Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon.” Nevertheless, we make a beginning. It is not for the metal alone we go to the Dead Places now—there are the books and the writings. They are hard to learn. And the magic tools are broken—but we can look at them and wonder. At least, we make a beginning. And, when I am chief priest we shall go beyond the great river. We shall go to the Place of the Gods—the place newyork—not one man but a company. We shall look for the images of the gods and find the god ASHING and the others—the gods Lincoln and Biltmore and Moses. But they were men who built the city, not gods or demons. They were men. I remember the dead man's face. They were men who were here before us. We must build again.

How's my essay on Hammurabi's code was just.“If a man has opened his trench for irrigation and the waters have flooded his neighbor’s field, the man must restore the crop he has caused to be lost.” That is just one of the many laws a ruler named Hammurabi created to protect and serve justice to the weakest of the Mesopotamian society. In 1792 BCE Hammurabi would be the first to create a set of 282 working laws that even today’s society still uses. Hammurabi’s code clearly held justice when you look at the fairness and security it provided. Examples of this are in: family law, property law, and personal injury law.
There are many examples of justice in Hammurabi’s family laws. The first is in Law 148, (Document C); it states “If a man has married a wife and a disease has seized her, if he is determined to marry a second wife, he shall marry her. He shall not divorce the wife whom the disease has seized. She shall dwell in the house they have built together, and he shall maintain her as long as she lives.” Hammurabi provides plentiful evidence of his promise of protecting the weak against the strong. Such as the husband must take in and care for his first wife when she is ailing and needs him the most. Another example of justice in Hammurabi’s code can be seen in Law 195, (Document C); it says, “If a son has struck his father, his hands shall be cut off.” One minute the son could be hitting his dad; next he could be trying to overthrow the king. The harsh punishment is fair if you look at the big picture. The society needed to teach the youth to have respect and self-discipline to their elders or else the whole kingdom could come crashing down.
