Iraq’s strength is in its demographic diversity; but unfortunately, this advantage has turned into a weakness due to the emergence of nationalistic racism cases inside the Iraqi society because of the interference of politics in changing the cultural courses of the segments of society. Also, some see that the main victims of those who call for globalization, secularism, civil movement and civilian organizations are the Iraqi audience, especially the educated class. The access to the phenomena of logos without realizing the legal reality and the social education of such calls whose purpose is to display linguistic banners for political gain is abstracted from any practical or scientific means in the society.

 

In addition, an emphasis was put on the importance of focusing on the ignorance resulted from displaying the banners of civism without understanding their real content and practical tools in the Iraqi society and how confusing they are to the audience. In addition, the shortcoming includes the media and universities, as they live separate from promoting the civilian behavior and the legal intellect and behavior, and the compliance with the civilian law as an education and culture.

 

Conclusions:

 

·         The Iraqi society is ready to restore its cohesion; however, the problem is that the forthcoming elections war perhaps will not give it the chance to achieve this.

 

·         The transition of the International Bank’s interference into the emergence stage in the Iraqi economy indirectly through proposing remarks that hinder the approval of the Iraqi budget law for 2018.

 

·         Confusing and disrupting the Iraqi scene with various violent events that create a state of insecurity and instability among the society individuals before each electoral process.

 

·         The civil law and behaviors are not familiar to most of citizens, even the educated ones, in their daily life; however, they only recognize them in the court.

 

·         Neglecting the danger of the water crisis in Iraq through proposing it theoretically without developing planed solutions that are applicable on the ground.

 

Recommendations:

 

·         The society must be a positive motivator to politics and not subject to it. Therefore, the elites and the social leaderships must keep the societal brotherhood away from the political dealings.

 

·         Iraqi government and its economic leaderships must fundamentally work to draw a beneficial relation of Iraq with the International Bank, and the mark of this relation must be positive on the Iraqi economy rather than providing compromises to get loans.

 

·         The government must provide security to the Iraqi citizen. Therefore, an intelligence campaign must be launched to detect the bad bodies that are behind the violent events preceding the elections.

 

·         The civil society organizations and the law colleges must work to spread the civilian legal culture in the society that the Iraqi constitution is characterized by.

 

·         It is necessary and very urgent to work effectively to solve the water crisis in Iraq and refer to the international treaties that govern the shared rivers among states. In addition, effective and useful programs must be developed to manage water inside Iraq.
