There are many laws in the Torah that provide for fair treatment of all people. There is the law of gleaning where harvesters can only go through a field once. All that they have missed is to be left for the poor. This is early welfare.
A rebellious child could be killed. We have no record of this actually being implemented. However, this law tells us how important obeying our parents is to God.
Elders were to be treated with great respect - must stand when they enter a room. How different things are today. Elders should be respected today, too.
