One of the most secure channels of achieving social consensus and solidarity in Iran is the feeling of intimacy and social acceptance among the Iranian ethnic communities and groups. Adopting a socialogical approach, the present study investigates the degree of social distance between the inhabitants of Baneh (who are Kurds) and members of other ethnic communities. In this study, the term social distance refers to the tendency among members of an ethnic community to accept or reject members of other ethnic communities. The tendency encompasses cognitive and emotional dimensions together with preparedness for action an appropriate conceptual framework was therefore designed for the analysis. It reviews the micro - and macro - level perspectives and theories of sociology, social psychology and the existing empirical resources. The results of the interview with the sample which consisted of 399 inhabitants of Baneh, demonstrates that the interviewees feel the least distant from persian/Fars ethnic communities, and the most distant from Arab ethnic communities come first, and Azari, Baluch, Lor, and Arab ethnic communities come next in success on. The research findings show that micro-sociological approaches to the study of ethnic distance in Iran are insufficient. Considering the fact that ethnic distance, and consequently, ethnic interactions in Iran, are influenced by the cultural, social, political and economic atmosphere of the country and the historical developments related to this atmosphere, it is necessary to pay attention to macro-level perspectives and theories, such as Heshter's theory of internal colonialism, which is based on the role of variables such as deprivation, degree of economic inequity and discrimination among ethnic communities, and which emphasizes the formation of ethnic identity and mobilization, and to integrate these perspectives into micro-level theories. The findings of this study demonstrate that social distance exists among the ethnic communities of Iran. The study therefore places special emphasis on the formulation and adoption of an appropriate ethnic policy to reduce such adistance in the country.

Present research was conducted with the objective of the appraisal of ethical growth in persecutive and unpersecutive youth students in shahrekord. The sample of this research was obtained by sampling among the students in guidance and high school. The Data was collected by questionnaire. Eight groups were selected: 15 students contained 13 years old persecuted girls, 13 years old unpersecuted girls, 13 years old unpersecuted boys, 13 years old persecuted boys, 16 years old persecuted girls, 16 years old unpersecuted girls, 16 years old persecuted boys, 16 years old unpersecuted boys. The data was analyzed in descriptive and inferential way. The obtained results from the ethical growth in persecuted and 13 years old unpersecuted youth showed both groups from the ethical growth point of view had not meaningful differences and both put on third stage of the ethical growth of Kohlberg, but persecuted and unpersecuted 16 years old youth showed meaningful difference at the level of ethical growth unpersecuted youth were at the fourth and persecuted youth were at the third step of Kohlberg ethical growth.It was not observed meaningful difference between 13 and 16 years old persecuted youth from the ethical growth point of view, and both were at the third stage of Kohlberg ethical growth step, but 13 and 16 years old unpersecuted youth had meaningful difference at the level of ethical growth. Thus 13 years old were at the third and 16 years old youth had meaningful difference at the level of ethical growth.

This article examines and introduces "discussion" as a way of teaching in university. It argues that one of the causes of inefficiency of academic education in Iran is its non-democratic and non-participatory way of university teaching. One strategy for solving this problem is disseminating and promoting "discursion" as a way of teaching in the universities. This strategy could not only promote and develop the quality of university teaching, but it can also considerably help democratize the society and university system. The first part of the article examines the impact of non-democratic ways of teaching in Iranian universities on the educational processes. The second part of the article introduces "discussion" as a way of teaching and its unmerous social and educational advantages. In the third part, in order to define "discussion", it has been differentiated from other ways of conversations. Then, the social and cultural conditions of "discussion" are analyzed. In the next part various forms of group discussion areintroduced. In the final parts, an attempt has been made to critically examine the applicability of "discussion" as a way of university teaching in Iran. Also, several cultural and educational suggestions have been made to disseminate "discussion" in Iranian universities. The article ends with a brief conclusion highlighting the main points of the article. Methodologically, this study is partly based on my own personal ethnographic experience of studying in Iran and Britain. Also, I have presented and approach of a way of university teaching based on logical and theoretical argument extracted from many educational experiences and studies. The suggestions for disseminating "discussion" in Iranian universities are based on my anthropological analysis and life long experience of Iranian universities.
