Being absent in traditional sociological analysis, today the body and the body concept is at the heart of our sociology, social life, and identity self-concept. With the development of modern media and communication technologies, one of the most important challenges in the field of body management relates to the uncertainty of the impact of global forces or local contexts. Drawing on the world-localization approach and based on the Robertson’s, Goddens’s, Fiderstone’s and social acceptance theories, this paper has investigated the impact of modern media use on body management mediated by social acceptance among club women in Noorabad Mamassani. In his research, the survey methodology was used, the data were collected using a questionnaire, and the sample was selected through simple random sampling. According to the results of the research, women mostly used modern media, respectively: knowing about the sports equipment and use of them, search for fitness patterns, and knowing about fashion and clothing (the Internet); the use of fashion advertising networks, watching science, medical, sports, and commercial (satellite) programs. Among the multiple indicators of body management construct, sports and fitness, surgery and beauty of the body and quality of clothing were the most influential indicators. Comparing the impact of modern media (0.81) and social acceptance (0.17) on body management, it can be said that modern media significantly increase women's attention to body management more than social acceptance in different aspects.

This study examines the visual messages Iranian women shares on Instagram in order to perceive how they are represented on the social network. The research applies John Berger’s Ideological approach, and considers every single picture as a report on the users’ view about their personal and social identity. After an introduction about the investigated users, and a general and brief evaluation of their posts, some selected pictures is analyzed based on the ideological approach. Moreover, in the conclusion, we try to connect the research findings to the existing discourses about the women’s role and position in the Iranian society. Based on the Research findings, some pictures indicate a part of female users’ resistance against social pressures to be a normative woman. In return, other pictures show that some users represent themselves consonant with the common social norms and values in their visual narrative about their everyday life, and consequently reproduce and reinforce the hegemonic values of the Patriarchal system they have grown up in.

Based on this, referring to Glirdoneh's views in the field of combating internet hatred, the critical discourse of the pages of four female users active in the field of women was analyzed. To this end, according to Theon E.'s discourse analysis approach, Vandik was considered a special work for recording and extracting information from the text of selected news. The results show that the analysis of the examined posts indicates three types of violence: Against discrimination and patriarchy, against the institution of the family and the traditional role of women, and finally redemption towards feminist and modern values through the lens of destruction, and against traditional values and the attempt to break the cage of traditions. In the overall result of the study of the discourse of the studied pages, it was found that the central signifier is the sum of the studied posts. In the discourse order, female identity is "social". Women must be present in society. The presence of women in society leads to female awareness. Gender equality will occur. Other peripheral signs such as "denial of collectivism", "sexual relations" and "gender equality" form the discourse of female users in the discourse of female identity. This discourse also implies others for itself, often in the form of petrified identities. This discourse also considers Others in the form of patriarchy, inhumanity, sexual dysfunction, polygamy, historical discrimination, etc.

As modern values develop, centralization of the body is ascending. Statistics of cosmetic surgeries and makeup usage vividly clarifies the intensification of paying attention to the body. The term “body as a project” means that nowadays body management has turned into a routine process in order to identify the one’s personality for and unlike the past it does not belong to the elites anymore. Within this process, the media have an influential effect. Alongside the media, the popularity of social networks such as Instagram has led to many social consequences. This research is to discuss the effects of Instagram on body management among women by adopting a survey research method. Statistical population for this study includes women from 15 to 55 years of age who live in districts 1 and 20 of Tehran. the data was collected via a questionnaire. Multistage probability sampling is used to analyze the data gathered. the results suggest the more women use Instagram, the more they care about the idea of body management. Also how they use Instagram would affect the level of the management; this means women who follow celebrities pay more attention to their body. These women are not satisfied enough with their appearance and body. The results prove that there is a strong relationship between the usage of social media and the change in values women in Iran have regarding the body.

The purpose of this study was to develop a model for improving the function of virtual social networks in order to improve the health status of women. The research was applied for practical purposes and descriptive survey was applied. The statistical population included women's health professionals and virtual networks, which were selected according to the Cochran formula. 384 of them were selected by purposeful method. The data gathering tool was a questionnaire. Data were analyzed by SPSS and SmartPlS software. The results showed that ten factors of individual characteristics, family strength, women's awareness, social participation, social networking efficiency, online societies, psychological characteristics, cultural characteristics, social characteristics and macroeconomic factors affect the impact of virtual social networks on women's health. And the three factors of women's awareness (0.802), macroeconomic factors (0.801) and social networking (0.772) have the highest priority and the share of effectiveness. Policymakers need to put their efforts to reduce the social stratum, that is, reducing the inequality of power, social image, income, and wealth associated with different socio-economic situations. Also, solutions such as changing planners 'and authorities' attitudes toward this space and removing the limits of using virtual social networks, removing their negative view of users of these networks, and educating the general public are recommended. It seems that entering mediating variables such as government policies and supports such as a comprehensive health plan can help to better communicate.
