Movement Layers in Iranian Society Two Macro and Ten Micro Social Movements

The present paper describes and explains qualitatively the current Iranian society from the perspective of two “types” of movements. Based on this study، Iran has a notable potential for movement. This society hosts two “Macro” movements (“Popular-Religious-Anti-American” and “Democratic” movements). For the first movement، resources of the state are available besides resources of the society، while democratic movement interacts with ten slow progress- based movements. This essay shows that first of all، one effective way to discharge social movements is to strengthen democratic mechanism. Secondly، controlling democratic movement demonstrations in streets may be possible still it cannot be wiped out inside the society، because this movement is connected to such decuple movements continuing to exist in the context of people’s daily life in the society and is not easy to be wiped out
