The issue of choosing a political center (the capital) or its transfer is a phenomenon that has different theoretical and experimental backgrounds in different regions of the world. It also has a background in Iran and has been a valuable experience. This article is derived from a research project on developing a model for determining the best possible political center for the country considering the social, cultural, geographical, political, and geopolitical fields as well as defense and security, science and technology and economy infrastructures. The present article looks into the cultural and social dimensions and components of such a project and studies the indexes of the components. This is a case study with an eclectic approach. Using a questionnaire and a random sampling method, a sample size of 180 cultural and social experts were selected to gather information. Inferential statistics methods such as test of equality of means, and the self-test, next to Spearman’s correlation coefficient test and Friedman and Wilcoxon rank tests were used for data analysis. The results show that the cultural and social areas with cultural and social dimensions, which include five components and nine leading indicators, play a new role in determining the best possible political center for the country at the present time. One of the other achievements of the research is that the cultural dimension plays a more important role than the social dimension. It also reveals that in choosing the best possible political center for the country, the Islamic identity and culture are more determining than the components of Iranian and revolutionary culture.

The main object of this paper is to explore the Velayat-e-faghih discourse in Wealth Creation. It is shown that the Nodal point of Velayat-e-faghih discourse in Wealth Creation, is "Knowledge Based Production with Self-Esteem" resulted by content analysis and discourse analysis of Imam Khomeini and Imam Khamenei’s speeches and there are active forces against this discourse hegemony by the enemies of Islamic Republic of Iran.
It is shown that the point of view of the Islamic Republic Supreme Leaders about Wealth Creation are the same as each other: reconstruction and economic development, necessity of Wealth Creation, respect to property rights, national progress via knowledge-based economy and the general welfare in Islamic society, are strongly recommended and emphasized by Imam Khomeini and Imam Khamenei.

This research looks for U.S strategic behavior model against the Islamic Republic of Iran based on effects-based approach through America defense and national security strategy documents reviews and analysis their contents. Study of the documents show that “environment shaping” is main concept in U.S strategic behavior model and its goal is to isolate Iran. Enforcing the other countries and organizations, influencing the third groups whether Iran’s adherents or opponents, using regional partners against Iran are among the means of shaping. It seems Iran interior collapsing under the internal and external pressures, is U.S scenario in its strategic behavior model. According of effects-based approach, “the leadership” and “the common people” are the most critical pillars of Iran. The close relationship between “the Revolutionary Guard (R.G)” and “the leadership” has caused the R.G is always the center of attention of America. It is, therefore, other critical pillar of Iran. In U.S scenario, the leadership & the R.G – the common people relations must be broken off. Doing this, the interior network of Iran becomes unstable and will change its behavior against U.S; the people must feel there is no way unless Iran comes to terms with U.S. It seems Iran must adopting “the comprehensive defense strategy” as only solution to this behavior model.

Excommunicating flows in Social & Religions cycles have emerged over the world. They have made a lot of injuries. Extremist interpretations of religion are the common essence of them. Although it seems many power structures, exploiting the existence of such flows, are required to achieve their political and economic purposes. In other way the real scholars of religion & society have always observing and monitoring the activities of excommunication while with Forecasting their thoughts and behavior combating with them. Of course this requires a thorough analysis of religious, social, political, economic, cultural, and so on. Only the models were effective that are provided with sufficient integrity. The first step to achieving this target is to see the topic from different perspectives and consider different solutions.
This paper is an attempt to see the problem in light of Futures Studies knowledge and research. Futures Studies are Independent scientific studies for social action design. This knowledge as an Applied knowledge along with other sciences can be a powerful tool for analyzing and providing solutions for the humanities and social issues. Scenario is the most common method in Futures Studies. Scenarios with describing the uncertainty facing decision makers and mapping the space of alternative probability offer solutions for excommunication contrast. The most important point is that the Scenarios have logical relations among its components and offering Big-Picture therefore they have great persuasive power to create unity among Islamic sects and scholars to act against the flow of excommunication. The main uncertainties are the unity of the Islamic sects and media posturing. These two elements, with independence assumption, are drawn four scenarios and various modes of the Islamic world dealing with excommunication will be determined through these.

The aim of current research is examining the quality of maintaining order and stability of society through social control. For this purpose, various types of orders and elements or factors of social disorders are studied. In a categorization, the different types of orders are stationary, annihilating and dynamic orders and change is both sides of same coin. Necessarily, neither any order is desirable nor any change is undesirable. Desirable order has potential to change free energy and changing elements into controlled energy and elements. In other words, change is constructive and evolutionary and nor unchangeable and solided order, this is social development.The elements of social disorder and disruption include: norm; symbolic; relation and distributive disorders. The social norms are most significant factors of social ties and interactions. And disorder in the norms of society is considered as one of the most significant elements of social disorder.Social relations is the main pillar of “we” and community. Without social relations, the existence of “we” and community and subsequently society is unimaginable. The purpose of relation disruption is lowing of density, symmetry and multiplicity as well as the intensity of social relations.The purpose of symbolic disorder is inefficiency in symbols and common understanding and statement symbolism at the level of society such as language, flag, champions, proverbs, etc. One of the basic requirements for order of society is symbolic unity.The system of opportunity or distribution of valuable sources is one of the pillars of society construction. And if such system lacks of balance or proportionality then social inequality and subsequently, social disorder would happen.
