IDS 2020 CULTURE, HISTORY AND ART OF IRAQ
During the last decade, the United States was involved in war with Iraq. Many Americans and especially the young know very little about this country and why the government decided to send the troops there. Most of what they know comes from the media, just bits and pieces here and there about what really happened in that country. But after the war was over and the troops came home, in order to have a future understanding of what happened and why, we need to know more about that country, about the other side's ways of thinking and believing. By showing the history, culture, and mentality of Iraqis, this course will help students in a "neutral way" to know more about Iraq and the war that took place in that part of the world.
