Answer:

Hammurabi’s Code is one of the earliest collections of law. It was created in Babylonia around 1760 BC and it has a total of 282 sections of the law engraved on a stone boat in a public place. The law is named after Hammurabi, the then king of Babylon.

The basic idea of the law has been said to be the principle "Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth", but also Hammurabi's Code provided for penalties for various violent and other crimes and debts according to the same principle. However, in some cases, even under Hammurabi's Code, violent crimes were punishable only by a fine, especially if the crime was committed against a person of a lower estate.

The law dealt mainly with theft, pastoral issues, property damage, women’s rights, marriage, children’s rights, slave rights, murder and various assaults, and death. The punishments were different for members of different social groups. The law does not mention anything about taxation.

"Read an excerpt from "Television and the Public Interest" and answer the question. The speech was delivered by Newton N. Minow,

wel

Answer:

"And most young children today, believe it or not, spend as much time watching television as they do in the schoolroom." (paragraph 4)

And

"If parents, teachers, and ministers conducted their responsibilities by following the ratings, children would have a steady diet of ice cream, school holidays, and no Sunday school." (paragraph 5)

OK o for the first one it's pretty obvious that school plays a big role in the development of children, so something that kids do fir the same mount of time as school each day shows the influence.

And the second one shows what would happen if we all lived like TV and what would happen to the kids if we did.
