In this paper, the researcher tries to read the current Iraqi situation with much simplicity and depth, simplicity in presentation, and depth in research into the aspects that are neglected or not given attention, thinking that they are not important in order to explain the phenomenon and put forward some solutions, and present a number of proposals and recommendations that can contribute to identify the sources of threat to human security in Iraq, and to work seriously and truly to contain and overcome them in order to provide a safer and more peaceful environment for childhood in the country to reassure of the conditions of future generations. This paper focuses on the population and education that the researcher believes that the rapid and excessive increase in population leads to large gaps in education, and severe weakness in the functions of educational institutions, including the family, which loses the ability to perform those functions, which leads to high rates of illiteracy, school dropout, early employment, and juvenile delinquency. The continuous increase in population also leads to a series of complex problems and crises due to the conflict over resources, unemployment, and the resulting crime, in addition to the spread of drug abuse among young people who find it a last resort to escape the miserable reality in which they find themselves in light of the prevalence of a culture of financial and administrative corruption in most aspects of the state and society. So, we realize that the human security challenges facing Iraqi children at present and in the future are real and major challenges that we must take seriously before we lose complete control over confronting these challenges.

The New Development Goals Report 2021 and United Nations sources indicated the result of the Covid-19 injury, and that 101 children are below the level of reading proficiency, which may change the gains achieved over two decades in the field of education, which led to the research of a scientific problem as a research text "What is the great vision of the future of childhood in light of the repercussions of Covid-19, and the development goals (2016/2030)"; Research in describing the Corona virus 19 towards achieving comprehensive development goals, and commitment to comprehensive development goals in the field of childhood, and inductive models were used through a desk survey of the literature on the Covid-19 virus and its association with global development goals in the field of technology as a model, during the time period (2020 - 2021 AD). The research reached a set of results as starting points for the forward-looking vision for the future of childhood the repercussions of the Covid-19 & the Sustainable Development Goals. That the forward-looking vision for the future of childhood be launched in the repercussions of the Covid-19 and the Sustainable Development Goals. To focus on the goal of a forward-looking vision for the future of childhood. To beginning the vision for childhood on the literature and the theoretical framework and the presentation and analysis of the research heritage through {the rules that social workers (academics and practitioners) can rely on - indicators for developing the forward-looking vision

The supply of briquette water is sustainable when the water is of a quality and quantity that meets the needs of the city’s residents. To determine the quality of briquette water in the city of Hilla, the annual average of six chemical and physical characteristics of briquette water (pH, electrical conductivity, sulfates, dissolved solids, calcium, and total hardness) were compared. ) produced by water projects and complexes in the study area (the new Hilla project, the old Al-Tayara project, the Al-Tayara 1 and the Tayara 2), four of the properties had exceeded the permissible limit: electrical conductivity (1000 mg/L), sulfate (2500 mg/L). Dissolved solids (500 mg/L) and total hardness (500 mg/L). This is due to the high values of these characteristics in raw water, which comes from the Euphrates River, most of which are old projects and rely on traditional units that are not compatible with the development taking place in liquefaction water treatment techniques. As for the amount of water produced, from knowing the amount of water and the number of residents, it was found that there is a shortage of up to 207 liters/day per capita, as Iraqi standards set the per capita quota at 450 liters/day in city centers, and the product from projects is equal to 243 liters/day.

This study addressed the impact of climate, which included the elements (actual solar brightness, temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed) In water consumption and water Codified of eggplant crop in Babylon Governorate, and reliance was placed on the climatic data of the study area station, Al-Hillah station and my control stations are Baghdad and Karbala for a period of 30 years, and I use the (CROPWAT 8.0) program to calculate evapotranspiration using the Penman-Monteith equation developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization (F.A.O) ,The study showed that the month of May was one of the lowest months in terms of the rice crop’s requirement of consumption and water consumption due to the decrease in both temperatures and solar brightness compared to the rest of the growing season, while the rice crop required the largest amount. For consumption and water consumption in the month of July, while the study showed that the amount of consumption and water consumption decreases in September at the end of the growing season due to the full growth of the crop, which requires a small amount of water. Karbala station recorded the lowest amount for water consumption and this is because the end of the growing season is shorter in Karbala compared to other stations.

This paper examines The Belle of the Belfast City by Christina Reid through the lens of trauma theory as outlined by Judith Herman and Cathy Caruth. The play depicts the influence of the Troubles in Northern Ireland as a religious and sectarian conflict between Protestants and Catholics on women. Reid's work is mainly about the reunion of three generations of working-class Protestant women during the time of the Anglo-Irish agreement in 1985.The play's female characters face many obstacles, including racism, forced migration, religious persecution, economic struggle, social exclusion, and abuse. The study presents how religion is used as a tool to justify violence against women. Women become targets of verbal and physical abuse, violence, and discrimination based on religious identification. This study delves into the ways trauma impacts the lives and identities of the characters, shedding light on the crucial role of memory in their recovery. Moreover, the study examines use of symbols and songs to make the women's trauma experiences stronger. It shows both the visual and emotional parts of their lives and stresses the healing power of art and cultural expression.

