The ones about marriage and the relationships between men and women than exist in nearly every civilization in the world for thousands of years.

I think the jury is out on the modern world, as many slaves in middle ages lived far better than the capitalist "slave" workers in the America, India, Philippines, today.

The reason why they had such similar ideals is because none of them had effective birth control. That was just developed in the 20th century. Pre-marital sex is no longer an issue, you no longer have to marry someone just because of your raging hormones.

However, the jury is still out because many existing cultures are disappearing by choice.
