History of Iraq

Career Coach – Autobiography – GEB 3035 Sadok Hasan 1. Family Background. I was born in Baghdad, Iraq to a humble family of 5 – in the heart of the second Gulf War. I spent only my infant years there as my family struggled to get by. My dad had his own computer business while my mom stayed home to take care of the kids. I think inevitably my parents wanted to leave their home country with their kids one day, but it was made apparent when Saddam Hussein’s army stole my father from our house and…

Some of the most prevalent issues of current society come from the constant threat of terrorism. Until more recently though, the word terrorism did not command the same respect that it does today. Before the attacks of September 11th, 2001, the Congress’s various intelligence committees barely ever held meetings to discuss the topic (Miller). However, after the attacks, the threat of terrorism appeared in many situations. This threat did not just intimidate the government though. Afraid to…

When viewed from the lens of revolutionary movements, the superhero film Black Panther resembles the current Syrian civil war that originated from the uprising in 2011. The characters in the movie tie into the actors in Syria, like the government and the rebels, as well as Iran and Russia’s involvement. In the movie, T’Challa became the king of Wakanda after his father T’Chaka died. The first challenge that T’Challa faces is from the Jabari Tribe Leader named M’Baku. As T’Challa must defend his…

Defeating Daesh A crucial point that needs to be mentioned is defeating the Daesh. Most of the world admits the group has to be destroyed. However what the international community has not agreed on is the means that would lead to its dissolving. The military actions conducted by both USA or Russia-lead coalition haven´t yet proved successful. Pressured, Daesh grows and the involvement of the West might be its intention to attract new recruits.1 That is why even with this terrorist group we…

Santiago Colorado Composition 10 Bolivar June 7, 2016 A War With No End Colombia is a country of beauty that captures the hearts of its inhabitants and of tourists. The friendly people, breathtaking landscapes, delicious food and gorgeous women are many things that make this country such a good place.

As an Iraqi national and an American citizen, I possess a unique perspective when contrasting the two countries. Growing up in Iraq I experienced and witnessed different forms of oppression and injustice. At the age of four, my childhood was stipped from me. My father was threatened, my neighbor was kidnapped and killed, and a missile hit my elementary school during class periods. Life in America might not be perfect, but I’m grateful and thankful to be living in such a wonderful country.…

My argument is that ISIS is an issue that needs to be addressed and taken care of. My goal is for my audience, Chattanoogans, to see the billboard and petition for action to be taken against ISIS affiliates, and thus, ISIS inspired attacks. Because ISIS is such an imposing force worldwide, they are causing claimed direct attacks as well inspired attacks (those not enacted by ISIS but rather those who support the group). Therefore, I chose the word “affiliates” in my text to recognize that…

The least convincing between the two arguments was the article written by famous ex-basketball player, Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Although his argument was well stated, it only offered a limited view on the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attacks by Muslim Radicals. Jabbar spoke out as a Muslim-American and condemned the actions taken by “Muslims” in Paris, France. Jabbar later went into depth about how the American people lived through a similar phase, back when the Ku Klux Klan roamed American soil. He used…

Before Rabin's assassination, it didn't seem as if Shin Bet had an understanding of how to fight terrorism. As an organization, Shin Bet was intimidating as hell. They used torture tactics, like shaking and solitary confinement, terror attacks (Bus 300), and kept their prisoners in truly, hellish facilities. You can draw similarities to how the U.S. responded in the aftermath of 9/11: the initial national shock and how it changed the way the U.S. government strategized national security.…
