The mighty Section 3 reviewed material on the transition from hunter/gatherers to the more organized communities of Sumer. Jevan and Phil commanded the front of the room like champs, even after a lockdown and a shelter-in-place. We were then introduced to the Code of Hammurabi, one of the oldest (maybe THE oldest) codes of law in the world.
Tonight, for homework, pick three particular law in the Code, and briefly describe why they stand out to you. Maybe one seems completely unfair, while another appears to be completely reasonable and would not seem out of place in today's world. Maybe one seems to be unenforceable, or one might be unequally applied to different parts of the hierarchy. In any case, briefly discuss three different laws and post your writings in tonight's blog.
