"Priestesses were also healers who provided the world’s first medical care and dentistry. Other members of the upper class were the educators; every teacher and private tutor was a scribe, and scribes commanded great respect."(Social Structure Article)

Reasoning #1

This evidence shows us that the priestess and other upper class members had a certain job that they had to do like scribes were tutors and educators. Other people below the upper class had a different job to do to help with the Mesopotamian civilization. If there was no social structure and people didn’t have a job they had to do, it would be less organized and people wouldn’t know what to do. It would be harder to survive with others if there wasn’t an organized system of people doing jobs.

“It is important because it created a set of rules that helped govern a civilization while trying to protect people even if they had a little political power. “(Document 5 : Government)

This evidence proves that this Hammurabi's code helped with the organizing of laws and keeping people from doing something that would not be good. People who broke these rules would be punished which is good because it keeps people from hurting others. If these rules weren’t a thing, then a civilization wouldn’t really be one because people would steal materials that others need and people would be hurting.

In my opinion Social Structure had the influence. Social structure impacted Mesopotamia society because without it a society can’t function and do all of the other things required for a society without a social structure. Another reason why is because people wouldn’t know how to work together and have someone to have different jobs that are crucial to Mesopotamia and civilizations in general.

Some people say that government is the most important because there is an order and the way things are done but without Social Structure, there would not be an organized civilization and people doing bad stuff would not be a good and bad but chaos.
