Hammurabi's Code was an organized list of 282 laws created by King Hammurabi of Babylonia between 1792-1750 BC to help settle disputes in all areas of life. The Code was based on the principle of "an eye for an eye" where the punishment fit the crime, though it was not equal and depended on the social class of the victim. Writing first developed in Mesopotamia around 3100 BC and was important as it allowed the recording of vital information like farm records and helped us learn about their civilization.

Mesopotamia
Mesopotamia, located between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, was known as the "Cradle of Civilization". The flooding of the rivers provided ideal conditions for the development of settlements and agriculture. Individual city-states emerged along the rivers, each with their own patron deity, government, and eventually king. Sumer was an early Mesopotamian civilization centered around cities like Ur and Uruk, known for innovations like the ziggurat temple towers and a polytheistic religion. Later, Babylonia rose to power under the rule of King Hammurabi, who developed one of the earliest known code of laws.
Reasons for the jamestown colony
The document summarizes the founding and early development of the Jamestown colony in Virginia. It discusses that England established Jamestown in 1607 as an economic venture to obtain raw materials and open new markets. The colony struggled at first but survived due to trading relationships with the local Powhatan people. However, tensions grew as the English settlement expanded and permanently changed the land. The arrival of Africans and women in 1620 helped establish a diverse, permanent colony and economy dependent on tobacco. The Virginia House of Burgesses, founded in 1619, was the first representative legislative body in America.
The Rise of the Persian Empire
1) Persia arose as a power in 550 BC under Cyrus the Great and came to rule an empire stretching from the Indus River to Anatolia.
2) Cyrus was a remarkable ruler who treated conquered peoples kindly and allowed freedoms of religion and self-governance within his empire.
3) Subsequent rulers like Cambyses expanded the empire but were less benevolent, while Darius organized the administration and established infrastructure like the Royal Road.
Laws of Hammurabi
Hammurabi, the sixth king of Babylon, established one of the first centralized governments with a set of written laws called the Code of Hammurabi around 1792-1750 BCE. The 282 laws covered topics like religion, trade, slavery, theft, food, and military service. Some laws specifically addressed medical malpractice and established compensation amounts for physicians depending on whether they treated a noble, commoner, or slave. Babylonian medicine was advanced for its time, introducing concepts like diagnosis, prognosis, and empirical observation-based treatment. Medical texts gave logical rules for combining patient symptoms to determine diagnoses and prognoses. While some diseases could be treated, incurable patients were referred for rituals to cleanse curses.
Mesopotamia
This document provides an overview of Mesopotamian civilization and its legacies. It discusses the geographic conditions of Mesopotamia and summarizes the major historical periods of Sumer, Akkadia, and Babylonia. It then highlights several important legacies of Mesopotamian civilization, including the development of cities, cuneiform writing, the wheel, agriculture/livestock, irrigation systems, and the standard hour/minute units of time. The document concludes that ancient Mesopotamian civilizations left behind many innovations that still impact the modern world today.

Greek City States
The document discusses the emergence of city-states in ancient Greece following a period of darkness. After Dorian invaders defeated the Mycenaeans around 1200 BCE, Greece entered a 400 year dark age where no writing occurred. Around 800 BCE, small villages began banding together to form trading centers called city-states, and hundreds emerged across Greece. Each city-state had its own identity and government, and citizens were fiercely loyal to their own city over any sense of national identity. The Acropolis in Athens housed important temples and monuments.

7. Delhi Sultanate Administration.pptx
The document summarizes key aspects of administration under the Delhi Sultanate. It describes the sultanate as a theocratic benevolent state ruled according to Islamic law. It established iqtas, or revenue-collecting territories, which were initially military-administrative grants but later became hereditary under Firoz Shah Tughlaq. The sultanate had a complex bureaucracy including offices of prime minister, finance minister, provincial governors, and a judicial system headed by a chief qazi. Ulema, or Islamic scholars, played an influential role in legal matters and helped legitimize sultanate rule through religious sanction.
The code of hammurabi
This presentation discusses the Code of Hammurabi, the first written law code created by King Hammurabi of Babylon in approximately 1780 BC. It provides background on Hammurabi, noting that he expanded the Babylonian empire through military victories. The Code of Hammurabi contained 282 laws that were inscribed on stone pillars and placed in public areas so citizens were aware. Some key principles included "an eye for an eye" retaliation and specific punishments for crimes like assaulting one's father. The Code was an important development as it established order and fairness during a time of wars and helped govern Babylon.
Mesopotamia
Mesopotamia was the site of some of the earliest civilizations due to its fertile land between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. Natural levees along the rivers allowed for irrigation, farming, and the establishment of cities like Ur and Babylon. Sumerians developed systems of governance, religion, trade, mathematics, and the earliest form of writing called cuneiform to record their achievements, laying the foundations for later civilizations.

