This code of principles would be a set of principles that would assist the behavior of people and societies in the West. It would offer a structure for making choices and taking action that is based upon logic and reason, instead of on emotion or custom. This code of ethics would be a method to guarantee that Western culture is not just born-again, however also that it is able to prosper and advance in the future. By developing a rational code of principles, Western culture would be able to move on in a manner that is useful to all.
