Media is an essential area of social life that is closely related to fundamental value. In the process of evolution of the value system of generations under the influence of the media, the more frequent the beliefs and attitudes of the two generations are in the context of a society's preferred and desirable values, the higher the convergence of values. Moreover, if there is a change in beliefs and values, there is a divergence from previous values.Aim: In this study, an attempt has been made to examine the relationship between media benefit and deviance and value convergence among young people and middle-aged people.The theoretical foundations used in the research include Max Weber's, Schwarz's theories of value transformation, and Inglehart's theory of value in terms of value and cultural transformation.Method: the presented study has used quantitative approach.Media Users in Tehran are Considered as the Statistical Population and Based on Categorical Sampling, questionnaires distributed in 4 area: North, South, East and West of Tehran.
