ALADDIN AL-ARAJI<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We have failed miserably to invest in creative human capital<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHuman development is the development of the people\u2026for the people, by the people.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was confirmed by the 2002 Arab Human Development Report, issued by the United Nations Development Programme. We support him in that, as we note that the progress of nations is measured historically, and especially today, by the progress of their children. Man is the greatest capital for any nation. All international economic and financial institutions have confirmed that the decisive factor in progress is the heavy investment in people, or what is called building human capital, or the provision of appropriate human resources, in sufficient quantity and high quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second place come the natural resources, such as water and land, its apparent fruits, and its hidden wealth, with evidence that all these resources will be idle or idle, if the educated and enlightened person, with his creative abilities, is not able to use them and transform them into necessary or useful commodities and services that contribute to the development process. , or work to accelerate it in that community or other societies. And a second evidence that must be recognized is that the Arab nation, for example, possesses enormous wealth of natural resources that have been dormant for thousands of years, but have not been discovered or exploited, that is, they have been idle. Then it was discovered and invested, not by us, but by the \u201cother\u201d, who, through his enlightened and knowledgeable human capabilities first, and through those cheap oil wealth of Arab countries, second, detonated his second industrial revolution and his first information revolution, without the Arabs having any role in it. ; Rather, the Arab countries remained at the back of the countries of the world, despite all this, according to the United Nations Human Development Reports. Which remained:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like a camel in a desert, thirst kills it,
and water carries it over its back<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A third evidence is that developed nations, such as South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand, which were called the countries of the Asian tigers, were most of them more backward than the Arab countries in the middle of the last century, and they also lack almost most of the natural resources, especially energy sources. Despite this, it was able, thanks to investment in human capital, especially by developing the capabilities of a new generation of its children, who underwent intensive and advanced education. It was able to build an advanced modern industry, and even became competitive with the most advanced Western countries. Singapore, for example, does not possess any natural resources. However, the results of comparative studies indicate that within a period not exceeding three decades, the growth rate of total factor productivity has become the highest in the world, followed by Thailand and then Malaysia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Man makes civilization, so it rewards him<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, at a time when a person makes civilization through development, he himself constitutes its ultimate goal, because it achieves for him the luxury of living and a decent life, and thus raises the level of his civilized society among nations, so that he has a position to be trusted. It also happened to Japan and India, which became candidates to enter the Security Council as permanent members. It also protects it from the challenges of the “greater” other, who exploits the weak and respects the strong. We still live in the world of the old jungle in which the strong eat the weak, perhaps more than ever before; Because the strength of the strong has multiplied millions of times over the past, as a result of economic progress, the development of media and communication, the acceleration of the tremendous development in weapon technology, and the advancement of rapid and decisive means of genocide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, a close and deep dialectical relationship, mutual and intertwined, is established in the Arab world between these three elements: human being, education, development, and thus civilization and progress. Only with the weapons of science and knowledge, but with overwhelming military force, which he threatens us with, and even uses, directly (Israel, for example, raided several times on a number of Arab countries, and achieved its aggressive goals, without any resistance or deterrence), or indirectly (if that was The raids are messages to other Arab countries that your fate will be similar, so be polite!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Arab world is one of the most backward countries**<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contrary to what the Asian tiger countries have achieved, the exact opposite has happened in the Arab world. At a time when the Arab nation enjoys natural resources such as vast lands and abundant waters in the north, great oil treasures, and enormous human resources, in almost all its parts, it itself has failed miserably in the development process, as evidenced by what was announced by the reports of the United Nations Development Program that It has proven that it has become one of the most backward regions in the world, even compared to other developing or poor countries that are deprived of any of the natural resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did that happen? Because we fell short in many things, for example: we did not take the cornerstone of science and technology from the beginning, and because we did not create a solid educational base for our children, and we clung to the husks of our heritage and left its origins that call for taking wisdom from whatever vessel it came out of. And all because we have succumbed to our backward societal mind which took shape especially during the dark period. We have also succumbed to its illegitimate offspring: our passive mind, which represents the backward societal mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, there is another important external catalyst that has led to our failure to embrace science and knowledge. And by it, I mean Israel’s liquidation of all minds that could contribute to the renaissance of this nation. Israel took advantage of the breakdown in security after the fall of Baghdad in 2003, and it liquidated an estimated 720 Iraqi scientists, according to some reports. Therefore, the Iraqi government must demand the blood of these scholars in all international forums, including the United Nations and UNESCO, and protect the new generation of them and provide the necessary conditions. for their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
