess a belief in

I never liked to share my toys. In kindergarten one day, I saw that Claire had the stuffed animal I always played with when I was there. I got so angry that I went up to her, grabbed it, and started running in circles around her flaunting it. That was when my teacher pulled me to the side and told me the Golden Rule, “Treat others the way you want to be treated.” This lesson was continuously taught to me throughout my growth and had a lot of value placed onto it. Without much analysis, I simply assumed it meant to be kind to others. However, it is much more than that for it is seen in almost all organized religions. This principle is also known as the Ethic of Reciprocity, which is used as the key to solve conflict and encourage unity between

The most important thing I learned as a child was to treat others the way you want to be treated. It may sound cliche but it helped me out when I was a child. It made me have a lot of respect for others because I didn’t know what their lives were like. The event that helped me remember this was the time I made fun of a homeless person, but I didn’t know that he was homeless at the time. This made me realize that not everyone has what other families have. Like food, water, shelter. This memory struck to me because it was raining one day, and I saw the same homeless man sitting in the rain with nothing to protect him from it. I felt really bad for him because of the way I treated him. I didn’t know that he wasn’t able to buy anything. When I finally asked him what he was doing, sitting there in the raid.

In Jim Yerman’s “The Golden Rule,” the reader is presented with the notation that each of us is responsible for doing right by others. Whether or not we are treated well, we can still choose to do nothing. The notation of self-control is found as Yerman’s poem begins.

Do you follow G-d’s rules? Well one should. If you don’t follow G-d’s rules unfortunate events will happen to you as demonstrated in the first stories of the Torah. Adam and Eve, and Cain all had one thing in common, they didn’t follow the rules of G-d and were punished severely. The Torah convinces Jews to follow the rules by showing them the consequences if they don’t in the Torah.

Socially merciful- The “Golden Rule” treat others as you want to be treated. Treat all humans with the dignity and respect that they deserve, regardless of race, creed or socioeconomic status.

Whenever I am told “Anna you are always going somewhere new”, I smile and think of my Mother Sue. Whenever my friends tell me that I am too nice, I tell them “don’t let my mom hear you say that”, because Ma Sue taught me that no matter who someone is or what they have done always be kind, God is always watching.

If I was a ruler in the eighteenth century, I would claim my reign by Divine Right of Kings because it is the most advantageous of the three. Divine right of kings is the idea that the power of the king or queen derives from God, not the people. This is advantageous because the ruler would have absolute power with little to no consequences. In addition, any political dissent against authority figure would be viewed as an insurrection against God because only God can appoint ruler to govern. Consequently, power is concentrated on a single individual with little resistance. However, a possible downside to divine right of kings is that a high religious figure can challenge my authority, claiming that God has revoked my right as ruler. This can lead to rebellion. However, religion and government have a history of colluding with each other in order keep their power.

Have you ever heard the golden rule. Well if you haven't it is to treat others the way you want to be treated. If everyone is treated fairly everyone's life will be granted with happiness and success. Both authors in the short story “All summer in A Day” by Ray Bradbury, and the picture “The Lonely Little Duck” express the same theme-- treat others the way you want to be treated Treating others the way you want to be treated really means that if you are kind to people you should expect kind things back, but if you are hurtful to people you might get hurt back.

The Golden Rule states that we are to treat other people as we would like to be treated ourselves. It is followed by fellow believers and is recognized in all cultures and almost all major religions. R.M. MacIver states that this is the only rule that stands by itself in the light of its own reason, the only rule that can stand by itself in the naked, warring universe, in the face of the contending values of men and groups (274).

As a child I was taught to be polite and to never use obscenities, that there are many words within the English language that I can use to express myself and this was enforce by family and teachers and I was aware of the consequences of disobeying rules set forth. A core principle that was instilled in me was to always ask for something, but most importantly the value of earning and deserving of getting rewards, that nothing in life that is not earned without hard work and sacrifice. In earning these rewards one can appreciate hard work and know the value of hard work. Another important value taught to me as child is to be willing to share with others and that there is joy and fulfillment in sharing and an appreciation for what you have and not to covet things your neighbors have. I had to learn to appreciate what I had and show that appreciation and that has carried over into my adult life wherein I appreciate gifts and people and I am very thankful for those in my life. I am very careful of the friends I keep as one of the things instilled in me is that the people you surround yourself is a reflection of the person you are.

Growing up in my family taught me that honesty is the best policy. When I would get into trouble as a child I would often try to lie to my mom thinking that would save me from being punished. I soon learned that lying would only get me into more trouble than I was already. Honesty has given me the reputation of
