For today’s discussion, choose ONLY ONE of the following pieces to EXAMINE the relationship between the gods and the rulers of the ancient kingdoms of the Near East.
Read the inserts (The Piety of Gudea) and (Hammurabi’s Laws) as a starting point, and find additional examples of artworks, objects, sculpture or structures from other cultures of the era to support your example of the relationship between god and ruler and ruler to his people. Can you think of how this is the same or different than the perceived relationship between our leaders and role of religion in ruling in societies today.Make sure to let the readers know which piece you plan to discuss by either posting “Gudea” or Hammurabi” in the title.
I don’t want the assignment as an essay format but as a discussion format and I will attach additional information. Please Use simple words in writing.
Important!**Please note the instructions below and in the syllabus about discussion forums role in this class and on your overall grade. The discussion forum grading rubric is also available in the “information” tab. Review the rubric for the specific grading breakdown. In short, you will be graded on thoughtfulness, analysis, accuracy, creativity, and coherence of your first response. Feel free to cite other sources to support the argument you are making. For every thread, you are expected to contribute at least two times. The initial response (to the question that I have posted) will count the most towards your grade but I will look for evidence of areas that are weak in the first in your secondary responses (responses to peer comments).
You will receive specific comments and a grade for the discussion forum in the online gradebook.
Finally, you will not receive any credit for answers that have been partially or entirely plagiarized from another source. I encourage you to bring in additional sources but always make sure to cite where that information is coming from. You do not need to cite the textbook but do make sure to put the answers into your own words.
