The Iraqi War

In 1969, my mother’s family fled Iraq for the United States in hopes of establishing a stable, opportunistic lifestyle. However, their refuge to the land of opportunity was not without adversity. Saddam Hussein’s rise to power was arguably the best and worst event that happened to the Chaldeans. Before Saddam, Iraq was led by nationalists who were not fond of Christians and their beliefs. However, Saddam’s prime minister, Tariq Aziz, was Chaldean and allowed Christians to practice their religion without feeling oppressed as a minority in a majority Muslim country. Still, the majority of their liberties were still restricted, and their obedience to Saddam and his Ba’ath Party regime was mandatory. In 1990, after ordering brutal chemical attacks

Mainstream media has extensively covered the war called Operation Iraq Freedom where thousands of our armed forces were killed leaving millions without their mother and father. It has been said that this was a senseless way that should have never begun; in the same manner, it is a war that many feel was needed and very necessary. The purpose of my extended is to uncover the facts of this topic that has been considered off limits and inappropriate especially in the mainstream media. In efforts to uncover the facts, there are many questions that must be answered; however, in making the attempt to answer any question, the questions leads into millions of other unanswered questions. For instance, is this war between Afghanistan and the United

The land of two rivers, Iraq, has a fascinating culture that has been misinterpreted by the present turmoil. According to Elizabeth Pietanza, “Iraq has many different names associated with it including the land of two rivers, Mesopotamia, the Fertile Crescent named because of the two rivers that flow through Iraq including the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. It is termed the Fertile Crescent because of the ample amount of agriculture that takes place around the rivers” (Pietanza 2001:1078). Iraq has been divided amongst many types of people including Armenian, Kurdish, Sunni, Shia, and Chaldean, but each possess a sense of nationality and love for the country they were born in. The very country that is seen on the news as being fragmented, is actually intertwined by the common language of Standard Modern Arabic and how there are different group of people who speak different languages, the kind hearted gestures, and gender equality for females.

This short paper serves to relate various themes inclusive to cultural conflict in modern day Iraq between Sunni and Shiite Factions as well as the emerging threat of ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria). This analysis will show how ISIS is utilizing ongoing cultural strife between predominately Sunni (Western Iraq; Al-Anbar Province), Shiite (Eastern Iraq, and Kurdish (Northern Iraq; Mosul) to further destabilize certain regions and attempt to gain influence over segments of the population. Iraq 's borders, which were originally defined by British powers after World War I, have largely failed to account for the cultural differences in peoples between the country 's provinces. As ISIS becomes a more organized and prevalent force in the region, it can be argued that they are attempting to legitimize themselves as a culture with emerging borders in both Iraq and Syria. The legitimacy of ISIS as an emerging cultural group largely depends on their ability to influence the local population and gain support for their objectives. This paper will address how the existing Iraqi Central Government may be failing its obligation to protect the economic, social, and cultural rights of particular groups (namely in Kurdish and Sunni populated territories). Additionally, this paper will attempt to address several questions that may be indicators of whether ISIS has the ability to sustain itself over time. Firstly, is ISIS capitalizing on the centralized government 's perceived failures

Islam has been Iraq's dominant religion for centuries. The religion plays an important part in every aspect of Iraq's society, to include its government. A democracy gives freedom to a nation's people, embracing the many characteristics of

Developmental problems occur when certain milestones are not meet. Milestones are determined by age. For example, a baby usually starts walking between nine months and fifteen months. If a child does not reach a milestone by a certain age then baby may have a developmental problem. The development of motor skills, cognitive skills and social skills are three areas parent can observe in order to determine if their child has a developmental problem.

The war in Iraq was a very controversial and - often times disapproved of - war. It is seen as counterproductive- only bringing forth horrors for those involved in it. In light of the evidence provided, it is certainly apparent that Canada was perfectly justified in its decision not to enter the war in Iraq. By abstaining from the war, Canada was able to save countless lives, did not have to deal with implications at home due to war and was able to maintain the well being of Canadians back home.

On September 11, 2001, militant Islamic fundamentalist terrorists hijacked commercial airliners and flew them into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, killing nearly 3,000 people. Immediately, U.S. intelligence agencies stepped up investigations into Iraq’s possible connection to the terrorist organization al-Qaida, which claimed responsibility for the attacks.

Iraq’s constitutional guarantee of religious freedom has done little to control sectarian violence, with the government and military lacking the capacity to hinder attacks by religious insurgents. In Iraq, Islam is the state-religion in which no legislation may contradict its tenets, however, the Iraqi Constitution grants religious tolerance and the right to freedom of belief to all citizens. Yet, while these freedoms exist in theory, they have been difficult to exercise in practise (Langely, 2013). It is obvious that the religion-state relationship in Iraq is inconsistent with Iraq’s declaration of religious freedom and democracy in its constitution.

The road to democracy in Iraq is a long, hard-fought journey. To understand why and how this journey is so difficult, we must look at Iraq from the beginning. We must look at the beliefs and background of Iraq to understand the country’s mindset as well as what they are doing to change how they are seen throughout the world. Iraq has been a country fraught with turmoil from within. From quarrels between feuding religious groups to dictators with an agenda of power, Iraq’s journey toward democracy has not been easy. By learning from past mistakes, Iraq is well on the way to building a democratic state that will illuminate the way for other countries in the Middle East to follow suit.

The event that took place in my life was being diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome. Since I have been diagnosed I have felt so out of place until I came into touch the the Lord. Having Marfan was always hard to deal with because no one would ever accept me and I could not go out and get just any job due to my health problems. I believe Colorado Christian University will be the best for me because they will help me strengthen my Christian relationship. One other experience was growing up poor and having to struggle throughout my entire life. I believe getting an education will help me have a career I love. I will put all my time into my work at CCU. I strongly believe CCU will help me gain confidence in my ability to go out and become my own person,

Iraq a nation in the early 20th century had been fatigued by more than four centuries of deliberate Ottoman neglect and marginalization. The end of the Ottoman Empire brought about a colonial presence in the Middle East by the allied powers of Britain and France. The Sykes-Picot agreement divided Arab lands between the British and the French, however, between 1918 and 1920 Iraqi nationalism revolted against the British. The revolt against the British imperial presence prompted a formation of citizenship, which relied prominently on material facts: shared, common history and land between the Jews, Christians, Shiite’s and Sunni’s. Furthermore, this research paper will be looking at post-invasion of Iraq and the elements of disaster that

The American Justice System has been using the death penalty, also known as capital punishment, as a way to serve a prisoner's sentence usually due to the crime of murder. The death penalty in the American Justice System has been used for many years now. Although in 18 states the death penalty has already been abolished, there are still 32 states where it is still legal. The death penalty should not be legal in the American Justice System, because it is immoral, unjust, and ineffective.

In this essay I will study the Country and Culture of Iraq. I will first start with the physical imports of the area: the geographical location, terrain and climate. Then I will cover the people who make up this country: the language they speak, their ethnicities, religions, cultural norms, and their
