This research explains "peace journalism" which is regarded as a new concept in worldwide journalism literature. The main goal of this research will help to explain and promote the level of theoretical literature of peace journalism. To this end, the indicators and values of this kind of journalism are defined to evaluate how much six large circulation newspapers applied the said standards during the war between coalition forces and Iraqi military force. The research is based on the Galtung theory and four main approaches of peace journalism (Solution-oriented approach, Process-oriented approach, Truth-oriented approach and People-oriented approach) and we have added two key principles in journalism: professional and moral standards. The researchers assume that interaction between those four approaches and the two principles could lead to sustainable peace for newspapers. After figuring out and explaining the values and approaches of peace journalism by content analysis, the study shows that the above newspapers didn’ t applied the four mentioned approaches. In fact, the newspapers paid more attention on people-oriented. Having cultural proximity with Iraq, the Iranian newspapers used people-oriented approach during the war. In other word, the six daily papers just reflected the “ innocence of Iraqi people” during the war and the other war dimensions were less addressed by them. Thus, these newspapers had not any correspondent in Iraq to coverage the war news; instead, descriptive reports, analytic and investigative reports were published.

Kant has discussed the subject of culture for the highest good of the human being which expresses man's desirable perfection in the midst of virtue and happiness which is its ultimate goal of him. He previously presented an abstract and ideal concept of the highest good in the second critique that it was based on God's help. In the third critique, he uses the concept of culture to show the concrete aspect of the highest good which two components of it are discipline and skill. these two are the virtue and the happiness respectivly. The concept is based on human automomous struggle and activity and it will be realized as a social aim through the human subject. According to Kant, the greatest emergence of culture is reasonable freedom. Reasonable freedom involves inner freedom which observes morality and exterior freedom which observs social happiness. Growth and development of reasonable freedom in the human race and throughout history and over generations will lead stubbornness of reason over the world and domination of the culture of freedom.

This paper aims to explore the characteristics and themes of broadcasting media policy in Iran from Islamic revolution(1078-1979) until the present time Broadcasting media policy is a subset of media policy and public policy as the umbrella concepts. Laws, regulations and legislations are the main means of reinforcing public policies by governments and governmental branches to deal with any kinds of public matters, such as the public service broadcasting systems. Accordingly, all the ratified laws and regulatory documents concerning broadcast media in Iran are collected as the research materials. To analyze these empirical data, qualitative content analysis and thematic coding are applied to explore the main themes of broadcasting media policy in Iran. The results indicate that rigid state ownership, promoting political and cultural discourses, unification, using state-secured budgets, focusing on mass audience, and developing air broadcasting technology have been the core themes and characteristics of broadcasting media policy paradigm in Iran during the past four decades. Discussing these themes, research findings indicate that in the given time horizon, the government has always reinforced regulatory policies for broadcast media to impose limitations and restrictions on possible broadcasting activities of different actors. Moreover, findings show this policy model has been continuously reinforcing with the least changes in Iran, while the first paradigm of policy attempt for broadcast media based on the monopolization by the state-funded broadcaster belongs to the years prior to the 1980s in most countries.

environment by some researchers in different fields such as poster, urban painting, etc. This psychological pattern can also be found in the context of the Islamic layout, especially the Qur'anic manuscripts. Gestalt theory is a collection of visual principles and rules, one of which is called the "shape and field" law. The Qur'anic version of the Qajar period, registered in the 3089, due to the richness of its designs and the quality of its work of illumination, is very important and appropriate for further studies. This research studies how to understand and recognize the visual patterns in the elements of Quranic Illumination using the concept of shape and background of Gestalt's laws. This research has been conducted in a descriptive-analytical way to answer this fundamental question: What is the basis and structure of the decorating of the coronation of the Quran according to the rules that form the principle of the form and the field of the principles of the psychological theory of Gestalt? The analysis of the elements used in the study of this exquisite Qur'an and the study of visual structure and its elements, based on the law of the form and the field of gestalt, characterizes the strength and strength of its composition.

In the last two decades with quantitative growth of "Serious Games", their quality also have been considered by researchers, designers, audiences, teachers and administrators. The quality of these games in addition to storytelling, graphics and technology depend on applying educational principles so that the games can lead the gamers to obtain educational goals while preparing a fun and motivational environment. The aim of this study is determination of quality evaluation "serious game" indicators based on constructive learning principles and evaluating six selected game with this indicator. In order to determine the "serious game" quality evaluation indicators, 30 educational game experts participated in check list completion and signed 29 items around four factors including interaction, problem solving, active learning and discovery. Six popular games were selected and analyzed by six educational technology experts and six ICT experts. The results show that in these games, the average of 136 interactions, 139 problem solving, 89 active learning and 82 discovery situations have been provided. Also Shannon entropy indicated that discovery indicator with. 0999 information bar and 0. 572 importance coefficient has the most emphasized and active learning indicator with 1 information weight and 0/087 importance coefficient has less emphasized.
