The presence rate of women in parliaments- as the main symbol of women s political participation- has become one of the social and political indicators of development in the world. Now we should consider whether the presence and the role of women in parliaments in the recent decades has increased. Our goal in this study is to recognize the rate and the process of the increased presence of women in different parliaments around the world, and make an assessment in this regard. The result of this assessment can demonstrate the rate of participation of women in political life. Therefore, at the outset, the rate of women s presence in parliaments in the world according to geographical division has been studied. Then the growth process of the presence of women in parliaments- during a period of 12 years - has been considered; and thereafter, the rate of the presence of women in parliaments has been studied according to the history of democracy and development. And also the role of women in world parliaments is another title which has been considered and studied. This research is a documentary research, and analysis the documents (Statistical data) have been considered quantitatively, therefore the information source (websites of different world parliaments and the website of the IPU) was studied and analyzed as numbers. The result of this study showed that the number of women parliamentarians has been increasing during the recent 12 years. This increase includes also the percentage of their presence. However the growth rate of their presence is less than the growth of the number of women parliamentarians. There is a big race between the geographical groups regarding the presence of women in parliaments. Generally the more developed countries and those with more ancient democracy history have won the superior position. A general study on the rate of women s role in parliaments shows that there is still a long way towards the required position. This situation can be generally noticed in all parts of the world.

The present research is a description and explanation of the survey an into the relationship between the lifestyle and social identity of 250 samples of the youth between 15-29 years old in Babol city. This research is done using survey method and the required data is also collected, Extracted and analyzed through questionnaire. The present study is based on the theoretical framework derived from the theories of sociologists, psychologists and anthropologists about identity, and is on the base of Zimel's, Bordio's, Gidens', Max Weber's, Toresten Veblen's and Marx's theories about lifestyle. It should be mentioned that lifestyle as an independent variable consists of using cultural products, leisure activity, body management, nutrition pattern and shopping pattern. Social identity as a dependent variable includes religious, national, collaborative, family and individual identity, which is investigated beside the personal characteristics such as: age, gender and the respondent educational rate. In sociology, there is no explicit and clear understanding of the concept of identity. One of the noticeable axes in the last decades of the twentieth century's sociology was an effort to the modern social relations of the societies, which one of its important axes is to observe the analysis of the state of alteration to the social foundation of identity in modern societies. Contrary to traditional and pre-modern society in which the base of social identity is more relational characteristics, in modern society, "success in producing system" is crystallized into the concept of category and more recent than that, is the type and style of "consumer behaviors and actions" or "lifestyle" which forms the individual and social identities. Thus, if we consider social identity as a collection of different values, beliefs, viewpoints and patterns of social groups' behaviors, this collection is all inferred as a subordinate to a kind of consumer actions. Therefore, new forms of "social identity" appear which are formulated on the base of consuming goods. In this sense, lifestyle is a way of describing individuals' values, viewpoints and behavior (identity).

Giddens's structuration theory is one of the most important synthetically theories in sociology. Giddens provides a rather comprehensive framework for description and analyzing social structure and practice of social agent with synthesizing micro and macro sociological theories.

At the end, we will try to take first steps for using this theory in social research by practical examples.

This article has a cultural anthropological approach to changes in family and kinship relationship in passage of time. Thus, it reviews the ideas of Morgan, Tyalor, Malinovsky and others about family and kinship relationship in order to derive a relatively comprehensive typology of changes in family and kinship according to their ideas.Methodological strategy involves qualitative research. Research method is documentary study. The process of analyzing data is substantial coding, by which some distinct types of family and kinship relationship in terms of time periods is being created. The result of this methodic review of ideas of the cultural anthropologists is a typology in terms of socio-cultural evolutionary periods (Savageness, Barbarism and Civilization). Each period contains two different components: common (historical period, type of society, residency pattern and social organization) and particular (form of family, form of marriage, kinship relationships and division of labour between man and women). The outcome of combining of two components is a 24 cellular matrix of types of family and kinshiprelationship in passage of time.
