Iraq



Primary Document: [|Weekly Address: President Obama: As the Combat Mission in Iraq Ends, We Must Pay Tribute to Those Who Have Served] This document presents the positive idea on the war in Iraq. This is the positive side because it discusses the United states leaving Iraq. This is a big step because the Iraqi people are trying to provide a safe environment, even without the United States. This is a positive global interaction because even though the United States went to war because of a terrorist attack, the help that we have given them has instilled trust into the Untied States because of all the help given. The war involves government because they have sent the troops over and they are taking them away. Also our government has tried to help establish a government for them. The war is also social because the United States seem to have left a positive impact recently on the Iraqi people.

Primary Document: [|Marriage of U.S. Citizens in Iraq] This article contains information about marriages in both Iraq and in the Untied States. It involves both because it talks about how people may or may not be married in Iraq, and then it discusses how the marriages in Iraq can be transfered to the United States. This is global interdependence because it brings the country together by immigration methods. Immigration is a positive thing because it means that people are either comfortable with our country just as much as theirs or they feel that the United States is safer. This then creates and government and social aspect of global interdependence. Social because the people are coming together and government because of the legalization of the family or person in the country (Immigration process).

Artifact 1: This artifact is relevant to the social aspect of global interdependence because people from Iraq have to become United States Citizens or have a passport in order to be in the United States. Iraqi people must be a United States citizen to live here permanately and have the Untied States government recognize marriages. United States citizens would have to do the same thing in order to live in Iraq. They would have to go to the immigration center and become approved. This could take years whether your going to Iraq, or coming to the United States.

Artifact 2: This video presents a negative way that the United States interacted wtih Iraq, which is that people are saying that the United States went to war because of the oil in Iraq. Although this may not be true, it could hurt the United States reputation for future global interactions. If Iraq and other countries find out about this, countries may stop trading with the United States or they may sell their goods for a higher price. This video is a negative response about Iraq and the United States interaction with oil. [|Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich: "Privatizing Iraq's Oil is Theft!"]

Artifact 3: This flag stood ni IRaq and although it is burned on the edges, it shows that the United States is fighting for the good people in Iraq and standing up agianst the bad people. This is positive because the United States clearly had to be in a fight or battle when this happened to the flag, and even though the flag is burnbed, it still stands strong, as the American soliders stand strong protecting and rebuilding Iraq.
