Social Structure had the most influence and impact on the Mesopotamian society. The reason social structure is the most important is because everyone had their own role and knew that others had their role so everything could be done.

This evidence is relevant because it shows how everyone had their own role on their pyramid of jobs. If their role has a higher class they would be considered more important and their job would be more major and considerably a more important role.

It clearly favored men and the upper class. “ This is showing that they were trying to make things better and run smoother but it made people start to separate and caused people to be in more inequality. This also created men to be considered more powerful than make all things less fair.
