Abstract:
Today, the new interactive media have created a special position in the politics world and have provided an environment in which citizens can express their Comments and opinions freely and with no concern about the politics, society governors, and politician’s actions. According to inclusive usage of new social and interactive media by most strata and different age categories of Iranian society, and high amount of time that citizens and especially teenagers and youth spend in this media, the main theory of this research is that the political sociability process has endured different changes. This changes have enfeebled the role and effect of different traditional factors such as family, school, religion...etc. In general, the formal education has weakened in this process and the role of new interactive media has invigorated deeply. In order to survey this theory, studding the documents and available references is used. The Studies about this theory shows that, although traditional factors play an important role in political sociability of citizens yet, but the new interactive media also have strong effects on the political sociability process, much stronger than effects which media have had generally heretofore.
Machine summary:
The main hypothesis of the research was that given the prevalence of interactive and social media among most classes and ages in Iranian society, as well as the amount of time that citizens, especially adolescents and youth, allocate to these media; the process of political socialization has undergone transformations such that the role of various traditional factors like family and school, the institution of religion, and generally formal education in this process has been weakened, and the role of interactive media has been significantly strengthened.
Although the education system, higher education, and the country's cultural institutions have attempted to act in the path of transferring values and political identity to students, university students, and various segments of the population by allocating times for this process; however, reviewing existing research and studies indicates a lack of influence serious existing methods that are provided to individuals mostly through formal education.
"Singer and Brooking" 13 in the book "The Like War 14" (2018), referring to the use of interactive media by Trump and Al-Qaeda, believe that the new space formed through interactive media in the context of the internet is a war zone where Silicon Valley engineers 15 are the operational managers of these wars and can create extensive effects on the attitudes, preferences, and behaviors of individuals; and finally, "Jaron Lanier" 16 (2018) in the book Ten Reasons to Delete Your Social Media Accounts believes that following these media causes individuals to be unable to think and decide correctly, allowing media owners to shape the views and behaviors of individuals however they wish.
Personal, social, cultural, political, and historical changes have a serious impact on young citizens and consequently create generational differences in patterns of political attitude and behavior (Sears and Levy 48 2003).
