Evaluating the interaction and dialogue among people of different religious traditions as participatory, constructive, and positive, at both the individual and institutional levels which leads to increasing acceptance of others, this paper aims at investigating and understanding the grounds for reapproach among religions in the province of Sistan and Baluchestan, South-East of Iran. Based on the method of "Grounded Theory," the research was conducted with 25 residents of Zahedan County using a theoretical sampling method and semi-structured interviews. The findings were coded according to the Strauss and Corbin method. Finding reveals that the factors contributing to the promotion of a culture of interfaith nearing in Zahedan County include cooperation in the academic environment, increasing interrelationships as well as using educational methods which encourage and promote positive and constructive relations with the people of other religions, extension of conciliatory religiosity model as well as shifting from religious animosity to peaceful coexistence, in the shadow of peace and mutual respect.

Emigration or the intention to emigrate from Iran, among specialist groups can be a thorny problem if it continues to spread. Therefore, the article aims to investigate the extent of the intention to emigration and its contributing factors among postgraduate students at University of Isfahan. The research is a survey by method and the statistical population consisted of 6258 students studying during the academic year 2021-2022 in postgraduate level. The data analysis was performed according to a sample comprising of 215 students, in which quota sampling (sex, study program, and educational department) was used. The findings revealed that the mean score of the intention to migration is larger than the average of the scale (3.2 out of 5). Likewise, it was found that in the Humanities department, the intention to emigrate is less than engineering and basic science departments. economic condition had no contribution to the intention to emigration. As for Furthermore, there was no significant difference between males and females in terms of the intention to emigrate. The diagram of the structural equation model shows the indirect effect of religious belonging and institutional trust on the intention to emigrate while a direct effect of social belonging on the variable could be distinguished in the same time. As religious belonging increases, intension to emigrate declines while institutional trust increases. However, as institutional trust grows, emigration declines and so does social belonging and the intention to stay.

Considering the discontinuity of modernity and modernization in Iran, this article tries to look for the effect of discontinuity in the process of development and counter-development while briefly reviewing the national origins of these two concepts in Western countries. The flow of development in advanced industrialized nations proceeded naturally. Due to the long conflicts between the three centers of political, economic and religious power, these countries succeeded in creating legal systems that ensured development. But after the Second World War, when the flow of development entered the countries that faced structural and territorial barriers and lack of legal guarantees, they turned into an anti-development flow. In Iran, this phenomenon started in the form of modernization from the constitutional era. But there were several factors that fueled social and political discontinuity and created major obstacles in the path of development. The discontinuity between modernism and modernity was part of a historical process and caused by insecurities and as a result the concentration of political power. This article intends to explain the effect of political power on social discontinuities, focusing on the issue of development with a political sociological approach The main question is, what factors caused the discontinuities to emerge , and how can these factors be removed?

In recent years, the issue of sexual dissatisfaction has received considerable attention, and many have emphasized on its high prevalence among couples, as well as its impact on most divorces. The main question of this study is how much is the prevalence of sexual dissatisfaction among couples and what effect does sexual dissatisfaction have on the life and separation of couples? This research was conducted using a secondary analysis of the National Family Survey data. The population included married individuals or those who were divorced in urban areas of Iran, and the sample size was 2850 individuals. The findings indicate that sexual dissatisfaction among couples is around 9%, and it does not have a significant determining effect on the occurrence of divorce. Only 10% of individuals with sexual dissatisfaction considered the probability of separation from their spouse as high. Additionally, only about 4% of couples reported their sexual conflict with their spouse as very high and about 10% reported it as high. Examining the factors of divorce among divorced individuals revealed that factors such as addiction, family interference, lack of love, and infidelity were more important, while sexual problems were only the cause of 1.3% of divorces. Overall, sexual dissatisfaction is neither a common issue among couples nor a determining factor in the tendency towards divorce in Iran.

The main issue of this research is investigating the role of power components in the continuation of the distinction between the the common people and the nobles during the constitutional period as the first experience of the Iranian nation in having the rule of law. The research approach is analytical and the data are analyzed based on Bourdieu's formative structuralism. The results of this research show that in creating a concept and shaping mentalities, the type of discourse that governs society, character, temperament and habits of people, along with the various dimensions of political and economic power, has an effective role. To create or consolidate a situation in society is not necessarily the only instrumental power that is effective, since social dominance is not guaranteed forever Therefore, it should always be accompanied by some kind of indoctrination that is shaped in the form of discourse and the creation of concepts. Therefore, we witness the continuation of the distinction between commons and nobles communities during the constitutional period; one of its consequences was the failure of the constitutional system to implement the equality of the law for all members of the Iranian nation.

Before the triumph of the constitution in Iran, collective identities were mainly based on family, tribe, clan, neighborhood, and religion, which can be called "ascribed identity." Power conflicts that led to political violence were manifested according to the social capacities of these identities. The fulcrum of this violence was the divine legitimacy of power, which ultimately led to violent conflicts that reproduced the existing social relations. After the establishment of the constitutional system in Iran, with the formation of modern organizations and the emergence of modernist organizational and "acquired" identities, as well as the growing trend of urbanization, the fulcrum of political violence shifted. On one hand, it became the law as a regulator of modern life, and on the other hand, it became the revolutionary ideals that manifested themselves in partisan, sectarian, and secretive organizations. This article, using the method of historical analysis, shows that political violence transformed from unwritten rules, ascribed identities, ascribed roles, personal will, tribal attribution, belief, continuity of existing order, arduous killing, and exclusion of specific people into political violence with written rules, acquired identities, acquired roles, organizational attribution, effortless killing, and the elimination of specific relationships to be replaced by new ideological relationships.
