The purpose of this article is to critically analyze the historical process of higher education in Iran and to answer the question، “What roles have political، social، and cultural developments played in the development of higher education centers?” The type of research is descriptive and the method applied in the study is documentary (review). In data analysis، the method of content analysis was used. Regarding the content of the subject، the article analyzed the historical process of higher education in three periods، including ancient، middle، and modern era. Moreover، the paper analyzed and explained the social، political، economic، and cultural conditions and factors in each era with a critical view. Findings of the study suggested that the stability of the central government had an effective role in forming and developing higher education centers، so that when stability was dominant in the political and social space of the country، equipped libraries were established and road networks were developed and modified to facilitate access to these centers. The situation increased the willingness ofthe scholars of other countries، especially the Greeks، to attend the higher education centers of Iran. Concurrent with the establishment of Jondishapour University in Sassanid era، the growth of higher education centers reached its climax. In the middle era، which began with the emergence of Islam، non-governmental higher education centers were established and women became free to participate in higher education centers. Modern era began with the establishment of Dar ul-Funun in Qajar era. Dar ul-Funun was established with a professional and functional approach to modern science in order to meet the specialized needs، especially with regards to the modernization of the army and other prevailing needs. One of the most important scientific events of the modern era was the establishment of Tehran University in 1934

One of the main goals of the Constitutional Revolution in Iran in early 20th century was the establishment of “Law”. It intended to implement the rule of law in the administration of social institutions. Yet، it seems that there were some obstacles blocking the way of reaching these goals. There was a mistaken view of freedom as to do away with any kind of restraint among elite as well as intellectuals. Also، the habit of evading laws and ignoring regulations was institutionalized in the administration system. These were combined with other problems like autocratic decision making، red tape، and bribery that prevented major changes in these important institutions

Rap music is a musical genre that has become a musical preference of the youth of the country over the last decade. A review of various music websites and a dialogue with fans of rap music indicates that it has its own song writers، composers، and even reporters and websites. However، few studies have been done about this genre in Iran. Most foreign studies on rap music have shown the tendency of the youth to this style of music on the basis of a causal explanation and have revealed a causal relationship between this genre of music and some social deviations. This paper tackles with the perception of the fans of rap music towards this genre and its effects on the society. After reviewing the theoretical frameworks and research findings for and against rap music، this study attempts to answer its main questions based on a phenomenological approach and use of the technique of interviewing. The results indicated that the fans of rap music considered this genre as a media to express their problems and pains and believed that the use of vulgar words by rappers was due to the pressures they suffer in life. Moreover، listening to rap music encouraged and strengthened the adoption of critical political and social positions

Tendency to tourism is one of the most important research areas in tourism. Understanding why people travel and what factors affect behavioral tendencies in the selection of a tourism destination can help solve many of the problems facing the tourism industry. Among the factors that may influence the level of tendency to tourism andboost it is capital، which، in spite of its importance، has received little attention. In the present paper، first، the share of social and cultural capital in the tendency to tourism was analyzed، and، second، the share of these two factors was compared. It was a qualitative research with survey method. A researched-made questionnaire was conducted on a sample of 400 respondents in two sites of Persepolis and Hafezieh in Shiraz. The findings of the research indicated that there was a significant relationship between social and cultural capital and the level of tendency to tourism and its dimensions. The total direct and indirect impact of social capital was at 0. 33، which compared to 0. 29 proportion of cultural capital، it can be concluded that the social capital has a greater effect on the level of tendency to tourism.

This article is about the methodology employed by Pierre Bourdieu in the field of cultural capital. The cultural capital is the culture that functions similar to capital from a social point of view. The primary concern of Bourdieu was to identify a capital، the primary function of which was to legitimate domination through symbolic violence، i. e. the ability to sustain relations of domination. The main concern of the author in choosing this subject was the emphasis on applying qualitative methods in the field of social sciences research in Iran، as if the only valid research is the one that uses complicated inferential statistics. Les Hertiers (1964)، Distinction (1979) and Misere du Monde (1993) are three major works by Bourdieu in the field of cultural capital that are analyzed in this study from a methodological point of view، using documentary method. The findings indicate that، in these studies، Bourdieu has not limited himself to theoretical explanations. Rather، he has employed quantitative and qualitative methods، referred to tangible researches، and used specific examples and illustrations in his study of cultural capital. The most prominent feature of his method is known as constructivist structuralism، in which the role of the agents، on the one hand، and the social structures، on the other، are challenged
