The Army's Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) Culture Center characterizes culture as a "dynamic social framework," containing the qualities, convictions, practices, and standards of a particular gathering, association, society or other group that is found out, shared, and disguised by individuals from that society (Watson, 2010). Culture frames the premise of how individuals translate, comprehend, and react to everything around them. There are numerous meanings of culture utilized by the United States military. The all-encompassing shared characteristic is that culture is a common comprehension and conviction framework made by individuals from a specific culture or gathering in a general public (HQDA, 2014).

Working in a joint military environment means understanding what is and is not acceptable behavior. Our Nation’s challenge forces the military to interact and work with different foreign military is to understand the cultural or social system from the country they are operating. To achieve this, today’s soldiers must have and develop an understanding of cross-cultural competency and over time, master the skills to become more successful in these environments. According to the United States Army FM 3-24.2, Tactics in Counterinsurgency (extract), cross-cultural competences are “the set of systems of shared belief, values, customs, behaviors, and artifacts that members of a society use to cope with their world and one another” .

The Iraqi war has left major long-term damage. Oftentimes, in the wake of and the after effects from the war the psychological effects will go unnoticed (Behrouzan, 2013).

This short paper serves to relate various themes inclusive to cultural conflict in modern day Iraq between Sunni and Shiite Factions as well as the emerging threat of ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria). This analysis will show how ISIS is utilizing ongoing cultural strife between predominately Sunni (Western Iraq; Al-Anbar Province), Shiite (Eastern Iraq, and Kurdish (Northern Iraq; Mosul) to further destabilize certain regions and attempt to gain influence over segments of the population. Iraq 's borders, which were originally defined by British powers after World War I, have largely failed to account for the cultural differences in peoples between the country 's provinces. As ISIS becomes a more organized and prevalent force in the region, it can be argued that they are attempting to legitimize themselves as a culture with emerging borders in both Iraq and Syria. The legitimacy of ISIS as an emerging cultural group largely depends on their ability to influence the local population and gain support for their objectives. This paper will address how the existing Iraqi Central Government may be failing its obligation to protect the economic, social, and cultural rights of particular groups (namely in Kurdish and Sunni populated territories). Additionally, this paper will attempt to address several questions that may be indicators of whether ISIS has the ability to sustain itself over time. Firstly, is ISIS capitalizing on the centralized government 's perceived failures

A major focal point in the US Army’s education of field grade officers is the ability to understand the phenomenon of war, its relationship to society, and its ever-changing character. While the notion of strategic culture fails to be deterministic, there is no doubt that it plays an important role in both why and how a society wages war. For the strategist, the notion of strategic culture provides a critical input to the planning process by shedding light on the intent and future decisions of both state and individual actors; the value of an object and effort to expend in its pursuit; and the overall organization and employment of military force. The discussion begins by providing the theoretical foundations that led to the notion of strategic culture before turning to its practical use, and limitations.

I think it's an interesting topic that I've never really thought about. " Culture has a way of uniting us and also dividing us" I agree with you on that. For example, As a refugee living in Baghdad, Iraq for 17 years, I can tell you that culture clearly had united us as Iraqi people and at the same time separated us. For example, language, Arabic Language united us all as Iraqis; everyone had to know how to speak Arabic because it was the language for education in every part of Iraq. However, it also separated us from the Kurds who are part of Iraq but speak Kurdish. It created conflict, because the Kurds had to learn Arabic because it is the language of education. Culture united us as Iraqi people who shared the same body language, majority

In recent years, the Iraqi nation has endured a crisis that will forever remain in the hearts and minds of the Middle Eastern culture. However, the outcomes of the War on Iraq will not change the long-lasting and passionate traditions and memories that have been held in the country for decades.

Arab is not a race, but is a group of individuals that are united by their culture and history (ADC, 2014). There are many different variations commonly based on a particular individual’s country of origin such as Arab Americans. Other variations are based on their social class, the level of their education, if they live urbanely or rurally, or the time they have spent in the United States (Lipson & Dubble, 2007). Most Arabs also practice Islamic religion and are Muslim. When working with an Arab or Muslim client, nurses should ask what the client wishes to be referred to so as not to offend them in any way (Lipson & Dubble, 2007).

Culture makes a country or set of people who they are; culture defines a country.
