Making Punishments

Today in western civ we got a worksheet on making punishments for things in hammurabis code. For example we had to decide what should happen to someone who robs a house. I said they should get their posessions taken but they would be put to death. That shows how harsh Hammurabis code was; no one could do anything bad without getting some part of their body chopped off or death. i think in some cases it's unfair but in others like an eye for an eye is fair. You shouldn't poke someones eye out anyway no matter how mad you are.
