        The emergence of the international system since the collapse of the Soviet Union has brought analysts to issues of politics and power to the increasing importance of culture and its political role. Due to the impact of the Global Geocaching System on Ethnic Interactions, the author of this paper, using a descriptive-analytical approach and library studies, aims to analyze the 21st Century Global Geocaching System and its impact on Southwest Asian societies.

        Citizen and citizenship are relatively new terms in the field of sociological and political studies. The citizen is always defined in a reciprocal relationship; He is a person who, on the one hand, has political and civil rights and, on the other hand, has duties under the law in question. Social movements are defined as a collective effort in which individuals achieve predetermined ideals. Social movements are organized for specific purposes and by informal institutions. Of course, in Shahnameh, the word citizen is not mentioned. Ferdowsi in some cases uses the word urban versus soldier to distinguish civilians from military. However, based on the evidence presented in the current study as well as the definition of citizen in sociological and political science culture, the word Iranian refers to Iranian citizens in the Shahnameh. The two selected movements (one from the epic part of the Shahnameh and the other from the historical part) testify to the robust presence and full participation of Iranian citizens in social movements for the realization of justice and law. This research has been done analytically and descriptively using library and electronic resources. Manuscript profile

        One of the most important dimensions of quality of life is safety and environmental health. Today, the issue of the environment has gained an important place in the public sphere and discourse or public opinion, and environmental movements have become one of the most important and strongest social movements and have had an impact on the decision-making process. These movements have been able to have decisive effects on other actors and on decisions, despite being very limited in terms of material power sources. The main goal of these movements is to develop environmental discourses and link environmental issues to societies that have achieved significant success in this way. In general, the theoretical debate about social movements has been significantly highlighted since the 1960s. The growth of the theoretical debate about how to understand and recognize social movements was a reaction to the growth and expansion of these movements within developed societies. The role of social movements in influencing environmental policies is significant and these movements have many abilities in this field. The attention of most governments, organizations, researchers and scientists has been drawn to the role of these movements, and this means the influence of social movements on environmental policies.

          Social movements as one of the most important collective actions in order to response to their new needs and demands design dialogues, purposes and ideals which requires change in the structure of social systems. According to Hans Tak one of the most important components of social movement is actors and social forces which new demands caused them to come to existence and in order to provide them; they coordinate with other community groups and social movements and form social movements. These forces and actors divided into three groups of leaders: those who engage in the development and distribution of the ideology to other groups and layers and their followers and supporters. Constitutional Movement in Iran during the Qajar era is one the most important social movements of recent century that such talk on the role and impact of social actors and the historical significance of their presence in these three sectors are verified. Developers of movement are leaders of groups such as Modernist intellectuals and religious Mojtaheds. Distributors of movement are media, journalists, orators, preachers, shopkeepers, traders, and also, supporters and adherents that are primarily made ​​up of different layers of society, include women, youth and small businesses. This pattern can be reviewed with emphasis on the role of the social forces as a model to evaluate the success or failure of social movements.

        AbstractUsing descriptive-analytical research method and with the help of reliable historical sources, this research has raised the question: to what extent and how were the Qarmatians able to establish social equality among the masses? In answer to this question, it should be said that the ideological approach of some scholars and the neglect of the various dimensions of the Qaramat movement have led to the ignorance of the fact that only in a part of the Qarmatians' activity did egalitarian thought come to the fore in a limited way. And the extremism and secondary inefficiency of Qaramata and the destruction of their image in the Islamic world prevented the implementation of a policy of social equality on a large scale. In fact, the misconceptions of Islam scholars about the democratizing aspect of the Qarmatian society are based on the notion that it has raised the issue of taste and assimilation and, in general, a lack of sufficient and deep understanding of the Qaramteh dissident movement.

        Nowadays, collective action and new social movements are modern phenomena which have derived from urbanization, the development of economic relations, new values, expectations and new social activities. Confrontation between the government and new social movements is usually manifested in urban areas, and because of government control, can become a protest movement or revolution.

        Popular movements in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Yemen, and Bahrain have highlighted the importance of paying attention to public opinion in a sheikdom. Globalization and the globalization of democratic processes have made authoritarian rule more expensive. When they are faced with internal and external pressure to maintain democracy, authoritarian regimes usually do not comply with it and try to reestablish their elements at the helm of the country. From this perspective, the Islamic Republic's security interests require it to use its political, cultural, and security levers to achieve the ideals of Islamic movements in Muslim countries, including Bahrain and Yemen. Due to the initial obstacles to statebuilding in Yemen and Bahrain, strengthening the fundamental impetus to nation-building could turn the popular Islamic movements in those countries into an efficient political system in the long run. Movements, the elements of previous governments, the power blocs that benefited from the former regime, and the interventions of foreign powers are among the main obstacles to systematization in Yemen and Bahrain. In what ways can the Islamic Republic of Iran contribute to the establishment and maintenance of the political regimes in Bahrain and Yemen? By providing state-building and system-building experiences at the domestic level and by supporting governments formed at the regional level (political balance and stability), the Islamic Republic can contribute to the survival of the new governments in Bahrain and Yemen. In this study, the research method is descriptive-analytical and to answer the research question, Manuscript profile
