Regarding that political humor was one of most prevalent communicative themes during the presidential election in 2017, this research aims to answer this question that how political humor is used in most politicized period of time. So we chose two virtual communities in Telegram messenger including extreme advocates of two main political parties and analyzed more than 7000 massages of these groups during 30 days up to presidential election in 2017, using the Cyber-Ethnographic method. We have found that humor is utilized in two ways: as a weapon (in semiotic battle and keeping up cognitive distance against opponents) and as a relief (for reducing anxiety and nervous pressure and growing sympathy with insiders). But the main distinction between these groups was implementing Survival humor (laughing at misery) by the reformist one. Also these communicative departure to virtual space has caused changes both in Telegram as a medium (customization based on recipient’s lingual and cultural context) and in logic of politics (because of inherent characteristics of this medium). In fact, we are witness of blending areas (political and nonpolitical, personal and impersonal, sadness and happiness and …).

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.

Few spheres of personal, social, political, and even scientific life have not gone under changes after the advance of the Internet and other information and communication technologies. From the massive areas that have been influenced by the cyber world, our attention is drawn to the humanities and social sciences. The question is, what new conditions social media have created for humanities and social science, and how these conditions have served as a strengthening or weakening factor in the growth and development of these sciences. The range of estimations varies from positive to negative. With the advance of social networks, the vast majority of society, the passive consumer of classical communicational devices, has become the expressive consumer or even the amateur producer. The findings suggest that, In this evolution, two processes of democratization and liberalization of communication and science, as a part of it, have progressed together, with more positive estimates for the first case and more negative for the second one. From an analytical standpoint, we try to corroborate the idea that, as in the real world, these two are going together, although this does not mean to stop trying to increase the benefits nor reduce the defects.

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.

Although many studies have been done on news and linguistics features of media discourse, considering news genres and differences in their linguistics details have been neglected. This genres include political, social, economical, cultural, labor, international, world and science. This research is due to study on linguistics features of sport and social news, considering Van Dijk’s Theory of Ideology (2006) and also their differences is due to be identified, described and explained. By doing so, in the end a model will be represented for selection and representation of news in these fields. The reason for selection of these two fields is the amount of their audience and meaningful difference of their linguistic errors in comparison with other fields. This research has been done by field method and the data has been analyzed by Chi-squared test. Evaluation of efficiency of this model showed that it can be used as source for journalists in these two fields linguistically and considering communication theories. By doing so, journalists, editors and editors in chiefs have a scientific reference and this would lead to optimization of human force who works in media.

Difference and variety are phenomena that have existed since the formation of human societies. In such a situation, Tolerance makes it possible for different individuals and groups to coexist. On the other hand, mass media can exacerbate development and social solidarity by consolidating and deepening religious, national, cultural and historical links. Therefore, considering the widespread use of virtual social networks, and considering that today, different ethnic groups and groups, regardless of geographical boundaries and physical distances, have been able to connect and expand increasingly diverse communications , this research it tries to explain the interplay of new media and ethnic tolerance among the citizens of Tehran.The findings suggest that independent variables, each independently affect the dependent variable of the research, and in spite of the presence of numerous and diverse ethnic groups, the media can, by creating consensus among different groups, as an important factor in maintaining the dignity of individuals Have an effective role in achieving national unity.
