The identity of a society is a tool for distinguishing different nations from each other based on a common concept or predetermined concepts. The strong sense of identity can be considered as a social capital. In addition, social capital and social identity are the result of tangible social relationships, which are understandable by the society. They Also have strong affects on each other. With respect to this relationship, this paper verifies the relationship between identity and social capital. The data were gathered from the world values data of 70 countries according to the definitions of the variables. The results by logistic regression showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between social identity and social capital.

The number of internet users is increasing in Iran every day. Due to special characteristics of the internet, it is effecting many aspects of our everyday life. One of these aspects is interpersonal communication. The internet users experience a new from of communication relatively free from their real life hegemonic values and norms. One of the most important communicative means is language. The names, which are chosen by members of a society for naming things, other people or themselves, are an important part of each language. Choosing a name should follow social rules that legitimate some names or forbid the others. The first step when entering the virtual world and chat rooms is choosing a name by the user.
This article is concentrated on the names that are chosen in the chat rooms by Iranian users. Through this research, we aimed to make clearer the rules, desires and wishes that the name owners follow to choose their name.
In this research, Pierre Bourdieu’s Idea about language, Erving Goffman’s theory in representation of self and Dramaturgical theory were used. In addition, “public sphere” presented by Jürgen Habermas was applied to describe some aspects of the internet enviroment as the context of acting.
To find an answer for our research question, more than 600 nicknames were chosen. To analyze the names, qualitative content analysis method was used. Finally, the nicknames were categorized and a typology of the nicknames was presented. Then, we tried to explain each category with suitable theory. We found that nickname
owners try to represent themselves as acceptable and pleasant for their audiences through the choice of their nicknames. Indeed, sometimes they mock real world norms, values and relations through choosing unusual or funny names.

Then, after remarking the three levels of analysis, we separately introduced the main variables of each explanation. Finally, we mapped their schema in detail and synoptically.

Today’s study of the common effect condition on color revolution in target countries is one of the important issues on political sociology. In this paper, we used the John Stewart Mill’s method for finding the common cause factors. These factors are social movement, civil institutions, political culutres in societies, structures, national and international situation of government and hegemony power inventing. They have an important role in the of achievement color revolution.
In this paper, we used new social movement theories, mass public behavioral theories and revolution theories through comparative analysis of the most important factors in color revolution on target countries. Then we compared the same factors in the condition of Iranian society.
The results indicated that Iranian society suffers for the following: miss trust, lock of team work behavior, weakness of civil institutions development, incomplete modernization expeperience, and lack of preparedness for accepting the structural changes. Also, due to lack of strong opposition power and other factors, the probability of color revolution in Iran is very weak.

Social trust means more people in your life trust to each other. But the scope and radius of this trust do not have fixed form, therefore, we have two forms of trust: particular trust and universal trust. In this paper, after designing of the problem, the conceptual and theoretical dimensions of trust, radius and range of social trust were inquired. Then with considering the variables of objective participation, generalized trust, reciprocity, sense of social security and optimism that constitute conceptual and empirical models of this essay, the subject were explained. 18 years old and above residents of Kashan city make the population of this article. After selecting a sample of this population by survey and technique questionnaire, the data were collected and analyzed. The results of this study showed that the radius and range of social trust in Kashan are located at an intermediate level. There is significant relationship between the independent variables of conceptual model and dependent variables. The variables entered the equation can have a good predictability, showing that the scope and radius of trust can be developed as they are improved.
