Abstract: (959 Views) |
In recent years, almost all existing writings have referred to the new middle class as a class that promotes Western culture and values, and the writings have tried to convince the authorities not to insist on the religious values of the system. Therefore, it was decided to accurately portray the revolutionary part of the new middle class in this article. The method of this research is a combination of the author's participatory observation and historical analysis using existing documents and evidence. This research has shown that in parallel with the quantitative growth of the new middle class, the revolutionary part of this class has also grown, so that our academic community is faced with a new middle class that is revolutionary. Factors such as the revolutionary nature of the religious, the imposed war, criticism of the West, observing the progress after the revolution, continuous meetings with the leadership, the rationalist culture of the Shiites, the manifestation of nationalism in the religious, and the observation of the identitylessness of the Westerners are among the main factors in the creation of the religious middle class. |
