Gambling is one of the activities that has long been a means of human entertainment and has more or less appeared in all cultures. In general, gambling theories can be divided into two categories. One theory tries to understand the gambling process and the other is to see gambling as a social harm and tries to identify issues related to it. This article analyzes the issue of gambling and its related social harms. The method research is qualitative (ethnography) and data were collected by interview technique. The participants included all gamblers in Harandi neighborhood in Tehran 12th district. The sample size was 30 people. Findings show that in terms of typology, gambling in Harandi neighborhood can be divided into two categories: street gambling and organized gambling. In addition, according to research findings, gambling is associated with issues such as addiction, drug trafficking, violence, family breakdown, job loss, theft, social exclusion and homelessness. Therefore, gambling should not be considered as a single social harm, but should be considered a social issue, the consequences of which are not only at the individual and family level, but also at the local social level.

The family is the most basic social institution that has the task of transmitting the values of society to individuals. In recent decades, changes in different areas of the family community have affected the family. So a different and unknown future awaits the family that has caused social panic.

The statistical population consisted of experts in the fields of sociology and cultural studies. The sample size was 17 persons and data collection tool was interview.

Investigating citizens' political attitudes is an issue with a special place in society because attitudes are the prelude to individuals' formation of behaviors and social actions. In this regard, a factor that seems to influence citizens' preferences and political attitudes during elections is moral foundations. In this regard, this study tries to use the moral foundations theory (MFT) (Haidt, 2001) and its impact of such foundations on the political orientations of the citizens. The statistical research population included Isfahan citizens in the spring of 2017. Via a cluster sampling technique, 599 citizens were selected as the sample size and studied using the survey method. Research results showed that while values of authority and sanctity lead citizens to turn to principled political groups, rising scores of the moral value of fairness and justice have led to a tendency toward reformism. Finally, the results indicate that, unlike the theoretical literature, the values of care and loyalty did not significantly affect the citizens' political preference.

Corruption is a structural feature of the economic and political subsystem of Afghan society. A structural feature is obligatory.

For this purpose, the case study method has been used. Data come from 17 interviews, one of which was conducted as the main case. Data analysis has been done in a conceptual framework derived from the theories of the quality of political institutions, embedding, and the power of weak ties.  Results show that job information obtained from weak ties leads to successful job achievement when supported by strong ties. At first, the person may turn to the legal process of employment, but corupt system motivates him /her to use strong ties which finally leads to corruption neutralization. It means that the corrupted structure reproduce itself.

The present research aimed at the sociological study of the jokes associated with the relations among different social groups in Iran, with emphasis on Telegram jokes in 2018, and attempted to answer the following questions: What messages do the jokes have about social groups from the social perspective? What feelings do these messages want to express? In order to answer these questions, we have used Kemper’s Power-Status Theory alongside investigating the existing literature on the sociology of emotions and sociology of humor. This research was conducted using quantitative-qualitative content-analysis method and the statistical population of the research was the jokes exchanged on Telegram in 2018. The results of the research on the content of the jokes indicate that the concepts of gender, ethnicity and family constitute the most significant group and intra-group issues, in which power and status confrontations are seen at most. On the other hand, jokes are used as efficient instruments for criticizing power and status inequalities in different social groups.
