Explain. en-us 2017-11-14 15:55:05 UTC 2018-03-01 19:55:54 UTC hello@padlet.com If you steal a son then you will be put to death. I think it does scare people because who would want to be put to death. Also a harsh punishment would be scsary considering you don't know what it is. https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/207194370 By: Connor Hwang]]> 2017-11-15 14:15:10 UTC https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/207194370 If you steal or do something to harm anyone you should be punished but making something it so they receive a terrible thing on themselves should warn them and think if they should do it or if it is worth it.One law that makes them think like that is that if you attack somebody of a higher rank you receive sixty whips with an ox whip 1595585 https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/207338310 By: Himanish Nallanagulagari ]]> 2017-11-15 17:47:01 UTC https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/207338310 Robert Y. 1621837 https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/207466291 If you accused someone of crime and found out that the crime wasn't true, you would be put to death, I think that these scary laws intimidated only some of the people into following the laws, others might've just followed it like it was the U.S.A.]]> 2017-11-15 22:30:53 UTC https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/207466291 Kodiak Ross 1689742 https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/207804406 1: If you steal something, you will be put to death.

Also, I think the laws do scare people because you can get sentenced to death for committing a crime. ]]> 2017-11-17 00:38:35 UTC https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/207947699 Sravya Tathicherla https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/208132128 If someones house goes on fire and you go to help put it out. If you steal one of their possessions in their house you will be thrown n the fire. Yes, I do think harsh punishments scare people into following the law because those consequences are really sad and no one wants that to happen to them so they would follow the law so they wont die or get hurt.]]> 2017-11-17 14:56:34 UTC https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/208132128 Catherine Kelley 1590942 https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/208140081 One of the laws is that if someone is to take a slave out of the city gates they shall be put to death.
I think today that would be a harsh punishment and that they should of had jails and just put them there for three years. But back then that was considered a fair punishment.
I also think that the law would scare people in to following the law unless they were not afraid of death.]]> 2017-11-17 15:11:14 UTC https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/208140081 If you kill a minor son you will be put to death.Yes because they are talking about death and getting killed and i would be really scared and follow the law 1633799 https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/208144248 Jaeyun Roh]]> 2017-11-17 15:19:04 UTC https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/208144248 Nithia Senthilnathan 1585127 https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/208281251 If anyone is committing robbery they will be put to death.Yes,harsh punishments do cause fear because if you do it then you will die.A lot of people aren't willing to risk their lives just to do something bad.]]> 2017-11-17 19:49:30 UTC https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/208281251 Saanvi Indukuri 1633830 https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/208287991 If anyone commits a crime then they will be put to death.

Such as when anyone one steals the property from a temple or of the court, they will be put to death. It really does scare people and because of that, I don't think anyone is going to be willing to do that. Hummarbi was a wise person to make these rules.]]> 2017-11-17 20:08:52 UTC https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/208288625 Mariel Tan 1583379 https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/208288826 If anyone steals cattle, a sheep, a donkey, a pig, or a goat, he shall pay tenfold.  If the thief has nothing with which to pay, he shall be put to death. To me, yes these punishments are harsh, and scare people, just because of one little thing.  ]]> 2017-11-17 20:09:21 UTC https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/208288826 Samarth Bhargav 1584943 https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/208298032 When a house is one fire, if you steal something from the owner's house, then you will be thrown in the flames that the house was burning in. I think that harsh punishments were good because if there weren't harsh punishments, then the law won't be as enforced and people will still do the bad things.]]> 2017-11-17 20:38:30 UTC https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/208298032 Shyla Menon 1589479 https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/208299358 If anyone takes a male or female out of the city gate they shall die. I think it's a little harsh to kill someone for taking a slave outside the city gates. I agree with Hammurabi about "an eye for an eye" everyone who does something bad should get punished though, I think it's very harsh to kill someone for taking a slave outside of the gates.
I do think that harsh punishments scare people into following the law, because now they have to be careful because if they don't follow Hammurabi's code they might die. Hammurabi made the right decision to make these rules and help prevent war.]]> 2017-11-17 20:43:41 UTC https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/208299358 1589479 https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/208310661 2017-11-17 21:37:39 UTC https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/208310661 Ashrit Ghattu https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/208323880 if anyone steals the minor son of another, they shall be put to their death, I think they would be scared because if they are put to death, people would be scared because they do not want to die]]> 2017-11-17 23:37:29 UTC https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/208323880 Kyle Cheung 1593451 https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/208381899 If someone accuses someone of stealing & has no evidence he will be executed.
I think that these punishments scare most people into following the laws, but there would be bound to be someone who defied the law. I also think that these punishments were harsh and intimidated people into adhering to the government like the Galactic Empire of Star Wars or the Nazis of the 1920s-1940s and would be outlawed by the United Nations.]]> 2017-11-18 15:50:26 UTC https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/208381899 Amelia Marsh 1656011 https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/208428145 1. One of the laws is that if a son strikes his father, his hands will be cut off. I believe that this is very harsh and unfair. (and I wouldn't even be punished in this scenario because I'm a daughter)
2. I believe harsh punishments DO scare people into following the law. This is because people do not like it when they are hurt (unless you are VERY weird) Even though this might work, I believe there are better ways of convincing people to follow the law. ]]> 2017-11-19 03:39:15 UTC https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/208428145 Prudhvi Kodali 1714662 https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/208457959 One of the laws are  if you steal cattle, donkey, goat, or any animal like that, you pay tenfold and if you can’t pay, you die. I do think  these harsh punishments scare people into following the law because  no one will want to be killed or pay tenfold to waste their own money, but I think these harsh punishments are to harsh and they should make new laws to convince people to follow the law without really harsh punishments. ]]> 2017-11-19 11:46:06 UTC https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/208457959 Akarshan Anand https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/208483051 If you try and put a hole in a house to break in it you will be put to death. I think that this is a harsh punishment but if you are robbing someone it could potentially take away their life. These are harsh punishments and do scare people because nobody wants to be put to death and if death is the consequence they probably will do the right thing.]]> 2017-11-19 15:47:04 UTC https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/208483051 Vikhyaath Ale https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/208730055 The law about how if you steal the minor son of another you will be put to death.Most people will be scared of death but some might take the risk.]]> 2017-11-20 14:44:16 UTC https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/208730055 Sampurna Chakravorty 1556097 https://padlet.com/vlmichaud/whg6f21brgoc/wish/210156166 1. I think it basically means that if you do some thing then you get the same back, For example if you steal something something gets taken away from you
2. I think it does scare because no one really wants to steal and be bad and if you are bad then you aren't going to be very happy especially if you kill someone then you are probably going to be put to death and that's really scary so I think it really does scare most people  but there is bound to be some one who will break the rules
