There should be one moral code of conduct for everyone, young or old, religious or not.

A moral code of conduct is a set of rules that tells people what is right and what is wrong in everyday life. They help guide ones behaviour or help when making a decision either by their experience, conscience or religion. All religions have a golden rule. This is an important rule that children are usually taught to follow from a young age. A universal moral code is a set of moral norms that is universally agreed, no matter someone’s age or religious beliefs. There are lots of reasons for and against this idea and I will be talking about them in my answer.
A universal moral code would mean that everyone would be equal by having the same rights. As the Bible states, “Love your neighbour as yourself”. This golden rule shows that equality is encouraged in the Christian religion just like all others. “No one of you is a believer until he desires for his brother that which he desires for himself”. The Qur’an and the Hadith in the Islamic religion also encourage equality. Equality is having the same rights for everyone regardless of their name, age, religion, status or race. Having equality usually discourages hatred, conflicts, violence and wars. Also, all religions already believe in basic moral rules such as equality so having a universal moral code only reinforces religious moral codes.
Having a universal moral code would mean less confusion throughout the world. For example, if you grew up in a country like China where dog meat is morally correct to eat, and you come to live in Britain where it is immoral, you face a lot of confusion and not so much understanding as to how some people oppose your behaviour as you believe it’s moral. However, if there was a universal moral code it would be very simple for people to know what is moral and what is immoral hence they would have no excuse to break them.
Nevertheless, people from different cultures, religions, ages have different and sometimes opposing moral beliefs so integrating them all into one universal moral code would be very difficult and probably biased because it wouldn’t be able to combine all beliefs. For example, a senior citizen might be against feminism and believe a women’s place is in the home whereas a person from a younger generation might believe in equality between the sexes. It would be very hard to establish who is morally correct in this instance and many other situations. Therefore a universal moral code wouldn’t benefit everyone and would always be unfair one way or another.
There are different religions throughout the world so making a universal moral code will either only be based on one religion or will not cover any religious issues. The fact that the Niqab (a veil that cover someone’s face only leaving the eyes [from the Islamic religion]) is banned from France excludes the Islamic religion from the moral codes of the country. Some people find this immoral but others, like the French government, disagree. If a universal moral code was to be made, it would either include religious issues and morals or it would not. This example ensures that every religion, personal belief and personal morals would not all be included in a universal moral code.
Having a universal moral code of conduct would not work for reasons I have already mentioned therefore I am totally against the idea and hopefully most people will agree with me. PS I really suck at intros and conclusions :(
