The method of the present study is descriptive-analytical and the data are analyzed using the content analysis research method. The results indicate that in the novel of the forties is the basis of traditional family formation and content analysis indicates that there are many problems and issues in the family that family members, despite their severity and bitterness, are trying maintain to frame the family. In novel My Bird, the 1980s are the basis for the formation of the family on the principles of modernity, and show that the family is still of particular importance, but the maintenance of its framework is not done at any cost and cohabitation is less durable.

The study of the relationship between culture, value, ethics and art that has arisen from everyday life has faced a serious challenge in the modern age. Cinema, as a unique tool for expressing and organizing the life issues, has created its liberating and critical interest in discovering moral rules and intends to remove ambiguity from life and represent it in artistic language. The main traditional values are religious, family, and collectivist values, and modern values are diversity, hedonism, independence, ambition, individualism, and the acquisition of new experience. In the present study, by identifying the cultural values represented in movies and using the theories of Allport, Rokich, Schwartz circular structure, Rafipour theory, John Stewart and Hall theory, and through the discourse analysis method, values have been studied. In discourse analysis, the social conditions, the context of text or writing occurrence, non-verbal communication and the relationship between structure and words are considered in a general proposition. By describing, interpreting and explaining the cultural values represented in the movies content in the decade after the Islamic Revolution of Iran (Hamoon, Nakhodakhorshid, Where is the Friend's House, Runner, Tenants and Basho the Little Stranger) Film dialogues have been studied through the power values, success, hedonism, arousal, independence, cosmopolitanism, benevolence, traditionalism, conformity, securityism, wealth legitimization, religious values and national values through maxqda software. According to the results of this study, the intertextual similarities of cultural discourse values represented in the films of a decade after revolution are benevolence, power and traditionalism. Interdisciplinary discourse values, benevolence, traditionalism and conformity are more prominent in the films of a decade after the revolution. By analyzing the films made in these days, it can be said that the films of this decade have been in the direction of benevolence, traditionalism and conformity.

In the post-colonial years and during years America becoming a superpower, the anti-Americanism approach compared to the Americanism approach, became more intense in the world. After the victory of the Islamic Revolution, also Iran and the United States’ relations completely changed from Americanism to anti-Americanism due to the events happened between the two countries. In this article, according to the anti-American approach of the Islamic Revolution of Iran discourse, the two presidents of Iran’s dialogue, namely Mr. Hashemi Rafsanjani and Mr. Khatami, have been analyzed in the face of America, after the imposed war. The research method used in this article is Lacla and Mofe‘s discourse analysis. According to the results of this research, Khatami's priority in his foreign policy was to seek better relations with the West, but based on mutual respect and interests. For this reason, the level of hostility of Khatami's political discourse in the face of America, like Hashemi's, was competition. Yet, the difference was that, unlike Hashemi, Khatami did not address the US government, and his main audience in this regard was the US people instead of the US government.

This research is aimed comparative study of gender discrimination in before and after Islamic revolution in Iran. It totally captures the time intervals -between 1961 and 2011- as to make possible the analysis of social, political and economic status of discrimination and gender discrimination in different layers of Iranian legal system. Building upon the research hypothesis, in the year 1961 - the beginning of Iran’s modernization era and the White Revolution in the second Pahlavi period - women’s social, political and economic status was subject to many changes to their benefit. And it was still revitalized in a new direction after the Islamic Revolution of Iran, which brought about religious interpretations and cultural considerations in social, political and economic status of women. Based on the Gender Equity Indexes of 1961 to 2011, women's participation in the fields of economic, political and legal justice (men and women) in Iran's civil code faced an upward trajectory. Although at the rise of the Islamic republic revolution instabilities experienced as a result of a change in the political relations, the expansion and improvement of gender equity faced a temporary downturn, but in the next years, women’s participation in social, economic and office affairs showed considerable improvement. However, any effort in the field of political law for clarification of the presence or absence of women (an instance of discrimination) brings to the fore the cultural issues and the executors' mentality and interpretations much before facing the preventive laws. This is a documentary research, functional in objectives and library data collection through law texts.
