The Iraqi Society

This is the Iraqi flag. 

In the Iraqi society everyone treats everyone with respect and the young people show great respect to their elders. The main religion in Iraq is Muslim, there is about 60 - 65% Shia Muslims and about 32 - 37% Sunni Muslim. There are some Christians in Iraq still today but there is not many because most of the Christian population left to go to Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan.  The country is mostly made up of Arabic and Kurdish people.  There are two official languages of Iraq, Arabic and Kurdish. In the country of Iraq there is 31,858,481 people. The amount of years spent in school varies for the young men and women, for young men it is about 11 years and for young women it is about 8 years. More than half of the Iraqi population lives in the urban area of Iraq. The capital of the country is Baghdad along with other major cities known as Mosul and Erbil. The people of Iraq believe that their country can survive but the rest of the world is not so sure that the people and the leaders can keep the country together and make it work.
