    This paper presents an attempt to use Agnew’s General Strain Theory ( GST) (1992) for explanation of the criminal behavior differences between young males and females in Babol, a city in northern part of Iran. General Strain Theory (GST) is essentially regarded as a set of ideas formulated to explain the occurrence of crime as a result of the strain in social life. This study explores the relationship between gender and criminal behavior among males and females. To achieve this aim it was used a theoretical model based on Agnew’s general strain theory (GST) design and finally this casual model conceptualized and operationalized the variables. In this study the independent variable is gender. Data gathered from a sample of 140 young persons who lived in Babol. The findings indicate that there are significant differences between gender and crime.

    In this article, the role of cultural capital in strengthening social trust in Iran has been studied. Social trust is one of the most important components of social development. It is one of the important aspects of social relations. Cultural capital, which is an indicator of cultural development, is used objectively and the scientific and cultural qualities of a person can affect social trust. The research approach in this study is descriptive-causal and has been conducted in a cross-sectional and temporal manner. The statistical population includes women and men over 18 years of age in Zanjan. Findings showed that there is a relatively high correlation between cultural capital and social trust and this correlation is statistically significant. Household income showed a negative relationship with social trust, so that by increasing the income level of families, their level of social trust was reduced. But there was a positive and direct correlation between the education of citizens and their parents' education and social trust, as the level of education and also literacy of individuals increased social trust. Similarly, the results of regression analysis showed that the variables of cultural capital, income and education of the individual and responsible parents were 64 percent of the total dependent variable variation, but the share of the main variable of the research, namely, cultural capital, in this explanation was 33 percent.

    Education, by regarding the social and critical elements can be traced back to the 20th century. Critical pedagogy was started out of the need of reforming education in a way that it would acknowledge the influence of the present social and political elements in each and every educational context. Some critical theorists applied ideas in critical theories to education in the society. In this regard, social pedagogy describes a holistic and relationship-centered way of working in care and educational settings with people across the course of their lives. In actual fact politically and socially engaged critiques of power in everyday life, communities, and institutions are exactly what are needed to develop critical and social pedagogies in language education. This paper aims to study descriptively about the sociological effect of critical and social pedagogy on young learners' English education.
