Reverse individualism in the Iranian post-revolutionary society:The case study of sufferings of law and the breaking of it in the Iranian university

The main object of the article is to study the problem of alienation from the law in Iranian culture. We thus study the state of the law in the university as one of the most important institutes for educating the legitimate citizen. Then, we have done two types of research about the culture of the university. First, we have researched students’ transgressions in the fields of politics, morality, and education. Second, we did research the professors’ confrontation with the surveillance laws on their process of scientific quality. Consequently, Iranian universities, as one of the most important institutes to educate professional subjects and legitimate citizens are producing alien subjects to university laws. Therefore, if in modern western culture, based on the consumer culture, the law is to defend individualism, in Iran the transgression against the law is to defend the self and it has ended in a reverse individualism.
