In 5-6 double spaced pages (APA format), discuss the following:

In Mesopotamia, Egypt and India we see examples of the earliest formulations of law aimed at establishing and reinforcing social order. Choose a few elements of comparison and contrast from the Babylonian Code of Hammurabi, Hebrew Law of Moses, Egyptian Declarations of Maat, and the Hindu Laws of Manu.

How do these compare to the virtue ethics of Plato, Aristotle, and Confucius?

Include in your answer consideration of the source of ethics, the nature and place of the individual in society and the overall shape of social and cosmic order.

This paper should refer to references beyond Sayre for greater detail about the different law codes and ethical systems than what Sayre provides.
