This study seeks to provide sociological explanations for “novelty” in Iran. The key question is “How the social institutions deal with “novelty”?” In this study a combination of theories of "Iranian novelty”, “indigenous novelty”, “National and alien novelty” presented by scholars such as Taghi Azad Armaki, Dr. Jamshid Behnam and Dr. Moosa Najafi. The sum of these theories is based on two points: First, modernity is different from novelty. Second, any community can experience its own novelty. The research method is documentary and data are collected by library method. The research results indicate that the governments have provided the areas for emergence of novelty in the past two hundred years in Iran. They have often followed all technological and material aspects of novelty. Iranian clergy have played a role in making the ground for novelty under three groups of “proponents”, “opponents” and “critics”. Also, Iranian intellectuals have welcomed novelty in the form of “proof, criticism and rejection”. The purity of knowledge and attachment of the intellectuals to novelty and its principles and achievements have been more than the rulers and clergies.

Contrary to popular beliefs that regard cyberspace as a communication tool (phone) or as a media (TV) this paper, considering its power and functional scope, has proposed it as a new category of society and human relationship. The social-ethical security of children in the online life style is also the structural element of this community / fluid hypertext (cyberspace). The researcher has inferred the necessity of the study, (using the application of the interpretive rights method), from the text of the two Universal Charter of Human Rights and the Child Rights; and has been proposed and advocated it in the form of a "limited discourse of the rationalization of the virtual community", in particular with a view to protecting the social ethics of children and supporting the unrepeatable experience of young children. Refraining from any epistemic controversy with the cognitive -technological origins of cyberspace, the discourse is based on western knowledge and philosophy. Such an approach is precisely the use of an internal critique of the pathology of cyberspace. The result is that, in the process of such an acceptable discourse by collective conscience and public opinion (especially in the West), the adoption of international legal measures has been proposed to seek technological, epistemological, legal and cultural reconstruction of the virtual community. This proposal is aimed at protecting the family, the social-ethical security of children and supporting the unrepeatable childhood experiences.

Statistical society of this study includes all visitors to Tehran’s Red Crescent drugstores. According to Morgan Table, 384 individuals were chosen as samples. In this study, the degree of visitors’ satisfaction from the Red Crescent drugstores has been evaluated by means of circular scale. In order to identify the effective factors affecting visitors’ satisfaction, a self-made questionnaire was applied. Analyzing data, descriptive and inferential methods were applied which include: median, standard deviation, T-Test, regression, independent T-Test, one-way variance analysis. The results show the visitors’ satisfaction from the Red Crescent drugstores. And this satisfaction was almost good over the issues of physical factors, trust, sympathy, and responsiveness. But in assurance factor, the degree of satisfaction is almost average. Regarding statistics, the results of T-Test also show a significant degree of satisfaction. Results of multiple linear regressions also show that, employees’ interaction and behavior, general quality of pharmaceutical services, and human reliability are main effective factors on Tehran’s Red Crescent drugstores visitors’ satisfaction. But drugstores’ physical environment itself does not have any significant impact on visitors’ satisfaction. Also, the degree of satisfaction is more among men than women.
