I think Mesopotamia social structure was the most influential characteristic of society because the social structure was completely influenced to your family and your circumstances which set the stage for the rest of your life.

Below the king, but still in the upper class, were priests and priestesses. They were responsible for religious ceremonies, and could read and write

In the later years of Mesopotamia, kings became more powerful. They wanted to ensure they could pass their kingdom down to a male heir (son), so they established a patriarchy. This meant that men gained more power, while women lost some of their rights.

Other members of the upper class were the educators; every teacher and private tutor was a scribe, and scribes commanded great respect.

some people say that religion is the most influential because people spend their whole lives honoring a god. But your role in the social structure sets the stage for the rest of your life and can affect how much power you have and what life you live. thought religion effects who you honor your whole life but social structure effects how your whole life is going to play out.
