This is Confucius' Rule of Deference, which emphasizes the importance of showing respect and consideration to others, and avoiding behaviors that we would not want others to impose on us. The Golden Rule is similar but states it in a positive way ("Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"), while Ayn Rand's ethical egoism emphasizes serving one's own interests and desires above all else, and the Principle of Utility (also known as the greatest happiness principle) promotes actions that maximize overall happiness or well-being.
