Laws
So here we are, in the civilization years. You see, the only reason why we wanted these laws is because our rulers didn't have punishments for criminals. Have you ever heard of Hammurabi? Hammurabi was Babylon's ruler who made the first laws ever. Although his laws had very violent punishments, they still help us with who we are today. Gladly, his laws aren't used anywhere in the world. Code 195 of his laws said "If a man strikes his father his hands will be chopped or hewn off."
