As we can see there is a clear social structure with a different hierarchy. And different people have different jobs. Which helps the city function because different people are doing different jobs, which can have a big impact on their day to day lives.

Evidence 1

My first piece of evidence shows why social structure influenced Mesopotamia the most is, “Many social structures are based on a hierarchy in which some people are valued more than others.”(Social structure article).

Reasoning 1

Here you can see that in almost every social structure there are people that are more valued than others. Which can be very helpful because the people in different positions on the hierarchy do different jobs. And although it may not be very fair it does provide different jobs for different people that helps the city function, which we wouldn't have without social structure.

Evidence 2

Another piece of evidence that shows why social structure influenced Mesopotamia the most is “...Makers and artists, cart drivers and sailors, sellers and soldiers. Farmers grew food for the city. Merchants and artisans traded goods with people from other places.” (Social structure article).

All of their different jobs help the city function and without any of their jobs their city would be so different. That's why the social structure is so important because we need people at different positions to do different jobs to help the city, and make the city great.

In my opinion social structure had the most influence on the Mesopotamian society. Social Structure influenced Mesopotamia the most because you would get treated differently depending on your gender and where you were in the hierarchy. And depending on where you were in the social structure you had different jobs to help the city function.

Someone might say that the food supply has the most influence on Mesopamian society, because a society can’t function without a stable food supply. But Social structure has a bigger impact on people's day to day lives, and it creates people's jobs to help build the city, farm, trade for food and much more that helps the society.

Evidence 3

Also another piece of evidence from the socail structure slides is, "their job was to keep the gods happy as well as provide political and military leadership".

Evidence 4

820735_2 — 2024-10-08 17:17:57 UTC

Another piece of evidence from the social structure slides is, "Merchants and traders were essential to Mesopotamian growth as cities needed to trade for materials not locally available."

Reasoning 3&4

820735_2 — 2024-10-08 17:18:19 UTC

These two pieces of evidence show that every one in Mesopotamia had an important role. Which really impacted individuals day to day lives and also there family's lives depending on there jobs. Plus no matter their jobs they help the city by either proving them with food, leadership, education, resources, and much more. So without social structure they wouldn't have had those jobs that helped the city function, and social structure influenced peoples day to day lives the most because everyone was treated differently based on where they were in the hierarchy.

Here you can see how and where the people of Mesopotamia do their jobs. And you can understand more about how it helps the city.

820735_2 — 2024-10-08 17:35:29 UTC

Here you can see how everyone respected and treated the king, because of all that he has done for Mesopotamia.

820735_2 — 2024-10-08 17:38:24 UTC

Here you can see all of the people in Mesopotamia and what there jobs were based off of the hierarchy.
