In recent years, the focus on professional ethics and behavior has been recognized by organizations as a necessity. Addressing the state of professional ethics in the field of public relations activities whose scope includes action, emotions, emotions, and in a word of public opinion, demonstrating the high importance of public relations, from the perspective of Inside and outside the organization, consider and reflect.The method of study in this article is Thematic content analysis of books and public relations and communications research. It should be explained that since no research on professional ethics in public relations was found in the searches, the authors of their research were excluded from articles on corporate ethics and organizational communication that included the performance of public relations organizations. Also, consider.It should be noted that the issue of professional ethics in the field of public relations has been looked at from the perspective of internal and external organizational relationships. The findings of the article show that from an external organizational perspective, public relations must respect honesty, trustworthiness, and truth, which are the basis of an ethical relationship, in order to reach the boundary of sustainability in public opinion. Along the way, non-compliance with professional ethics and behavior is also considered a threat to the organization's death. Research into the professional ethics of organizations has emphasized the need to avoid secrecy and focus on the principle of honesty in public relations. From the intra-organizational perspective, the findings also show that organizational structure is one of the factors influencing professional ethics. Other findings found in this study include less attention to ethical climate and professional ethics in organizational environments and discrimination as a major obstacle to achieving organizational goals.

In this way, the issue of the representation of public attitudes to the clergy in Iranian cinema has been studied in this article. Hence, three related movies "Under the moon light", "Marmoulak", "Gold & Copper" were analyzed with Qualitative content analysis method. The results of this study show that there are three categories for public attitudes to the clergy in the samples: positive attitude, negative attitude, and the elements of attitude change (persuasion and Cognitive dissonance). The negative attitude to the clergy is represented frequently as prejudices and stereotypes. Main Themes represented in this field are summarized in these terms: Clergymen have achieved great power and wealth after the Islamic Revolution in Iran; instrumental usage of the cleric clothing by clergymen; Keeping out from the context of society; and clergymen are traditional.

Mass media as a medium of communication in today's world have a lot of functions. The communication factor has institutionalized the role of values in society and through the exchange of information between the current generation and its transmission to future generations, has a vital role in culture and establish a common feeling among people and communities. National identity as the highest and the greatest level of specificity in the countries is affected by the media. The main function of identity through formal training was done in the past but now, according to the data transfer rate and media information, media have an important role in the development or modification of national identity and media consolidate or change the national identity. So media which are used by governmental and non-governmental actors are in line with the interests of the actors as a positive or negative factor in the development of national identity. Thus, mass media affect the elements of national identity by strengthening or weakening it. The results of the research suggest that the impact of the media on three indicators of the national identity - its elements, principles and position- is tremendous impact, positive or negative.

The revolution that occurred around the new information and communication technologies has led to a technological paradigm shift from industrial technology to information technology. While the above-mentioned technologies today are the most important factors of production, competitiveness, economic growth and presence in global markets, by strengthening the world-oriented centrifugal forces, actors and many other activists, they have become the most important means of challenging territorial political boundaries, marginalizing absolute governments, as well as undermining national sovereignty, and changingthe culture of global security to national security. The present study seeks to portraythe security discourse dominating the cold war periodfocusing on the two factors of security environment and behavioral patterns of actors, and internalizedpoliticalassumptions in that era in order to investigate the current security discourse and illustrate the changes in operational environments of governments resulting from information and communication technologies. By so doing, the ineffectiveness of propositions and key assumptions of hard security discourse of the cold war will be portrayed and the paradigm dominating the current security studies will be identified

As the size and complexity of today’s most modern cinema and TV increase, different approaches regarding different religions are presented. Since, on the one hand, cinema and TV Series of the United States are one of the most controversial, popular, as well as professional ones, and on the other hand, Islam is considered as a religion which its popularity is rapidly growing, this study aimed to find out instances of Islamoromia in the Hollywood TV Series (case of Homeland). Applying the methodology of semiotics and five channels which Christian Metz has argued in analyzing a cinematic work, the present paper applies the theory proposed by professor Saied Reza Ameli in his extensive four volume set “Bibliographical Discourse Analysis: The Western Academic Perspective on Islam, Muslims and Islamic Countries (1949 – 2009)”. Ameli has offered 15 meticulous elements and characteristics of those academic works which revolved around Islamoromic issue. Those elements are applied in semiotic analysis of Islamoromia in Homeland TV Series (3rd season).

