Why is the Code of Hammurabi so important in todays society?

"Known today as the Code of Hammurabi, the 282 laws are one of the earliest and more complete written legal codes from ancient times. The codes have served as a model for establishing justice in other cultures ... "

"The laws in the Code of Hammurabi established stability, allowing the ancient Babylon Empire to flourish. It allowed all of Babylon’s citizens to read the laws that governed their lives, and the laws could not be manipulated by a ruler to suit his or her own goals."

"Like the laws of today, Hammurabi’s Code lays out specific punishments for specific crimes. The modern legal code does not differentiate between social class. Like today’s legal system, Hammurabi’s Code lays out the way that trials are conducted. It spells out the requirement for witnesses and impartial judges."

the topic i chose to write about was " why scuba diving is so popular". the topic is suitable for the audience because it is the easiest to develop and explain, it can be explained in a simpler more conversational manner, it does not require the use of too many technical words, and the final reason for selecting this topic is that it is the one most people can relate to, you might not know too much about scuba diving, but you could probably agree that it is very popular. the purpose of the writing about this topic is to convince more people about the benefits both for the body and the mind that   scuba diving can have on a person. it can you keep fit since it requires a lot of energy when swimming underwater; it also you relax because you forget about the world when you are underwater being mesmerized by the underwater world. i would write this paper in the summer, a perfect time to give scuba diving a try if a person has not done it yet.
