Judaism was the first in promoting equal rights ( though recognizing each as different) for women and men, kindness to orphans, widows,those who are strangers in a strange land,to animals, to one's neighbor to the poor. The golden rule is a Jewish concept. Judaism was the first promoter of a fair court of law based on justice (and not on wealth,strength, and other arbitrary reasons).

Answer:Judaism marked the beginning of a revolutionary idea that laid the groundwork for social reform: humans have the ability and therefore the responsibility to stop injustices in the world. The Jews were the first to decide that it was their responsibility as the Chosen People to fight against inequality in the world. This mentality revolutionized social reform and brought it into existence as a way for human beings to positively shape their world. The ideas laid by the Jews continued to impact people for centuries and are especially relevant in the modern world.
