The Epic of Gilgamesh and The Code of Hammurabi are both ancient writings from Mesopotamia. The Epic of Gilgamesh is a story about a king, Gilgamesh while The Code of Hammurabi is written law. Both ancient texts have the culture of the era, religion, moral standards, and social expectations.
The Epic of Gilgamesh is told through a story. In the course of the story Gilgamesh learns several life lessons about how one should behave. He is punished by the gods and learns to appreciate his people. The Code of Hammurabi is a list of laws, a boast about a king and a text to instill fear from the gods. Both texts are written for social conduct.
In an online classroom culture and social expectations are also present; there are rules of conduct. Most people learn the rules of online communication through trial and error. Now, there are several written texts on what is expected in online communication, what is deemed inappropriate and what is acceptable.
