The Organization for Educating the Thoughts and Attempt for Changing the Young`s Style of Life in Reza Shah Pahlavi`s Era

In 1917, the Organization of Thoughts was established to the realize an important part of the unfinished goals of the first Pahlavi government. The organization is a clear symbol of the shift in attitudes of Reza Shah's government in terms of cultural tactics and techniques. Failure of the imperialist modernization approach and the emergence of resistance and opposition to the actions of the government have led to the confrontation of the state and the nation and the emergence of contradictions in this area. The present article seeks to show the individual and social impacts of this organization in the lifestyles of the people. The author believes that the new cultural policy as intended by the organization has achieved the grand goals of the first Pahlavi government in order to change the lifestyle of the younger generation and create social disconnect in Iranian society at that time.
