nobwayner  +  53502 Thu, 04 Nov 04 12:36 AM i have to write an annotated biblography for my western civ class but im having trouble writing my thesis, i was wondering if maybe you guys could give me a little feedback thanks. this was my original thesis: The Patricians were unjustly favored in Hammurabi's code my professors comments were: "true, but diffrent times have diffrent standards of justice and equality. If this were an ethics class we might indulge in a discussion of this nature, but it is not. This is a history class, your statement must reflect a historical perspective" kind of bonehead move on my part, i wasnt really thinking, and im hoping my revised thesis has a historical point to it, let me know.... this is my revised thesis: Hammurabi’s code shaped Mesopotamian law and dramatically fashioned the written laws of civilizations to come. nobwayner Joined on Thu, Nov 4 2004 New Member 03
