Did you know that Hammurambe would eventually rule an estimated population of over one million? Hammurambe was the ultimate ruler, the King of Babylonia, and ruled for forty-two years. The King of Babylonia’s Laws: Were They Fair? Hammurambe’s Code was not fair because there was no evidence Shamash, the god of justice, was real, future kings could not alter the law to make it just, and the strong were not treated the same as the weak. The first reason Hammurambe’s Code was not just was because there was no evidence from the stele that the god of justice, Shamash, ever existed. According to Document A, excerpts from Hammurambe’s Code, “the stele shows Hammurambe standing before Shamash, the god of justice.” Why should we believe the Code if there was no proof Shamash was real? The second reason Hammurambe’s Code was not just was because no other future king could alter the law to make it just, or even to just keep up with what was going on at the time. According to Document B, excerpts from the epilogue, “if he destroys the law...may the great gods of heaven and …show more content…
According to Document E, excerpts from Hammurambe’s Code, “if a man strikes the daughter of a free man and causes her to lose the fruit of the womb, he shall pay ten shekels of silver...if he has struck a slave-girl and has caused her to lose her fruit of her womb, he shall pay two shekels of silver.” If Hammurambe’s Code was truly meant to spread righteousness over the land; if it were really given by the god of justice, Shamash; if Hammurambe himself stated in Document B, excerpts from the epilogue, “may the law spread righteousness in the land...may the strong protect the weak...” How can there be righteousness in the land if the punishments are less harsh for the slave-girl, who is weaker than the daughter of the free girl? How can Hammurambe justify
Hammurabi’s code is unfair because he’s using manipulation to convince his subjects that his laws are fair. In Document A it shows a picture of the piece of black diorite that has had the prologue, laws, and epilogue carved into it. At the very top of the stele is a depiction of Hammurabi meeting with the god of justice, Shamash. This could be an example of manipulation because he doesn’t provide proof or witnesses to help prove the theory that he did, in fact, get the laws from the god of justice, Shamash. He is using their religion and belifs to make them belive in his laws. Again in document B it is metioned that Shamash made the codes, and that Hammurabi is just delivering them. But, He contridicts himeself, he says that the god made
My first reason that shows that Hammurabi’s code was not just is that they were way too harsh. Law number 195, for example, states,” If a son has struck his father, his hands shall be cut
Hammurabi’s code was a set of laws made by Hammurabi. They were the first written set of laws. There is a debate about if Hammurabi’s code was just or unjust. I think Hammurabi’s code was just. The codes were just, because it protected the weak, helped people in troubles, and scared people form breaking the codes.
So the just part of the laws are that Hammurabi is not the one to blame but the god of justice Shamash. That is why it is just and unjust. Also the evidence of this is’’shows Hammurabi standing before Shamash , the god of justice, who is seated on his throne. Shamash is instructing Hammurabi in the laws”
There are many governmental documents in the world, one of them is Hammurabi’s Code. Hammurabi's Code was a series of codes written on a stele by King Hammurabi of Babylonia. The laws were said to be influenced by the gods and everyone had to follow them. But many might ask, was Hammurabi’s Code fair? Hammurabi’s Code was not fair. This is because occupation laws were unjust, laws were extremely different between classes, and laws were different between genders.
Hammurabi's code was just, because it protected people and was fair. For most of the 282 laws in hammurabi's code they were in the best interest of helping and protecting the week, sick, poor, and the vast majority of babylonia. The laws were mostly fair to the people because usually the punishment was something of equal or greater harm than which the crime was committed. The only concern of mine is how harsh some laws were, because the punishment was way worse than the crime, but it was in a good cause so if the punishment was not death that the criminal was taught a good lesson, and if it was death the people didn't have to worry about the criminal that was killed because the criminal would be dead.
The codes created by Hammurabi were without moral because they were too cruel, they did not look at both sides, and the laws were written by Hammurabi himself, with no input from the citizens of Babylon. The codes were too harsh for the crimes committed, and lots of violence could have been avoided. The culprit may have just made a slight mistake, but yet they are heavily punished. One law is if a son strikes his father, his hands would be cut off (Doc C).
Around 4,000 years ago Hammurabi’s code was created by Hammurabi the king of Babylonia with the goal of bringing justice to his kingdom. He even claimed that Shamash the god of justice commanded him to make these laws. Then his laws were carved into large stone’s called steles, written in the ancient cuneiform written, and then put up throughout all major communities of Babylonia. However, these ancient laws were not fair for everyone in his kingdom. Hammurabi’s Code was unjust because the laws pertaining to family life, property law, and personal injury were unfair.
Another reason, if the robber was not caught, the man who has been robbed shall formally declare whatever he has lot before a god, the city and the mayor whose territory or district the robbery has been committed shall replace for him. Many People think Hammurabi’s code was just but what what they don’t realize is that Hammurabi’s code was not just. For example, If a man has borrowed to plant his fields and a storm has flooded his field or carried away the crop(s), in that year he does not have to pay his creditors. This is unjust because The person who planted the crops should have known when not to plant his or her crops because of a storm, and also the creditor(s) who gave the person money should have also known when a storm or something serious was
The Code of Hammurabi was a strict, harsh, and unequal way of punishment that focused on current attainable penalties for Mesopotamian society. The society wasn’t religious, they did not have any affiliations with spiritual beings, which is why punishments were needed for the specific moment
People often assume that kings always make laws that are right and just for all people, but if that is looked into, is it really true? Not necessarily, at least in the case of Hammurabi’s Code. Hammurabi was a king in Babylon during 1792 BCE who created 282 laws which were printed on a stele. These later became known as Hammurabi’s Code. Hammurabi’s Code was made by King Hammurabi who wanted ultimately to protect the weak- such as widows and orphans- from the strong, and who wanted fairness throughout his lands. So, was Hammurabi’s Code fair to all people? Hammurabi’s code was unjust because of evidence supported by laws about Personal Injury, Property, and Family.
Supervisors impose many styles and skills to oversee and provide support to supervisees. There are many leadership and supervision styles that contribute to the success of social work supervisors. Taibbi (2013) indicates the running the session concept is the supervisor focusing on the information they need to complete their job and what the supervisees need to complete theirs (Taibbi, 2013). Additionally, the methods supervisors use to juggle the 2 agendas reflects the demand of the employment, the supervisees stage of development, and the supervisor strengths and style (Taibbi, 2013). Also, supervisors should establish clear supervisory goals with the supervisees(Taibbi,2013) Goals help the supervisor determine how much teaching is needed
The “Code of Hammurabi” is considered to be one of the most valuable finds of human existence. In fact its very existence created the basis for the justice system we have come to rely on today. The creation of “the Code” was a tremendous achievement for not only Babylonian society but for the entire Mesopotamian region as King Hammurabi was ruler over all of that area. Its conception can be considered to be the first culmination of the laws of different regions into a single, logical text. Hammurabi wanted to be an efficient ruler and realized that this could be achieved through the use of a common set of laws which applied to all territories and all citizens who fell under his rule. This paper will discuss the Hammurabi Code and the
