WHAT DOES GOLDEN RULE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

golden rule

Golden Rule

The Golden Rule or ethic of reciprocity is a maxim, ethical code or morality that essentially states either of the following: ▪ One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself. ▪ One should not treat others in ways that one would not like to be treated. This concept describes a "reciprocal", or "two-way", relationship between one's self and others that involves both sides equally, and in a mutual fashion. This concept can be explained from the perspective of psychology, philosophy, sociology and religion. Psychologically, it involves a person empathizing with others. Philosophically, it involves a person perceiving their neighbor as also "an I" or "self." Sociologically, this principle is applicable between individuals, between groups, and also between individuals and groups. Religions figure prominently in the history of this concept. As a concept, the Golden Rule has a history that long predates the term "Golden Rule", or "Golden law", as it was called from the 1670s.
