        The purpose of the present study was to investigate structural relations between dimensions of personal and social identity elements and their effects on students of Tehran universities' national identity. The research method was descriptive and correlational. two personal identity questionnaires (Adams), known as "Extended Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status" and a national and social identity questionnaire (prepared by the researcher) were used as research instruments. About 600 university students of Tehran City (17 universities as the statistical population of the research) were examined by these tests and finally, 524 true questionnaires (without error) were registered and analyzed in a data processing system, and then path analysis was used to analyze the data. The results showed that the model had the necessary fit and direct and indirect effects of dimensions of personal and social identity elements were significant on national identity (p<0.01) and considering national identity regardless of the elements of social and personal identity is a reductionist understanding. Accordingly, social policymakers are advised to consider the role of youth personal and social identity bases in trying to strengthen the national identity of students and to take practical intervention to strengthen these components.

        The current crisis of meaning and identity is one of the major concerns for every educational system. Religious identity is one of the aspects of this problem that is highly recognized in Islamic Iran. This paper tries to provide a picture for the concept of religious identity, the role of stories, one of the chief sources of meaning, in its genesis and the consequences of storytelling for religious education based on the narrative hermeneutics of Paul Ricoeur. The Ricoeurian thought shows that religious texts in general and religious stories in particular shape the religious identity. According to Ricoeur, description using narratives, is subject to pure narrativisim and it is necessary to move to explanation step. Although every narrative has its own world, but to explain the religious teachings using narratives, other rival discourses must be considered Manuscript profile

        <p>Due to his truth-seeking nature, man has made a huge effort to convince himself of knowledge, which is the result of these four knowledges: science, art, philosophy and mysticism.

The purpose of this article is to examine the role of human knowledge under the title of emerging spiritualities in creating temporary and spiritual challenges in society. This research, which was carried out by descriptive analytical method and using library resources, seeks to briefly introduce, express the goals and objectives of emerging spiritualities and explain the danger of such pseudo-mystics for the Taliban of true mysticism. mysticisms that have targeted the real power components of society. Also, this article has paid attention to the introduction of true mysticism and the place of man. It must be said that presenting the correct understanding of true knowledge prevents the mystics and apparent mystics from being able to attack the tent of divine knowledge and its Taliban with the white flag of mystical deception, and place their non-mystics instead of mystics in the hearts and minds of the unacquainted Taliban. The results of the research show that behind the curtain of newly emerging religious movements in Iranian society, there are unlucky intentions, the promoters of these spiritualities are unwarranted and deceitful people, destroying beliefs, promoting corruption instead of mysticism, legitimizing corruption and disobedience instead of spirituality are among the actions that the supporters of these movements in They follow between disciples and society.</p> Manuscript profile
