Concentrating on cultural changes is one of the most significant aims of studying archeology. The interpretation of the cultural changes in a society or a region in prehistoric periods requires a decent understanding of the relation between the cultural materials. Having a specific view or a theoretical approach towards the so-called issue reflects the researcher’s orientations. One of the cultural areas in Iran about which there have been several ideas and disputes on its prehistoric cultural changes could be the Central Plateau of Iran. Most of the proposed theories about the cultural changes of this area have been based on historical-cultural approach. In this study, we have been analyzing these changes in Tehran plain along with revision and considering the past theories together with defining theoretical concepts for presenting a new viewpoint.

rnity has been accompanied by great cultural, economic, social and political developments. One of the most important changes in modern society can be seen in what is known as the difference between today's and the previous generation or the generation gap. In this article, we try to identify the cultural changes of religious values and family values in the values of two generations of parents and children and provide solutions to eliminate its negative effects on families and society. Relying on the most important sociological theories such as Inglehart's theory of cultural change and Parsons' theory of action, this article examines religious norms and values and family norms and values. The fieldwork in Isfahan was conducted using a survey method and using a questionnaire technique. To validate the questionnaire, two types of content and formal validity were used and Cronbach's alpha test was used to calculate the reliability. The sample size was 590 and the statistical population included parents (over 35 years) and young people (15 to 30 years). Sample volume in 15 districts of Isfahan is filled by age, sex and area of residence. Sampling was performed by proportional quota method. Descriptive statistical methods (mean and standard deviation) have been used for analysis and at the level of inferential statistics, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equations and T test with two independent groups have been used. There is a relationship between religious norms and values and family norms and values between today's and past generations (youth and their parents). So, in general, we conclude that the cultural changes of religious values and family values of young people and their parents in Isfahan are different Manuscript profile

The purpose of this research was to compare the role of mass and social media in cultural changes with an emphasis on belonging to the national identity of teenagers. The research method was causal-comparative. The statistical population of the research consists of all adolescents (13-17 years old) of Ardabil city, numbering 50,000, of which 380 people were selected as a sample by cluster random sampling. To collect data, a researcher-made questionnaire for the media and a standard questionnaire by Selgi et al. (2014) were used for the feeling of belonging to the national identity. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to estimate the form and content validity of the questionnaires from the experts' and professors' point of view, and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to estimate the reliability of the questionnaires, which was higher than 0.7 for the questionnaires. Data were analyzed through t-test and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) in SPSS software. The results showed that mass and social media play a different role in the feeling of belonging to the national identity and its dimensions (social, historical, cultural and political) among teenagers (P<0.01). So that the feeling of belonging to the national identity and its dimensions among the teenagers whose media consumption is of a social type is less than the teenagers who are of a collective type. 5.7% of cultural belonging, 7.7% of historical belonging, 9.7% of political belonging and 14.7% of social belonging of teenagers are explained through the difference in the effect of the type of media (collective and social). Therefore, it is concluded that the type of media plays an important role in the cultural changes of teenagers in general and the feeling of belonging to the national identity in particular.
