The Epic of the Online Class

The Epic of Gilgamesh and The Code of Hammurabi provide valuable insight into the earliest communication of man. They provide a sense of governing, something society naturally strives for. They provide an irreplaceable glimpse of things such as grammar patterns, social concerns during that time, and appropriate means with which to deal with situations.

Gilgamesh and the ruler called Hammurabi provide leadership to the tenants of their land, as well as a sense of rules and laws. These strict means of regulation have further morphed into what our society knows as government or laws today. This, in turn, brings up the epic of the online class.

The sense of leadership, ruling, and regulation that has been evident since the early writings of The Epic of Gilgamesh and The Code of Hammurabi continues on through the online classroom. Regardless of what social class or setting one is participating in, there are social norms, which is also evident through the learning of an online classroom.