Nature and Scope of Political Science.pdf
This document provides an overview of the nature and scope of political science. It begins by defining political science as the systematic study of politics and the state through observation and evidence-based analysis. It then discusses traditional views that considered political science an art rather than a science due to challenges like lack of experimentation. However, more modern approaches argue it can be considered a science if theories are empirically tested. The document also outlines the changing focus of political science to incorporate broader studies of power relations and human behavior beyond just institutions of government. It concludes by describing the scope of political science as encompassing the state, political institutions, and national and international problems.
British administration
The document discusses the evolution of bureaucracy and civil services under British rule in India from 1765 to 1947. It covers key developments such as:
1) The East India Company acquired administrative powers in 1765 and civil services were divided into covenanted and uncovenanted branches.
2) Reforms from the late 18th century aimed to professionalize civil services through institutions like Fort William College and open recruitment.
3) The 1858 Act established the Indian Civil Service through open competitive exams in London. Self-governance institutions also expanded gradually over time.
4) The civil services were centralized and hierarchical but decentralization efforts grew from the early 20th century onward through commissions and Acts.
The Law Code Of Hammurabi
The document describes Hammurabi's role as the ruler of Babylon, appointed by the gods Marduk and Anu to establish justice and righteousness. It then lists several legal cases and what Hammurabi declared the punishment should be, such as putting a builder to death if their faulty construction causes a house to collapse and kill the owner, or throwing a neglectful wife into the water. The document emphasizes establishing order and justice according to the will of the gods.
Sm hw 1.8 mesopotamia
The document discusses the early river valley civilizations that developed around 3500 BC, including those in Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Indus Valley, and China. It notes that by 2000 BC, four important civilizations were flourishing in major river valleys and helped sustain agriculture. The Sumerians in Mesopotamia created some of the first cities and organized into independent city-states between rivers like the Tigris and Euphrates, developing advanced societies with specialized workers, complex institutions, record keeping, and technology.
Revolutions of 1830 1848
The document discusses the revolutions of 1830 and 1848 in France and how they inspired revolts across Europe. In 1830, the July Revolution overthrew King Charles X of the House of Bourbon and replaced him with Louis-Philippe. The 1848 Revolution removed Louis-Philippe and established the Second Republic with universal male suffrage. Louis Napoleon later became emperor as Napoleon III. While some uprisings succeeded temporarily, like in Belgium gaining independence, most failed due to a lack of widespread support and were crushed by military force.
Women in Ancient Greece
In ancient Greece, women had very limited freedom and were not considered full citizens. They required their husband's permission to leave the home or participate in social activities. Girls were educated at home in domestic tasks like housekeeping rather than attending school. Women lived separately from men in the women's quarters of the home and had little independence. Overall, ancient Greek society exhibited misogynistic attitudes by restricting women's rights and placing many limitations on their freedoms and roles outside the home.
Ancient China
Ancient China developed major civilizations along river valleys like the Yellow River and Yangtze River. Geographic isolation led the Chinese to believe they were the center of the world. Early dynasties like the Shang and Zhou established social hierarchies and developed writing. The Qin dynasty unified China and built infrastructure like the Great Wall. Subsequent dynasties like the Han expanded the empire and implemented civil service exams. The Tang and Song dynasties represented a cultural golden age with advances in technology, art, and education. China's empires were later conquered by Mongol invaders.

The Songhai Empire was a West African empire located along the Niger River in the 15th-16th centuries. It was founded by Sonni Ali in 1464 and became one of the largest empires in world history, controlling trade routes across West Africa. Under Askia Mohammed in the late 15th century, the empire prospered through trade, administering taxes, promoting education and spreading Islam. However, after Askia Mohammed's death the empire declined and was eventually conquered by Morocco in 1591. Timbuktu emerged as a major center of learning, culture and commerce during the empire's height.
Hammurabi code of laws
The document discusses Hammurabi, the king of Babylon who created one of the earliest known legal codes in ancient Mesopotamia.

