Iraq the Deep Prints That Term Paper

The customs of the Iraq population are however, a complex mixture of Middle East elements along with Arab features. This mixture is what makes the complexity of this state and the thing that brings Iraq a very unique image. We may say at some extent that Iraq is an important Middle East state whose customs were somehow completed by Arab traditions. This way we can also answer the notorious question that enquires about whether the new customs of Iraq are indeed Arab in their thoroughness. (Tripp, 2002).

Iraq was indeed a very culture full state, famous for its customs and traditions. People used to be very preoccupied about these traditions and they were living their lives around their typical system of organization and government. We must specify that these systems which they used to lead their lives by were also unique blends of Arab ad Middle East features and they were the elements that used to give a local color to the state of Iraq in its whole. (Roux, 1993).

Before 2003, when the war was started in Iraq, these ways of organization and of having their lives coordinated were some pretty well established standards that used to make it very easy for the population of Iraq to live their lives. However, all these mixed rules and state regulations from before the cruel war were also some great mixtures of Arabic elements and Middle East ones. (Tripp, 2002).

So at the question of whether the Middle East was influenced by the Arabic culture we may answer by a positive "yes." The influences are obvious especially in the case of the pre-war state of Iraq.

The Arabic influences that have put a sharp trace upon the state of Iraq have left behind a great number of customs, Arabic traditions and even the Arabic etymology.Scholars consider Iraq as a unique cradle of civilization in the Middle East. The region containing the two famous rivers of Tigris and Euphrates is considered as the very birthplace of numerous cultural expressions and writing is one of them.

Along history, Iraq was greatly influenced by the Arabic culture and civilization, fact which can be easily seen in the culture patterns and in the structures of the society as they were created and changed in time. (Hourani, 1997).

These traditional marks have been greatly affected by the problems if Iraq from the past years. The British and American invasion from 2003 has represented the most important factor of change for the Arabian traditions from Iraq. This factor has greatly changed some of the basic elements of culture and civilization from Iraq. People's attention has been attracted away from the cultural preoccupations and traditional Middle East customs, as the Iraq population has encountered a really difficult period in which people's main preoccupation was to survive rather than to defend their national cultural values.

As a conclusion, the very obvious print let by the Middle East upon the civilization of Iraq was indeed changed during the past tumultuous years that Iraq was put through and even if this has modified people's preoccupations and life styles, it has not yet destroyed the deep traditions of the region from between Tigris and Euphrates.
