Hammurabi's Code

Today we completed an activity regarding Hammurabi's Code. It required us to pick and choose punishments regarding criminal actions or illegal happenings. Here are some of the scenarios that we had to 'solve':

• A man who is accused of robbing a home stands before you. After reviewing the evidence, you find that he is guilty of robbery. What will his punishment be?-----He will be required to return all stolen goods and he will be put into slavery-----the real code= death
• A construction worker who has built several homes in a neighborhood stands before you. His most recent project, however, has caused some controversy in your town because the home caved in and killed the entire family. What will you give as a punishment?--------he will lose his ability to work in the construction industry, and he will become a slave-----the real code= death
• A slave stand before you. This slave has disrespected his master by telling him "You are not my master!" How will you punish this slave?-----He will be required to continue being a slave and/or do work-----the real code=his ear is cut off
• A sailor stands before you. He is accused of borrowing a friends boat and wrecking it. The man denies that he wrecked the boat and claims to have given the boat in perfect condition. After you investigate, you discover that thee sailor should have treated his friends boat better. What will you give as a punishment?------the accused sailors boat will be confiscated, he will build a new one for his friends------the real code= the sailor shall give the other a new boat
