Social Classes
There are many ways in which I can improve the social class structure in Mesopotamia. But there is only that one quote that should me the right adjustment to do. "Social classes are of noble character, not of noble birth." When I read this quote all I did was think about how right he was. If I were to change the social class structure I will put all the cocky and arrogant people at the bottom, and all the modest and noble people at the top. The center would consist of well...basically people who are between that are fifty fifty. This is the order i would choose because I know that the people who are modest and are noble, have ambitions to make the world a better place. As for the people at the bottom I will keep them there because all they would want to do is make the rich richer and the poor poorer. Don't get me wrong I am not saying that they are bad people, I am saying that they are not taking the right path. I will try to have at least one leader in each class to help make it a better class. I will make sure that we have a middle class. Having a middle class is important because it basically shows that the city is well balanced. Now when I say this I still mean it is all about noble character. I would try to decrease the population of the "poor" by educating them. Like Confucius said:" Education is the meaning of life." Lastly i would try to increase the populations noble character. By changing the way the rulers think. Ill do that by showing them what is really happening not what their advisers are telling them.
Public Works
To improve the public works in Mesopotamia I would have four wells in each neighborhood instead of having canals stretching across the city. The second improvement I would make would be to make the sewage system better by covering the pipes better because I don’t think I would want my city to have hygienic issues. The third improvement I would make would be to build small barriers around the roads to prevent accidents from happening in the city. The fourth improvement I would make would be to have two ware houses in each neighborhood instead of having it in one place where it would be very “hectic” and difficult to help everyone. This ware house will also provide food for the poor who need it. Not the rich who don’t want to spend money. The last improvement I would make would be to make the walls around the city stronger and better built. I would try to make them in destructible.
