1. We should treat others like we want to be treated. - I'd write the way instead of like, but I don't see why the sentence is incorrect.

Hi,

Like is a preposition and should be followed only by a noun or a noun phrase. As is a subordinating conjunction that introduces a subordinate clause. In casual speech you may say You don't know her like I do. But in formal writing, use as.

Best,
