Ethics - An Integral Part of Every Human Society

Societies with long history often have literature on the need to follow ethics in day to day life/living of the individuals, families, etc. Religious texts include discussion and modes of practice of ethics. For example, Tamil, which is used in day to day life with an uninterrupted history of thousands of years, has a long list of literary works dealing with ethics. Communities which do not have any writing system, or which have acquired/developed writing system in recent decades, are usually called pre-literate communities. They also have their own ethics and moral codes, etc. often through folktales, folksongs, etc. In other words, there is no human society which does not have, or which does not follow ethics of their own.
