"Noachide Laws"

Since we have been learning about moral commandments and the different kind of laws, I began to think about the Sheva Mitzvot bnei Noach. These laws are directed towards non-Jews, but how would they know about them unless they learned the Torah? I assume that most Non Jews have not read the Torah, therefore if there are obligated to follow these seven laws, how can we expect them to if they cannot even find out about them?

I began to do a little research on these seven special laws. Apparently the U.S. Congress recognized these laws in legislation, passed by both houses, in March of 1991 under President George Bush. Congress acknowledged that the world was founded upon these very laws, and the day that these laws were passed was deemed Education Day, U.S.A. - March 26, 1991. (I really hope this is true because it sound a little odd to me personally. If it is not true, I apologize and blame the website I used)

These laws are known as Universal Laws or the Seven Laws to many people so apparently my problem with how people know about these seven commandments does not apply anymore. These seven laws represent a civilized society and try to promote social justice, which is why so many people accept them. Christians sects respect these laws and see them as religiously binding. I think this shows us something very important.

Although sometimes we may think that as Jews, we are the underdogs of the world, it is simply not true. Yes, our history shows that we have faced persecution time and time again but our religion is still alive today, and that is the most important factor. We have a very strong influence on the world around us although our population is tiny compared to the world's population. Although it is debated among historians, our religion was first. We were the first people to promote "ethical monotheism" as Mrs. Perl has mentioned before and that is why other religions, like Christians, use the laws that Hashem made such as the seven laws. They were not intended for us but other people still respect these commandments and do honor them. This shows us the influence that our religion has on the rest of the world, and that is something that we cannot forget.
