        This article examines the relationship between the two concepts of narcissism and Instagram and examines the role of social networks in creating or increasing the pre-existing narcissism of people. In addition to examining Christopher Lash's opinions about modern society and narcissists of our time and era, we measured the relationship between Instagram and narcissism by borrowing from Sigmund Freud's theories, which proposed two types of primary and secondary narcissism, as well as Irving Goffman's "performance society" theory. Meanwhile, Baudrillard's theories have been another useful theory in advancing this research. Based on the results and theories used in this research, it was found that a huge part of a person's attention in life matters is to create a positive feedback of himself for others. Narcissistic tendencies are present in almost all people, and the fact that such traits are more palpable today comes from the fact that social media, especially Instagram, has become one of the most common and widespread programs, and the features of these media are the possibility of appearing and It has enabled the emergence of phenomena such as narcissism Manuscript profile

        Instagram, with its unlimited freedom and interactivity, has become the most important tool for political participation in Iran's elections. In this article, with the approach of persuasive verbal action of election materials and related issues in this platform, the effectiveness of its election participation has been evaluated. For this purpose, a qualitative method has been done by examining the Instagram contents of the 2020 elections in two principled political spectrums [Fars , Rasaei, Bahar and Yaminpour] and reformists [Ali Nejad, Zibakalam and Tajzadeh] with Atlas TI. For persuasive speech, John Searle uses five affirmative, requesting, expressive, declarative, and obligatory actions, which are the most important persuasive tools in electoral participation. In addition to not entering the election debate on Instagram, the fundamentalist spectrum has used only three actions of request, announcement and expression, and there is no commitment action that indicates a serious involvement in the election to improve the lives of voters. In the area of negative participation, reformist influencers have used four persuasive actions: expressive, declarative, affirmative, and request, which are consistent with the goals of negative participation. The first conclusion is that there is no trace of positive electoral participation [persuasive persuasive speech] in the Instagram content examined by the two political spectrums. The second result of political participation in this article is divided into two categories, negative and positive. The gray layer or passive ones whose criterion is not to vote in this work is known as negative political participation with the characteristic of conscious non-voting. Manuscript profile

        Background: It is noteworthy that the presence of the Celebrities in politics and Instagram pages provides the conditions to communicate directly with the audience. The benefits of celebrity from Instagram have to be creative and intelligent. According to Giddens' theory, creativity emerges with two factors of agency and structure Purpose: The aim of this study is to identify the relationship between the creativity of celebrities and the public policy process. Method: In order to understand the relationship between agency and structure in the emergence of Celebrities creativity, it is highly unlikely that a survey of 384 instagram users following the Celebrities pages would be possible. Conclusion: Respondents say there is an inverse relationship between the agency of the Celebrities and the perceived political problem. The structure and perception of the political problem is reversed, meaning that if the activity of political parties, media, political and intellectual elite decreases, and the presence of Celebrities will increase. But there is no relationship between Creativity in Problem Perception and Solution. At the law implementation stage in the policymaking process, there is a relationship between the effectiveness of Celebrities and law implement. There is a direct relationship between social structure and law implement. The more the function of parties, the media, the political and intellectual elites are used, the more the Celebrities as symbolic capital and the more the tendency of the Celebrities. There is also no correlation between the creativity of the Celebrities and the evaluation of law enforcement Manuscript profile
