Taking into account the reduction of fertility concurrent with attitudinal changes, the present paper examines and predicts the reproductive behavior of women in Tehran province utilizing agent-based modeling with a cultural approach. To this end, a set of scenarios including attitude changes toward abortion, the importance of religiosity, and the impact of the media are taken into account. Simulations have been performed in AnyLogic software, based on the data obtained from the 2017 Iran Fertility Transition Survey (IFTS). The results predict that the total fertility rate of women in Tehran province in 1408 will reach 1.06. These figures are predicted to reach 1.07 and 1.03, respectively, when the increase and decrease in the importance of women's religiosity are considered. If the scenario of increasing and decreasing the positive attitude towards reduction of abortion is evaluated, the total fertility rate will reach 1.02 and 1.07, respectively. Raising awareness and persuasion for childbearing in mass media is predicted to increase total fertility rate slightly to 1.16. However, given the increasing level of literacy and awareness of the society and target population, there is a need for scientific evidence-based planning and media discourse to convince elite and educated women to increase their fertility. This important message should always be considered by policymakers and planners.

The research method is a combination of quantitative and qualitative, which has been done using Futuristic Research Method. This is a des[1]criptive and exploratory research with the approach of identifying uncertainties. In this regard, a total of 20 experts and specialists in the field of media, communications and online social networks, who were selected by the Snowballing method, took part in the in-depth interviews. In this study, the Delphi Method was used to identify the motives, using SPSS software, and the Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) method was used to discover the final key factors affecting the future of social networks. The data collection tool in the structural interpretive modeling section includes a researcher-made questionnaire containing a table of interaction matrix, and the data were analyzed by MicMac software. The research's findings showed that 27 drivers have an impact on the future of social networks, which can be classified into four general sociocultural, political/legal, economic and technological factors. According to the research's findings, technology-based affairs, digital natives, media ownership and the power of large-scale traditional media are the four final key factors influencing the future of social networks in the face of Iranian mass media on the horizon of 1404.

Arab world has seen fundamental changes since 2011 and the wave of political developments and the so-called Arab Spring revolutions have toppled four dictators in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Yemen. Mass media and satellite networks by online, professional and genuine reflection of political developments have made people aware of their rights and have mobilized them politically. This is much true for authoritarian countries that monopolize mass media and have deprived people of true information. Aljazeera is one of the satellite news networks which have had a significant role in the revolutions of the Arab world. Aljazeera by applying a delicate professionalism could attract a lot audience in the Arab World and even globally. But the approach of this network in the coverage of news and events in the Middle East and especially Syria has been biased and are directed along Qatari foreign policy.
This article by analytic-descriptive methodology firstly outlines theoretical deliberation about the mass media’s role in framing of political events; and secondly it analyses the Aljazeera’s role in Syrian crisis since March 2011.
