Using new media is one of the most important cultural issues in everyday life. The expansion and prevalence of instant and continuous communication has rapidly affected various fields of daily life. The permanent presence of virtual technologies in academic environments can hardly be denied. Meanwhile, the university has also lost its previous nature and meaning. This has especially caused a change in the function of universities in relation to the society and other social entities. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the relationship between classroom virtualization and university culture during Covid-19 Situation. The study has a quantitative paradigm and its research method is a survey. The population of the research consists of 385 students of the state universities of Tehran in three categories of face-to face, semi online and online university courses. Cluster Random Sampling and Probabilistic Sampling in proportion to the number of population have been used. The research model was tested using Lisrel software. The results show that the process of virtualization has an influence on the communication as an intermediate variable and it thus has a significant effect on the university culture and its dimensions such as lifestyle, organizational culture, etc. In other words, communication is an intermediary that mediates between virtualization and dimensions of university culture. It can be concluded from the findings that the process of virtualization has created a fundamental change in human interactions and communication and this transformation in human interactions has also spread to other aspects of university life and culture.

Lifestyle can be constructed in different people, cultures and societies because it is based on the lived experience and social, cultural and economic conditions of the individual members of the society. Generation Y, which in Iran is equal to the beginning of the sixties to the beginning of the eighties, is influenced by the conditions of society in those two decades and has a different lifestyle from the generation before and after it. So now the question is raised, what is the meaning of the life style of women of the generation in Tehran? The method of this data theory is the foundation. The data required for this research is the result of a semi-structured interview with 21 young women living in Tehran who were part of the “Y” generation. The method of selecting the participants is purposeful and available and determining their number upon reaching the saturation stage has been specified. The findings of this research three central phenomenon "preferred individualism" and "economic independence" and" Selective cultural style"were chosen as central phenomena and the selective phenomenon of "generational expectations" was chosen as the main paradigm. One of the causes of this phenomenon is the modern attitude and the dominance of virtual discourse and Relative acceptance of structures, which results in the creation of a semi-traditional lifestyle and achieving the desired lifestyle. The women of the Y generation are different women from the previous generation. By making changes in the traditional lifestyle of the society, they have created a semi-traditional and semi-modern lifestyle. The most important characteristic of these women is their efforts to gain financial independence before marriage.

The aim of this study was to investigate the manifestations and consequences of party themes in celebrities' performance in "Iranian Dinner 2" as a celebrity-centered reality-based program in the field of lifestyle. Reality programs that claim to portray the realities of celebrities' lives arouse people's curiosity about it and help to spread the culture of celebrities in society. Our theoretical foundations were based on lifestyle theories and the method is a combination of qualitative and quantitative content analysis. Findings show that the selected themes are manifested by the host celebrity in the form of 13 main components: clothing, hairstyle and make-up, jewelry and ornamentation, objects, space / place / decoration, gifts, food and drink, topic of conversation, subject of show, entertainment, behavior, music, and audio ,video effects. The three themes of Qajar women, the sixties and Primary school children have emerged in the most components, and the two components of clothing and the topic of conversation have been influenced by the theme in most cases. Rather concrete or socio-culturally salient themes manifested in more components than abstract ones. The female celebrities showed more commitment and adherence to the themes. The consequences of themes include 1) creating entertainment and attractiveness (due to diversity and creating dramatic situations), 2) inducing consumerism, 3) advertising a certain type of lifestyle (promoting values related to the theme and promoting the concept of "theme" in Iranian gatherings), 4) introducing different cultures and subcultures, and 5) providing platform for everyday conversation among the audiences.

Lifestyle is a set of behavioral principles in different areas of life. In recent decades, in order to "apply" its concept in literary circles, the audience has encountered the positive and negative functions of lifestyle in fiction literature, and by studying mental and objective cases, his mind has been drawn to superior styles. The important point is to reread the warriors' lifestyles in the fictional literature of the Holy Defense. this rereading can reflect the cultural, military, social, and political identities of Iranian border guards to realize the idealism of "defending" the land and society's beliefs in individuals in order to preserve its precious achievements, especially in times of crisis. In fact, recognizing the source of the behavioral motivations of the defenders of the homeland reveals the capacities of Iranian thought and culture and the power of the "defense" strategy. The aim of the present study is to analyze the characteristics of lifestyle in the novels " Heedless Palm Trees " and "Roots in the Depths" with the discourse method of "Ernstolaclau" (Laclau, E). In this method, the connection of lifestyle components express how the jihadist identity of the fighters is created. Research findings show that the behavioral causes of the characters are based on adherence to the principles of religious beliefs and national zeal, which has also led to the achievement of independence and security of the country.

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the sociology of traditional and modern consumer lifestyle and some of its individual and social factors among Kerman citizens. This descriptive-correlational study was conducted in Kerman in autumn 2016. The statistical population consisted of all citizens of Kerman over 18 years of age. 400 of them were selected and studied by multistage cluster sampling. Data gathering tool was a researcher-made questionnaire on consumer lifestyle based on four components of leisure, body management, nutrition and shopping patterns in both traditional and modern dimensions. The results showed that respondents have a more traditional consumption lifestyle. Respondents had a more traditional style in subjects such as leisure, body management, nutrition, and shopping patterns, all four components of the consumer lifestyle. Traditional lifestyle shows a significant difference in terms of gender, age, marital status, and residential neighborhood. In addition, modern lifestyle showed a significant difference in age and marital status, but gender and residential neighborhood did not differ significantly from modern lifestyle. Also, there is a significant difference in consumption pattern in both traditional and modern dimensions in terms of socioeconomic status. In today’s context, the role of traditional institutions such as family and religion in socializing individuals is declining and some kind of cultural disruption is prevalent in society; in this context, individuals, especially young people, build a modern and distinct identity for themselves, influenced by modernity and consumer culture.

This Article is the summary of a research which has studied the lifestyle and the behavior patterns in the best selling movies. He meaning of lifestyle is a very new and novelty concept and it is about half of a century which this concept is discussed. The lifestyle concept is a part of new world and modernity. As David Cheney said in modern society people use lifestyle concept to explain their reactions. People shape their tastes and values by using media. In the other hand values, relations and behavior of people have changed in the format of modernity and tradition, although these two issues have become very crucial and challengeable issues in this century. Therefore in this research we study categorize lifestyle in two main meaning: traditional lifestyle and modernity lifestyle, as well as we categorized behavior patterns in two categories: material and cultural behavior patterns. Cinema industry due to best selling movies and lots of viewers has become one of the most reliable evidence for studying the lifestyle of viewers and film makers. Best selling movies with many viewers can show the values and attitudes of society ofIranso it can indicate the behavior of people by looking at their choice as well as their pattern of consumption. By looking at the results of this research we can indicate that traditional lifestyle and cultural behavior pattern are seen more in the movies than the modernity lifestyle and material behavior pattern.
