Through out history, there has a been a growth of intellectual thoughts, thoughts that makes us different from other living creatures. Among those thoughts, we see familiar rules of moral and ethics in many historical contexts such as in law and religion, among warriors and even pirates. These sets of rules often have the intent to give humans a guidance in life but also shed light on our own responsibilities. Sometimes, these honor codes seems to have the purpose of enhancing the moral aspect of an even deeper unethical situation such as a soldier might find himself in.
Going back in history, we can see that the ideas are not new and that the intellectuals of ancient societies have tried to lived by a generic set of ethical codes and thereby reaching a higher and uplifted level in life. Rules such as the Ten Commandments found in the Bible or the Ten Precepts in Taoism. In almost every kind of religion you will find these codes similar to each other. In the Moral Code of Communism you will find the political equivalent of these codes, all though these codes speaks in terms of the relation of a person to the society, rather than in terms of personal virtues.
The most common of all rules known today is the Golden Rule. It is one of the first philosophical ideas known to mankind and has existed for thousands of years: One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself. A more intriguing code of conduct governing pirates is the article II of captain John Phillips: If any Man shall offer to run away, or keep any Secret from the Company, he shall be marooned with one Bottle of Powder, one Bottle of Water, one small Arm, and Shot.
