The present study aims to explain the process of political development in the Islamic Republic and the role of social classes in this process. This article tries to answer the question that which political class has played a major role in the political development process among the social classes in Iran? And why this new middle class among social classes can be op e rational with the political development process? These are the most important research questions. In response to questions raised above, the hypothesis which is constructed is that it seems that the new middle class, among social classes in Iran, has the most important role in the process of political development in Islamic Republic of Iran with an emphasis on factors such as rights and modern institutions, law and parliamentary elections, freedom of the press and etc. The theoretical frame work for class analysis is based on the opinions of modernization scholars. In the present study a descriptive approach is utilized and social classes is regarded as the independent variable and the process of political development as the dependent variable. The results show that new middle class uses the lower class (class three) affection as a pressure factor, because of its special status and uses the higher class (class one) intellect as a compromise factor and manages the growing social momentum. That's why the process of political development, distribution and more accurate political authority and institutionalization of democracy, plays a major role.

And finally investigate the challenges and opportunities created by the increasing use of social media.

Sustainable tourism development as a paradigm, is the result of several lines of thought began nearly three decades ago. This paradigm is based on the assumption that "smaller is better". But this assumption is questionable in a world of change and uncertainty of today's conflicts. Sustainable tourism and ecotourism are often associated with dependence on natural environments. Development of systems thinking has led to new insights and more on tourism and will be continued in the future and question about the ability of sustainable tourism remains open and the advancement of knowledge will get more controversial. In general criticism of sustainable development can be divided into four categories: the criticism that has been leveled to the ambiguity in the definition of this concept. The criticism of small scale. Green laundering and sustainability claims issues and finally the distorted facts. One of the fiercest critics of sustainable tourism development is Brian Wheeler, and researchers like him such as, Butler, Harrison, Sharply and Weaver. Their critical work has been reviewed in this study.
