Genius Hour Presentation Today, the students learned more about Mesopotamia and about the laws that existed. They learned that the Hammurabi code was very interesting and the consequences for certain actions were much more severe compared to what the consequences are like today. They were quick to note that we have become much more civilized. The students felt that the laws have changed to reflect how we have evolved into a much more developed, civilized, and peaceful people.
