Critique of structures that create addiction, and 4. Ethical commitment based on humane relations. Labe Kaht in Tehran is an aggregate if many people with many sufferings, atmospheres with addiction, conflict and putrefaction. Labe Khat humans are those who migrated from other places in Iran, in search of money but involved in stupefaction and scorn, immersed in putrefaction and decay, captivated in illness and misery. I try through my anthropography make some images of alleys and rooms, along with moments of life of some Labe Khat people, in the form of written pieces and fragments. In conclusion, by developing a new concept "strong course of pain", will attempt drew macro, micro and personal politics dealing with corrosion of a Labe Khat woman.
