An Eye for an Eye? (1)

This course is a semester long and will be offered in both semester 1 and 2. 

The Big Question:  How does our society keep control of its people? 

An Eye for an Eye class takes you on a journey to discover how laws were created, as a need to control populations of people, and prevent crime.  We will start about 6,000 years ago in Mesopotamia, and make our way across the world to finally land in Aotearoa-New Zealand.  We will look at how pre-European Maori governed people and the later impact of European laws, particularly laws associated with land ownership
