We chose the topic The Code of Hammurabi. This is because King Hammurabi formed the basis of the justice system. This is very important in terms of communication within society. Without laws, society would be chaotic. The laws provide forms of punishment and consequences for unethical actions. The Code of Hammurabi was very innovative, for it was very simple to comprehend the standards set for civilians. Hammurabi avoided complex systems language that often made it convenient for kings to punish civilians. Furthermore, this code has allowed civilians today to communicate with the law, with ease. When researching the topic, we looked for primary sources such as the code itself and secondary sources, such as reflections back on the code. A primary source would provide us with Hammurabi’s thoughts on organizing a society. A secondary source can help give a different perspective of Hammurabi’s code and the rules that were put in it. We selected a website to create our project on since it would be the most convenient option. Different tabs or sections can be added to split apart the different parts of explaining the code and how it can affect people in society today. It relates to the NHD theme because the code communicates with the civilians by adding boundaries to society. Without laws preventing crime, civilization would not be able to hold itself together. This enduring issue of power has continued over time because Hammurabi’s code has established a system of laws to follow in society. Even though in the present-day laws can be much more civilized and fair towards the person committing a crime, in some parts of the world, the government still applies very harsh rules to a felon. It lists out the requirement for witnesses and impartial judges, as well.
