          After the World War II developing countries were growing rapidly and they experienced many social changes such as social movements. After these concrete structural changes, some abstract changes occurred within the deepest social layers and the changes in social status of the youth have resulted from such revolutions. Also the Iran has been affected by some of these changes such as population growth, urban residence development, and globalization and some outcomes of these important changes have led to generation gaps. Thus, considering the gaps between generations in Iran and the policy making and management of it is highly important. Cultural policy making is among the most effective strategies to deal with the problem. Therefore, the researcher in this study has tried to propose some resolutions regarding the primary and secondary social growth contradiction theory posed by Berger and Lockman along with investigating the gap between generations in Iran within the framework of Cyclic Policy Making Model of Jones. The research method is descriptive-analytic and data collection through a library study. The findings of the study indicate that the manner of interaction among religion, government and family has a determining impact on decreasing or increasing the generation gap.

          This article is based on a fundamental and exploratory research, By studying and analyzing texts and aiming to create positive, dynamic, and interventional services for universities, In order to mitigate the social damage that has been rising in metropolis, causing major concerns and disruptions in people's lives, An attempt has been made to provide an informed, space-saving map to reduce injuries. Unfortunately, the spread of social damage and its anti-Semitism on the cultural identity of the younger generation threatens the peace and balance of sustainability institutions such as the family and education. The result is that, considering the final part of this paper, one can reduce the scope of ambiguity in the cultural intervention of the university to reduce social harm. As well as the collective responsibility of the indifference of the executive directors of universities, especially in the provincial center; to provide academic units with awareness of clear legal, sociological, and cultural strategies, they will provide functional and coherent patterns to reduce the distress and infectious (social) syndrome of urban society. And provided an innovative, dynamic, and scientific discursive atmosphere to attract new ideas and methods. It is hoped that this endeavor will be the basis for conducting research and applied discourses in the native regions of the country, with the participation of the university and the coordination of governmental institutions such as welfare, law enforcement, Islamic culture and guidance, and other relevant executive agencies Manuscript profile
