Reading Comprehension
1) Islamic State of Iraq and Syria officially known as the Islamic State is a Salafi jihadist militant group that follows a fundamentalist, Salafi doctrine of Sunni Islam. ISIS gained global prominence in early 2014 when it drove Iraqi government forces out of key cities in Western Iraq, followed by its capture of Mosul. The group has been designated a terrorist organization by the United Nations. ISIS is widely known for its videos of beheadings and other types of executions of both soldiers and civilians, including journalists and aid workers, and its destruction of cultural heritage sites. The United Nations holds ISIS responsible for human rights abuses and war crimes. ISIS also committed ethnic cleansing on a historic and unprecedented scale in northern Iraq. In July 2017, the group lost control of its largest city, Mosul, to the Iraqi army. Following this major defeat, ISIS continued to lose territory to the various states and other military forces allied against it, until it controlled no meaningful territory by November 2017. U.S. military officials and simultaneous military analyses reported in December 2017 that the group retained a mere 2 percent of the territory they had previously held. On 10 December 2017, Iraq's Prime Minister said that Iraqi forces had driven the last remnants of the Islamic State from the country, three years after the militant group captured about a third of Iraq's territory.

5. Many people who have come close to death from drowning, cardiac arrest, or other causes have described near-death experiencesβprofound, subjective events that sometimes result in dramatic changes in values, beliefs, behavior, and attitudes toward life and death. These experiences often include a new clarity of thinking, a feeling of well-being, a sense of being out of the body, and visions of bright light or mystical encounters. Such experiences have been reported by an estimated 30 to 40 percent of hospital patients who were revived after coming close to death and about 5 percent of adult Americans in a nationwide poll. Near-death experiences have been explained as a response to a perceived threat of death (a psychological theory); as a result of biological states that accompany the process of dying (a physiological theory); and as a foretaste of an actual state of bliss after death (a transcendental theory). π»ππ πππππππ πππππππ ππ ππππ πππππππ ππ ππ?

8. Cyber violence is just as damaging to women as physical violence, according to a new U.N report, which warns women are growing even more vulnerable to cyber violence as more and more regions gain internet access. The report calls itself a βwake-up callβ about cyber violence as a systemic concern, especially as technology is spreading across more regions. Presented by U.N. Women and the U.N. Broadband Commission, the report estimates that 73% of women have endured cyber violence and that women are 27 times more as likely as men to be harassed online. In Europe, nine millions girls have already experienced some kind of cyber violence by the time theyβre 15. Anita Sarkeesian, a gamer and activist who has long agitated for more actions against cyber violence, spoke at the launch of the new report, titled βCyber Violence Against Women and Girls: A Worldwide Wake- Up Call.β The U.N. defines violence against women as βany act of gender-based violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts.β The report notes that cyber violence is an extension of that definition, that includes acts like spamming, and harassment. The report also argues that βcyber touch is recognized as equally as harmful as physical touch, βsuggesting that online harassment might be just as lethal as domestic violence or sexual abuse. 6. What is your stance on Cyber Violence? * (2 points)