These include decrees about builders, nuns entering wine shops, debtors, wine sellers allowing criminals, adoption disputes, disrespectful wives, determining truths, and striking fathers. The document encourages writing a letter to the editor offering an opinion on one of the Codes.
Mesopotamia
Mesopotamia was the first civilization located between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in modern-day Iraq and Syria. It was the site of several influential empires over thousands of years. People were initially drawn to settle in Mesopotamia due to its fertile flood plains for agriculture from the surrounding rivers. Major early civilizations included the Sumerians in southern Mesopotamia around 3500-2000 BCE, made up of independent city-states, and the Akkadian Empire of 2330-2130 BCE, which unified the region under one ruler for the first time. Later the Babylonian Empire arose around 1800 BCE under King Hammurabi, famous for his legal code,
Islam to Africa
Great states arose in West, East, and South Africa as a result of the spread of Islamic trade and culture. In West Africa, Islam spread through cultural diffusion while East African port cities were colonized. This introduced new religions, literacy, trade practices, and arts to African kingdoms. Powerful states like Ghana, Mali, and Songhai emerged along the Niger River, benefiting from the trans-Saharan gold and salt trade with North Africa. Wealthy city-states also developed in East Africa along trade routes to India and China, introducing Arabic and African cultures. Eventually, European powers began colonizing the African coasts in the 15th-16th centuries to gain control of the lucrative trade networks.
Hammurabi’s code
Hammurabi's Code was the first complete system of written law, established around 1772 BCE in ancient Mesopotamia by King Hammurabi of Babylon. It laid out legal codes and corresponding punishments, with harsher penalties for lower social classes, and often violent punishments including death or removal of body parts. The Code was displayed publicly in Babylon so that all citizens could see and learn the laws. It influenced the development of later legal systems and codes.
Babylon
The Sumerians settled in Mesopotamia around 3500 BC and formed 12 city-states by 3000 BC. Each city-state was independently governed but most came to be ruled by kings by 2700 BC. The Sumerians developed cuneiform writing, a calendar, innovations like the wheel and arch, and had a patriarchal society where men exercised authority over women. Their economy was based on agriculture and trade. They also established one of the earliest empires in Mesopotamia under Sargon I and the later Babylonian Empire under Hammurabi issued one of the earliest legal codes.
Cuneiform ppt
Early writing began as pictograms used by Mesopotamians to record crop amounts and taxes. Over time, these signs evolved into the script known as cuneiform, which was invented in southern Mesopotamia. Cuneiform was adopted by other groups like the Sumerians and Akkadians to record all sorts of administrative and cultural information. Scribes wrote cuneiform wedge-shaped signs onto clay tablets using reed tools, and the system developed over thousands of years, with signs changing orientation and taking on multiple meanings, including becoming representations of sounds.

First Civilizations: Mesopotamia
The earliest civilizations arose around 6,000 years ago in Mesopotamia and Egypt. Agricultural prosperity along rivers like the Tigris and Euphrates led to urban civilization and the formation of city-states in Mesopotamia. Powerful commanders took control of city-states and became the first monarchs. Some of the earliest empires that arose included the Akkadian, Babylonian, Assyrian, and Persian empires. One important contribution was the Code of Hammurabi, one of the earliest known codes of law, which was written on stone tablets and established principles of lex talionis, or reciprocal justice.

While later societies developed beyond Hammurabi's Code, it was significant as one of the first comprehensive legal systems in the world.
Laws: Code of Hammurabi
The Code of Hammurabi was the first set of laws created in Mesopotamia around 1750 BCE. It consisted of 282 laws established by King Hammurabi to establish order and fairness. The laws were harsh by today's standards, following the principle of "an eye for an eye." Without the Code, Mesopotamian civilization likely would have descended into chaos. While its punishments were too severe for modern times, the Code helped develop legal systems and order in the region.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Mesopotamia's Contributions
- 1. “The Legacy of Mesopotamia”
- 2. Hammurabi’s Code Code- organized list of laws Hammurabi- ruled Babylonia from 1792 B.C. to 1750 B.C. Written law helps people know what is expected of them and what punishment they will receive if they break the law. Hammurabi’s Code was created to help people settle disputes in all areas of life. 282 laws total in the code.
- 3. “If a man has destroyed the eye of a man of the class of gentlemen, they shall destroy his eye. If he has broken a gentlemen’s bone, they shall break his bone. If he has destroyed the eye of a commoner or broken a bone of a commoner, he shall pay one silver. If he has destroyed the eye of a gentleman’s slave, or broken a bone of a gentlemen’s slave, he shall pay half of the slave’s price. If a gentlemen’s slave strikes the cheek of a gentlemen, they shall cut the slave’s ear off.” -from Hammurabi’s Code
- 4. Eye for an Eye Hammurabi’s code based on “eye for an eye”. (Punishment should fit the crime committed.) Code was not equal to all people, based on Social Class. Higher the class of the victim, greater the punishment was. Even if the law was broken by accident, punishment was still the same.
- 5. “Sorry Doc!” “If a surgeon performed a major operation on a citizen with a bronze knife and the citizen dies, his hand shall be cut off!” – from Hammurabi’s Code
- 6. More Laws… If anyone steal the minor son of another, he shall be put to death. If anyone is committing a robbery and is caught, he shall be put to death. If a son strikes his father, his hands shall be cut off. If you disrespect Mr. Epifano, you shall be thrown in the Westridge Dungeon (Oops how did this get here!)
- 7. Why are written laws important? ( answer in your Cornell notes)
- 8. Art of Writing Writing first developed in Mesopotamia around 3100 B.C. Writing met the need to keep records, hence why we know so much about Mesopotamia. Scribes kept records of farm animals, government workers, military supplies, and important events.
- 9. How was Writing Invented? At first, written words were symbols that represent certain objects. Symbols changed over time into cuneiform, which are symbols that make groups of wedges and lines. ( Like our alphabet) Cuneiform served a variety of people.
- 10. QUIZ What was Hammurabi’s code, and what was its purpose in ancient Babylonia? What does the expression “eye for an eye” mean? How was Hammurabi’s code fair and how was it unfair? Why was the development of writing of writing an important step in human History?
