Answer:

The Sumerian city-states maintained most of their conflict among cities calling free men to battle when it was needed.

Explanation:

In order to protect the city-states from their rivals the Sumerians called upon every free men to battle. It is important to add that they did not have an standing army, therefore,  there was no permanent military to defend the people. Each city-state had its own God and when conflicts arose the high priest and the King called upon the free men to forge their own weapons for battle. While they did have a few trained soldiers the majority was the population. They distinguished the trained military with the use of copper helmets. Furthermore, some conflicts arose due to the water canal developed by them. Some believed to have more control over it than others and blocked it for the water not to flow to other communities this was solved by the creation of a wall around the city. Among the weapons forged by the Sumerian free men were:

  • Knives
  • Bows
  • Slingshots
  • Axes
  • Among others.

Finally, the Sumerians attributed the fate of a battle to their Gods rather than to its priest.

Question: <em>Identify what the problem is in these situations and how you can resolve it.</em>

Answer: For the first one; "The problem is someone is living in undesirable conditions and in an unhealthy area, and they are getting frustrated with it." and the solution, "Assuming they are a soldier, they need to find ways around all the pain from working." The second one would be; "The problem is the soldier's feet are incredibly messed up." and the solution, "The soldier could try creating a makeshift sock to wear with unused cloth, or try soaking their feet to ease the peeling." The third one; "The problem is the soldier has not received their pay and have debts to pay to others." and the solution, "He should understand that pay comes slow and he needs to either ask, or deal with it. For his other problem, he shouldn't be doing such risky things to have to end up dealing with debts." For the fourth one; "The problem is the soldier has found out that his brother is also going into battle from a letter." and the solution, "Be proud of him. His brother wants to do this and serve for his country, so if he dies, he'll die with honor." For the fifth one; "The problem is the soldier is unable to figure out the whereabouts of his family." and the solution, "He needs to ask someone politely and calmly, you will be more stressed if you aren't calm and it'll be harder to be polite to someone under pressure." And for the final one; "The problem is the soldier has captured an enemy and is now contemplating his punishment." and to answer it, "It comes down to two things, moral and understanding. To kill someone would be wrong, especially if you don't know their background. They could be fighting for their family, or to gain money, or honor. But you have to understand that they could turn on you, or convert others if they stay alive, and could even risk putting you in danger."
