Hammurabi's Code gave different punishments to offenders, depending on which class they
belonged to. Why do you think the law was set up this way?

Answer:

Becuse Babylonian society, the society to which the Hammurabi Code belonged to, was an extremely stratified society, divided by castes: the royal caste, the priest caste, the merchants caste, the farmers caste, and the slaves caste.

This means that the society was very hierarchichal, instead of egalitarian. All people were not considered equal under the law, like we do today. Poorer farmers were considered to be worth less than a wealthy landowner, or a priest, and an offense by a poor farmer was thought to be more serious than an offense by the wealthy landowner or the priest.

Excerpt from Chasing the Paulding Light
Alexandra Rowker, Investigative Journalist

guardrail facing the dense Northern Michigan forest. A wooden sign served as the only indication that we had reached our
destination. It is hard to believe that this location has fueled forty years of rumors. After parking, we hopped out to examine the
sign. This is the location from which the famous Paulding Light can be observed," it explained. "The light will appear each
evening in the distance. My photographer, Anthony, finished reading the sign and looked at me skeptically. I just shrugged. A
good journalist gathers the facts before rendering judgment. Anthony took a few photos before we ventured into town to
interview witnesses.

Read the excerpt from "On Becoming an Inventor" by Dean Kamen. My next challenge was that I wanted to make things out of metal, so I became interested in how to use a lathe, a milling machine, and so on. I went to buy this new equipment I thought I'd need and met a man who had a machine shop of his own who was about to retire and move to Florida. He allowed me to visit him after school and on weekends to observe how he used all his tools. I was hooked. When he retired I bought not only all his big equipment but all his little toolboxes as well--they were treasures!
