The aim of the research is to analyze the critical discourse in the Qajar and Islamic Republic emblems based on the relationship between emblem and discourse. The research method is descriptive analytic and the analysis approach is critical discourse.National emblems are the visual dimension of political discourses.The differences of emblems as a part of the discourse or the visual effect of a discourse may return to the specific way of that visual effect or be interpreted as a certain political tendency. Discourses consistent with the symbol of the lion and sun are paternal, royal and national identity discourse based on historical past and religious identity. This emblem is indicative of the ideals of ideological traditionalists, as an attractive visual aspect of religious discourse. In this way, any emblem that represent the visual dimension of the discourse of Sunnis or other religious minorities are removed, or rejected by displaying this symbol in the ministries, press, publications, etc. The discourse of the Islamic Revolution is a reaction to absolute modernism of Pahlavi period. The discourses that arose in the Islamic revolution included strategies and conflicts such as class struggle,de-exploitation, struggle against imperialism, colonialism. This discourse resists in the field of power that the Orientalist and Middle Eastern discourse that Westerners create. The comparison of the Qajar and Islamic Republic emblems, shows the difference in their attitude in choosing the type of governance. The Qajar rule wants to dominate the empire and the other wants to spread Islamic rule all over the world.

Tone is one of the elements of the story that increases the power of conveying concepts and feelings and makes the implied meanings of words better understood. This element, by means of the expression of words and sentences, helps to create the atmosphere of the story and affects the mind of the audience. The present article is the result of a research in the direction of understanding the tone in the stories of the Qur'an, which deals with the introduction of the tone, the factors that create the tone, the change and variety of the tone, and its importance and role in the stories of the Qur'an. . This research has been done in a descriptive-analytical way using library studies. In terms of content, the general tone of Quranic stories is didactic-preaching, but there are many minor tones such as surprising, humiliating, pitiful, supplicating, warning, argumentative, encouraging, evangelizing, insistent, regretful and educational tone in These stories are also seen. Among the linguistic elements, the process of choosing words and combining sentences, weights and syllables are the most important factors in creating the tone of stories. The expression of the tone in short stories is not explicit, and through the element of tone, short stories, in addition to writing stories and adorning and embellishing the words, seek to criticize some ideas, behaviors and urge to their own goals, which is dominated by the tone. Education is present throughout the stories.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of media and social and virtual networks on the policy and tendencies of financial market investors. The target population was based on a survey in 2021 among 420 students with investment experience in the financial markets, which was selected by purposeful and non-random sampling and after collecting, 201 questionnaires were analyzed using the logit model. The results showed: a) Mass media leads to fluctuations in investors' tendencies and policies and affects their decisions. b) In the conditions of recession and crisis in the financial markets, the impact and penetration rate of news media is more than social and specialized media. c) while in the conditions of prosperity in the financial markets only, to adjust and carry out reforms in the stock market, the influence of news media is more than social and specialized media d) media news reports basically have an asymmetric effect in the sense that In conditions of market boom, investors pay more attention to optimistic reports and ignore reports that have negative signals. On the other hand, in the conditions of recession and lack of prosperity in the market, investors are more vulnerable to pessimistic media reports, and reports with active information do not have a significant and meaningful impact on their decisions. However, financial markets investors need to learn media literacy along with financial literacy in order to distinguish real news from fake news

The natural desire of humans to have a meaningful view of the surrounding world and to escape from emptiness has caused religion to create a new and meaningful attitude to life as a factor for giving meaning to life. This approach, by presenting an emerging interpretation of man and religion, as well as the relationship between the two, seeks to understand man and the dimensions of religion, from vision and beliefs to behavior, habits and religious customs. Religious rituals as a factor for communication and unity of people have a decisive role in the social-cultural-identity structure. Surah Mubarakah Hajj, as the focus of Quranic rituals, includes culturally-creating religious propositions in different dimensions such as: politics, economy, culture, etc., each of which has its roots in the revelations and contents of the verses. Based on this importance, the current research aims to extract the cultural teachings of the rituals, with the analytical-descriptive method and relying on the inferential approach, it has tried to analyze the functionality of the cultural teachings of this surah and explain the functional comparison of the rituals of Hajj with the era of Jahiliyyah. The findings of the research indicated that in Surah Hajj, we are faced with the conceptual propositions of correcting the harms and cultural deviations of rituals, and at the head of these reforms, restoring piety as a union of worldliness and religion to rituals has been taken into consideration

Policy-making regarding the education of ethnic and local languages, like any other issue, cannot be based only on value and normative guidelines and without considering the requirements of the environment and strategic considerations. For this purpose, a research was conducted with the aim of identifying the driving factors and influential actors in the issue of teaching ethnic and local languages in Iran. In order to identify the driving factors, we used the method of "Analysis of mutual effects" using Mikmac software and for "Analysis of actors" we used Mector software. As the most important results: to prevent the collapse of the important group of "ethnic activists" in the coalition of opponents of the political system; To continue accompanying the group "Convergents who want to increase the ethnic share"; And also, in order to neutralize the factors of "ethnic nationalization" and "ethnic divergence", it is suggested that the policymaker should leave his relative inaction in the issue of teaching ethnic and local languages and take control of the field with a measured action. But the educational program of ethnic and local language and literature should not have the characteristics of "inclusion" and "standardization" which is the main demand of "ethnic fighters" with the aim of nation building. On the other hand, the desired educational program should be "elitist", with the aim of identifying and flourishing talents and overseeing the preservation of different varieties of native languages as the linguistic heritage of the country and away from being influenced by foreign varieties.

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 1.07 and 1.02, 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 present article was prepared based on a research entitled "Sociological study of the relationship between cultural capital and media literacy among the youth of Tehran" in 1400, the statistical population includes all young people aged 18 to 35 living in Tehran (4177178 people). The research is of applied type and survey method. Using a researcher-made questionnaire, information has been collected, and additional information has been obtained through documentary and library research. The sampling method is quota. To analyze research data, statistical tests such as correlation coefficient and other inferential statistical tests are useful. The theoretical framework of the research was built using Bourdieu's theories in the field of cultural capital and Hobbes, Thoman and Potter and the knowledge gap in the field of media literacy, and then the conceptual model of the research was designed. Statistical analyzes show that the cultural capital of the statistical community is close to average. The media literacy of the respondents, which is obtained from the sum of the results of the components of access, analysis, evaluation and production of media content, is slightly above the average. The results of the hypotheses test showed that, in general, there is a direct and significant relationship between media literacy and embodied and objectified cultural capital of the youth, but there is no significant relationship between media literacy and institutionalized cultural capital. In addition, there is no relationship between gender, marital status and income level with media literacy.