The present study examines relation between media types and consumerism. We studied 358 participants above 18 years of age from Tehran city by survey method.
In this research, the impact of “the use of media types”, “the use of program types”, “Iranian following media reference group” and “foreigner following media reference group” on “consumerism” were considered.
Results indicate that, in the media types, “satellites” and “internet” have the most effect on consumerism. In the types of media programs, “dance” and “music” show the most effect on consumerism. Therefore, “Iranian following media reference group” doesn’t have significant effect on consumerism. But “foreigner following media reference group” shows significant and increasing effect on consumerism

Postmodernism is a result of the convergence between the philosophical turn in approaches to the nature of aesthetics and the increasing flow of media in today’s world. It can be suggested that media is both a cause and an effect of postmodernism. On the other hand, media depict, both directly and indirectly, association and transformation of phenomena. As such, media is a powerful critical tool which can scrutiny everything (even itself) with critical eyes. Media is able to create surreal and imaginary visual settings, an ability which enables it to fulfil aesthetic needs of the postmodern philosophy for creating illusions of reality and producing meta-realities. The present paper aimed to study how cinema, as a visual medium, is used to depict failures of postmodernism in the area of urbanism. Several two-dimensional matrixes were therefore designed, whose dimensions included critical formal aspects of the postmodern city and formal elements of cinema. The final matrix presents a visual conception of postmodern urban themes and systematically illustrates different critical aspects of the postmodern city as depicted in cinema. The paper also suggests that imagination and business, as two aspects of postmodern urbanism, have been depicted more than other aspects and that function, similarity and repetition, and difference and variation were used more than other formal elements.

We witness urgent changes in technology and complexity of the environment complexity in the third millennium. In such conditions and considering the advantages of new technologies and modern equipment, organizations know how to use these technologies so as to survive and increase their efficiency in such competitive world. However, we still witness abuse (cyber loafing) of these new technologies including internet that has recently caused many problems and damages. The most important step in this regard is to study and identify factors effective in cyber loafing and ways of preventing this phenomenon. The aim of this study is to specify the causes and consequences of cyber loafing in airlineagencies located in Tehran and to make suggestions for reducing cyber loafing cases. The methodology is qualitative (grounded theory) and the data arecollected through interviews and papers. The presented model in the research is a Paradigm Model. The results show that individual, organizational, environmental/external factors are among the reasons which play an important role in cyber loafing.

The modern and intermediary science of media philosophy has been considered in countries like Germany and USA by philosophers, sociologists and media researchers since somewhat 10 years ago. The idea that this science has naturally arisen out of other scientific branches or it is a composition of several sciences in order to satisfy some expectations requires another research. Like many other similar sciences, and because of collapsing the limitations of a science in the modern science, the identity, the nature, the method and the scope of issues of this science are completely vague and also are very numerous. Though maybe it seems very soon to speak about reorganizing a young science like the modern science, this article, nevertheless, tries to answer the question mentioned in the title, hopping to be useful in removing some ambiguities.

This study examines the factors associated with the contents of immoral or pornographic contents in Internet groups. The research method is survey and the tool was Internet questionnaire. All the users of internet pornographic groups have been our statistical community. The questionnaires have been sent to users’ emails and 115 users have submitted their answers to the researchers. The findings show that the most members of this group are single men with a mean age of 26 years, which have a bachelor degree and are employed. The weekly average visits are 7.13 times, 80 percent of them are interested in pornographic subjects and 82 percent are satisfied with the porn contents. 60 percent of the users were not monitored by their entourage. The results showed that age, education, satisfaction with the contents, and interest in pornographic subjects were directly and significantly related to the amount of visits to the groups. The average visits to the groups were higher among men, singles and unemployed. Finally, the amount of satisfaction with the pornographic contents, the level of monitoring, and being member in other groups, have a significant relationship with the number of their visits to the groups.

