An Objective Code of Ethics

Code of Ethics 

It’s chimerical to believe that Ethics can be voted on. Ethics transcends human opinion and belongs in the realm of objective science. To prove my point, take a democracy, which, can by a ninety-nine percent vote decide to appropriate the property of the one percent and call it “ethical” behavior. Perhaps it is the greatest good for the greatest number of people, but the barbarism of the act is still self-evident. Therefore, I based these ten laws of ethics wholly on an objective viewpoint. 

1. Ethics transcend human behavior. Nature and Nature’s God are both the founders and the executers of the Ethic Law. 
2. Everyman has a natural right to his person; i.e. his life, agency, and the fruits of his agency which is property. 
3. Everyman, having a right to himself also has a right to his own beliefs and thoughts. 
4. Behavior that threatens or injures the rights of fellow human beings, waves the rights of the offender. 
5. Every man is responsible for his own behavior.
6. Everyman’s duty is to keep his word, honor his fellows, and place his family as the first priority. 
7. A man may defend his rights with force, if necessary. 
8. All people are required respect. 
9. A man’s duty is to grow, produce, and build. Although, he cannot be forced to do this, industry is still an ethical action. 
10. A man must seek truth, if his’ action is to be ethical. 

This code, as Im sure you can recognize, is based off of the views and beliefs that the founders had during the eighteenth century, which was nicknamed the Age of Enlightenment. Modern times have changed their belief about ethics considerably. Now days, ethics is just the composite opinions of society. A behavior becomes ethical if everyone says it is. I say nay to that. The Founders understood the world much better than we do. They saw it as an exact mechanism full of law and principles. We see the universe as an empty joke, where nothing is true or means anything and we can change the rock solid laws of nature by a simple propaganda campaign. 

The study of ethics has devolved from being the study of how man can be more moral. It has been changed to become how man can justify what he is already doing. Despite how loud we attest that our actions are justified, the almighty arbiter of morality will always be, as Thomas Jefferson said "Nature and Nature's God."
