Evidence 1

In Mesopatamian civilization the Sumerian people established social structure based off of the upper class, middle class, and lower class. “Many social structures are based on a hierarchy in which some people are valued more than others”

This suggests that everyone in the hierarchy had a class ranking. They were given jobs to do in line with their class and this organization led to further life for this civilization

Evidence 2

The code of Hammurabi states “Hammurabi, the protecting king am I…That the strong might not injure the weak, in order to protect the widows and the orphans.”

This shows that in the Mesopotamia civilization the social structure had everyone protected. This includes the “strong” like the upper class and the “weak” like the lower class. Even though not every one was valued fairly everyone in this society was included.

Claim

Social structure is the most influencing, Mesopotamia’s civilization ran off of a system of rankings called hierarchy. The rankings lead to organization. Mesopotamia’s social structure was based on Hammurabi’s Code. The code was a set of rules and laws and it was supposed to protect everyone in the society.

Counter claim

As some might argue that Mesopotamia's social structure isn't the most influential with the Food supply keeping them also stable i tend to disagree. Though Food supply is a very strong characteristic,Social structure gave them food with giving the roles of the farmers, with out social structure they would not have been as stable most likely being confused or genuinely forgetting what to do without these roles given throughout their hierarchy.

This information makes me believe that Social structure has been the most influential on this civilization with their hierarchy keeping it stable and keeping roles to keep the Mesopotamian's thriving.
