The idea of a parent's duty to his child, a prohibition against killing useful members of society, and prohibition against incest are all examples of these universal morals. Most cultures also have some version of the golden rule: do unto others as you would have them do unto you.A practicable Code of Universal Ethics was proposed by Enno Winkler.
