There are a number of different clubs, activities, teams, and programs at any given high school. Along with these groups comes stereotypes like “jocks are the popular kids who run the school and don’t have to work for anything”, “band kids are misfits who weren’t…

Building Codes Past & Present Building codes date back to 1758 B.C. when King Hammurabi of Babylon actually used chisel and stone to record a law that made it punishable by death to build an unsafe home.

This paper will explore the evolution of building codes past and…

Modern U.S Criminal law can trace its origins to a stone tablet known as the Code of Hammurabi which many scholars theorize to have been written in the year of 1790 B.C. by a King called Hammurabi who ruled Babylonia during the years of 1792-1750 B.C. The Code of Hammurabi is one of the major influences in which the U.S criminal justice system derives a great deal of legal concept and procedures. It is evident in making lying under oath into a crime, including written contracts, judges and…

always find something to say about, it is dress code. From the infamous leggings rule to what appears as rapidly growing tolerance for everyday attire, there is always an air of buzz and even mystery surrounding WCA’s dress policies. This confusion leaves students unaware of what some rules are and tempts many to swap out polos for t-shirts. Upon further research of the popular subject, it becomes apparent that Westminster's severe problem of dress code violations is ultimately the result of…

There are many negative and positive effects a school dress code can have. Dress codes are in place for a reason. A few dress codes are a little too strict. Others may be a little too loose. A friend of mine when we were in high school decided to get a nose ring nothing like the bull nose ring that goes in a big loop just something small that went on the side of the nose that looked like a tiny blue dot. She was then later speaking with our school principal about how she can’t be wearing that.…

Choosing to build a steel kit home provides you with a wonderful investment. When you build with steel framed systems, you have better energy efficiency, superior strength, a non-combustible material and less maintenance required.

For example, in many cases you can get a pre-built shell that costs less than…

For my Argument Text Analysis, I choose the essay “Girls getting fed up with school dress codes that treat them as distractions” by Maureen Downey. This essay is about how girls are required to wear certain things to school for the reason that certain things are “distracting”. How girls are kept from their education since they are sent home for the things they wear. The writer is trying to persuade the reader that girls shouldn’t be required to wear certain things because the boys can’t control…

Hammurabi’s code of laws were seen differently thousands of years ago, opposed to how we see them today. Speaking in an 18th century BCE state of mind, I would say that the laws he established were just. I believe this because in the epilogue, Hammurabi says that as king it is his responsibility to protect his subjects and in my eyes, he does that by enforcing these laws, which makes them just. One of my reasons for believing that his laws were just can be found in Document C which pertains to…
