Karma was made up of all the good and evil that a person had done in
past lives. If people lived good lives, they might be born into a higher
social class in their next life. If they lived badly, they could expect to be
reborn into a lower class. They might even be reborn as animals.
For Hindus, the law of karma meant that the universe was just, or fair.
Souls were rewarded or punished for the good and evil they had done.
Karma was also used to explain why people had a certain status in
society. You may recall that in the caste system, people could not escape
the social class of their birth. According to karma, this judgment was fair,
because it was thought that people’s social class reflected what they had
done in their past lives.
• According to the text why was the caste system fair?

Hammurabi was an ancient Babylonian king. He did
something that no one had ever done before. The Sumerians
had created the first written cuneiform. Using this written
language, Hammurabi created the first written set of laws. In
Hammurabi's court, it did not matter if you were rich or poor. If
you broke the law, and were found guilty, you would be
punished. Since the laws were clearly written down, everyone
was expected to obey them.

Egyptian society was structured like a pyramid. At the top were the gods, such
as Ra, Osiris, and Isis. Egyptians believed that the gods controlled the universe.
Therefore, it was important to keep them happy. They could make the Nile
overflow, cause famine, or even bring death.
The Egyptians also elevated some human beings to gods. Their leaders, called
pharaohs, were believed to be gods in human form. They had absolute power over
their subjects. After pharaohs died, huge stone pyramids were built as their tombs.
Pharaohs were buried in chambers within the pyramids.
Because the people of Egypt believed that their pharaohs were gods, they
entrusted their rulers with many responsibilities. Protection was at the top of the
list. The pharaoh directed the army in case of a foreign threat or an internal
conflict. All laws were enacted at the discretion of the pharaoh. Each farmer paid
taxes in the form of grain, which were stored in the pharaoh's warehouses. This
grain was used to feed the people in the event of a famine.
