The Priests were very powerful. They were in charge of making sure everyone behaved in a way that would make the gods happy. They were the docters of the time , If you were sick, you called for a Priest. The priests were also the highest in the social classes. The priests had no free time. If you wanted to move in the social classes you would have to be a scribe or a priest. The slaves were the people who worked for the Priests. The Priests received everything while the other classes did not.

The upper class was the "rich". They had an expensive wardrobe and huge houses. They did not even think about working for themselves. They hired slaves and people from the lower class to do all of the work. They also had servants that made them food and did everything for them. The only people who were above the upper class was the priests.

The lower class was the "poor". They had to work very hard, although they had homes, they could barely afford anything. The Lower class did not have anything as fancy as the upper class. When the poor would wear jewelry, It was not gold. They tried to follow the style of clothing. Children have the ability to become a priest or a scribe, if they are a male and fulfill the requirements.

Slaves and prisoner were at the bottom of the social class. They had no rights, the law didn't even protect them! o if someone did something bad to the salves nothing would happen! Poor slaves. The slaves don't even get a proper education. They have no respect. If I was a slave owner I would only know them by their haircut, and also if I would be prisoner, as soon I would get out I would be a automatic slave.

The Women
The woman were the only ones that did not go to school. They were supposed to stay at home and take care of the family. They had no education and they was not that much woman on the upper class. They mostly just stayed inside and make food and clothing. If they were rich they just would pay maids and pay people to take care of their family while they go out with friend or just get their "beauty rest".
The Men
The men in Mesopotamia did most of the work the women did not do that much so all the work was up to the men. The Men had no free time they were doing their jobs and they had to keep their family together. As men they divided them up in social classes by how smart they were and how much education they had. For men if they were in the lower classes life and work was harder for them if they were in the higher classes there work was not nearly as hard.