The study aims to explore the meaninglessness of life in Jojo Moyes’ novel "Me Before You" the profound theme of the meaninglessness of life through the poignant and complex relationship between its two central characters, Louisa Clark and Will Traynor. The story delves into the existential questions surrounding the value of life, the consequences of personal choices, and the moral dilemmas associated with assisted suicide. Moyes skillfully weaves a narrative that underscores the importance of human connections, empathy, and the potential for personal growth even in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles. "Me Before You" ultimately challenges readers to reflect on the fragility of life, the role of love in finding purpose, and the moral dilemmas that arise when one’s autonomy clashes with societal norms.

Human trafficking is widely recognized as a major challenge of the 21st century. The United Nations (UN), as the primary deliberative, policy-making, and coordinating entity, plays a crucial role in defining the collective vision for effectively combating human trafficking. Consequently, the UN publishes reports on human trafficking to provide an in-depth analysis of trafficking trends, information on victims, and prosecutions related to this crime. Due to the sensitivity of this issue, vagueness is sometimes employed in these reports. Vagueness is a common phenomenon encompassing expressions inherently lacking in precision and utilized for various interactional and social purposes. This paper aims to semantically investigate and pragmatically analyze the use of vagueness in these reports. The study contributes to the fields of semantics and pragmatics by examining how vague expressions function in discourse, thereby enriching linguistic theory and its applications. To achieve this aim, the researchers have adopted Channell's (2000) seminal work on vagueness on the semantic level and Levinson's (2000) Neo-Gricean approach on the pragmatic level. Four UN reports on human trafficking are purposefully selected and analysed qualitatively. The paper has come to certain conclusions, among which all the types of vague expressions identified in Channel's (2000) taxonomy of vagueness have been found in UN reports on human trafficking. Vagueness is often used to omit less important information, avoid conveying incorrect information, and attract attention. Vagueness in the UN reports on human trafficking serves several functions, including vague language helps to establish effective communication through concise language, promoting interactive mutual understanding between the interlocutors.

Reading is one of foreign language receptive skills, that plays a great role in people lives. It is not a simple skill, it is related to understanding and comprehending the text. Many studies assert that EFL learners face difficulties in reading comprehension skill, so that teachers have to use the appropriate teaching strategies to improve this skill. Direct strategies are those strategies that require students to recover information and develop their reading skill because such strategies require the use of variety of tasks and strategies (memory, cognitive and compensation strategies). The present study aims at finding out the impact of direct strategies on M.A ESP university students achievement in reading comprehension. The following null hypothesis will be examined: there is no statistically significant difference between the achievement of students who are taught reading comprehension by direct strategies and those who are not. Two groups were chosen from M.A ESP students- History Department/ college of education for women/ university of Baghdad, during the academic year (2023-2024). One was chosen as the experimental group (Hadeeth Group), the other one was chosen to be the control group (Islamic Group). Both groups were pre and post tested. T-test for two independent samples is used, it is found that there is a statistically significant difference in the experimental group achievement than the control group because of direct strategies influence. At the end, conclusions based on the results of the study are presented.

Universities are not value-neutral educational zones but institutions for personality building and knowledge provision. This is especially true for teacher education colleges, where future teachers graduate. This study aims at investigating the extent to which teaching values is being incorporated into teaching EFL in colleges of Education and Basic Education at Salahaddin University. Besides, it tries to determine which value dimension is emphasized most by them. Finally, it attempts to uncover the challenges encountered when teaching values. This study adopts a mixed-method approach. A questionnaire will be used to obtain the quantitative data from 34 teachers, and the qualitative data will be collected from 8 teachers through an unstructured interview. The results revealed that Kurdish EFL teachers teach values in their classes, care about socializing students into appropriate behaviour, and exert an influence on them to internalize societal values and expectations. Their integration of teaching different values was almost identical, and teachers devoted equal time to teach values. Among the common challenges encountered by teachers when teaching values, they mentioned the controversial nature of the concept of ‘value’ itself and students’ disinclination to receive moral lessons.

English Language Teachers have a crucial role in the process of learning and teaching since high-quality teachers lead to excellent educational outcomes. However, it is not easy to prepare proficient teachers in English language who can use English accurately and fluently inside the classroom. Thus, there is a need for specifically tailored training courses to prepare English language teachers qualified linguistically to use the English language in their classes. This study aims to find out the effect of instructing teacher talk and classroom language on EFL student-teachers' linguistic performance. The sample of this experimental study consists of (60) students, divided into equal control and experimental groups from the fourth stage, Department of English Language, College of Education for Women, University of Baghdad. The study instrument is an observational checklist prepared by the researcher. After ensuring its validity and reliability, it has been used to assess the linguistic performance of the student-teachers during the practicum period. The results obtained by statistical treatment of data have shown that there is a significant difference between the two groups in favor of experimental group. The findings revealed that the student teachers who have instructed with the expressions of teacher talk, and classroom language have achieved a higher level of performance than that of the student teachers who have not instructed. Accordingly, several recommendations and suggestions for further studies have been set forward