Aim of this article is to bring to light the grounds and the origins of film narratives, namely its possibilities and necessities. Film narratives as the work and behavior of human being is necessarily originated in and grounded on the essence and the mode of his Being. In this article from the viewpoint of care of Being, that is, one original characteristics of human beings, and regarding to Heidegger's general thought of Being as such, essence of human being, and truth or unconcealment, has been tried to explicate the necessities and the possibilities of narratives as language, the necessities and the possibilities of cinematic montage on the basis of indeterminate presence and concrete acquisitions. Finally, researching the narratives from these three viewpoints, it will be shown that the care of Being as the primordial essence of human beings that cares truth or unconcealment of entities and Being, is the origin and ground of film narratives as the human beings' behavior, that is, if the care of Being that necessitates Mitsein [being-with] and accordingly the language as such, and also necessitates concrete acquisitions which are essential in order for human being and other living beings to remain constantly as what they already are, was not the essence of human being then the cinematic montage and editing would not be possible at all

Modern media art is one of the artistic development appeared in the context of contemporary arts. Appearance of contemporary arts became possible through departure from components and intents of the modern arts, among which emphasis put on the artist's subject was the most important component and contemporary arts were seeking to modify it. Finally, subject-centeredness of the modern arts led to abstraction and autonomy of arts; but the current of contemporary arts which was a critical reaction to the modernist arts, paved the way for arts to become heteronymous. Among consequence of this heteronomy, we may mention the dependence on global media of arts so that media influenced arts more than all other components, and caused the artist's subject in the contemporary arts to be weakened and then eliminated in the modern media art.

The aim of this paper is analyzing authenticity from Heidegger's point of view and the role of internet on student's authenticity. And reply these questions: what’s the is the authenticity meaning in Heidegger philosophy and what is the internet role on the student’s authenticity? Heidegger explains the situations that in them Dasein becomes inauthentic. Heidegger states that curiosity, idle talk and absorbing in "they self" are some examples of inauthenticity. By conscience and silence, Heidegger mentions, Dasein can save himself from falling.Internet can frame thoughts and ideas by storing and distributing information in wide scale and their representation. Internet can Stimulate curiosity and reduce caring about self and individuality and cause shallowness. Although it may help individuality because of some freedom that has. Existence anxiety that is consider in authenticity would reduce on cyber space.

Based on Ronald Robertson's global-localization theorem, the current research in the globalization paradigm examines the local and international advertisement appearances of popular Khanevadeh-y- Sabz Magazine. This research, contrary to the economic oriented studies of advertisement, deals with the cultural function of commercial advertising through cultural studies approach and analyzes the latent and overt cultural meanings of advertisement. The research uses quantitative content analysis methodology and qualitative methodology of semiotics to cover the gaps of each method. Quantitative and qualitative studies on the commercial advertisement of Khanevadeh Sabz magazines with the aim of representing local and international notions in advertizing texts show that the signs and codes of local culture and non-local cultures are collaborative and non-unilateral; a new identity that does not fully correspond to native culture, but is a product of ‘native-global’ culture.

Islamophobia (or more precisely ‘unfounded fear, prejudice and discrimination towards Islam and Muslims’) through social, economic and political deprivation has harmful effects on Muslims’ everyday lives. Media are the most prominent tools to reach this goal. Some analysts even believe that “western media” are the primary sources of Islamophobia. So this is so prominent to analyze the role of media in relations full of hatred and contempt between these two great civilizations (Islam and West). In the introduction of this article, we’ll refer to the impact of media on public opinion, media from postmodern perspective and media’s dependency on politics and ideology. After that, two important theoretical frameworks (representation and frame), different constraints of news organizations which contribute to skewed and distorted news, and lastly the main problem of this research i.e. “The role of media in contemporary Islamophobia” will be discussed

Given the importance of media literacy, which has been considered in the field of policy-making in recent years, and given the multiplicity of decision-making institutions and policy-makers in this field in Iran, this is facing various challenges. The present study was conducted with the aim of analyzing the challenges and capacities of media literacy policy in Iran. While interviewing officials and experts in four effective institutions in this field (Supreme Council of Cyberspace, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance and the Radio and Television Organization) through snowball interviews, seeks to answer the question that What policies have the media literacy institutions in Iran developed and implemented to promote media literacy in Iran?Findings show that due to the multiplicity of decision-making institutions in this field, there is no clear distinction between media literacy education and culture in this field and imbalances in planning lead to unsuccessful policies. Accordingly, it is necessary to designate a supra-institutional body (such as the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution) as a policy reference in this field and to make policy in all areas (including education and culture, etc.).
