The present study aims at exploring a chance to clarify the loss of social identity and the crisis beyond it.

This article explores the intricate interrelationships between discourses on identity and the multiple processes associated with increasing globalization in the modern age. Globalization is not only often exclusively associated with worldwide economic integration and the emergence of a borderless global market but also involves sweeping changes on the social, cultural and political domains. Furthermore, it entails contradictory processes of homogenization and universalization on the one hand and localization and differentiation on the other which has led to wide-ranging changes in the processes of identity formation. Fundamentally, discourses of identity are discussed on individual, subnational, national, supranational and global levels. Attention is furthermore given to the role of the media, information and communication technologies in these struggles and the implications for policy-making within the media and communications sector. So, this paper is trying to explore the interrelations of different levels of identity and measures its influence on the processes of policy-making.

Iran has experienced significant changes in the distribution of employed population of rural areas in major professional categories in the years 1956 to 2006. Accordingly, it is important to study the changes in occupational structure, factors influencing these changes, and their implications. The methodology of this study is documentary and secondary analysis. Moreover, in order to explain why the changes were made, the development plans before and after the Islamic Revolution were examined. Findings indicate that the number of workers in agricultural sector during the years 1956, 1966, 1976, 1986, 1996 and 2006 was 74.3, 61.7, 58.9, 57.7, 49.75, and 43.94 percent, respectively. According to the statistics, there has been a gradual reduction of the number of workers in the agricultural sector. Results also show that the average age of workers in the agricultural sector during the years 1966, 1976, 1986, 1996 and 2006 was 34.3, 37.6, 40.4, 40.5, and 40 years, respectively. The results of documentary studies suggests that oil price upward spiraling followed by the reduction of government’s dependence on agriculture, implementation of the Land Reform Plan regardless of the social and cultural structure of the rural population on one hand, and, on the other hand, the tendency of the governments before and after the Revolution towards mechanized agriculture without the necessary scientific and practical background have been major factors in the irrational reduction of workers in the agricultural sector. Among the most important social and economic consequences of this situation are the aging of workforce employed in agriculture, the decline of agricultural development, the growth of false occupations, and the development of oil economy.

Economic imbalances and social disparities are a common feature of development economies, particularly those which have historical antecedents of colonial rule. The study of regional imbalances is given focus especially to Southeast Asian countries owing to its renewed importance in the global order. Post independent India had to tackle with several problems at the outset, regional imbalance and economic disparities being a major area. West Bengal, heralded as the second best industrial area has faced steep decline in the last decade, owing to the three fold reasons of unplanned government measures, policies lacking vision, along with lack of an ideal industry friendly environment. The worst hit is the North 24 parganas Howrah belt, popularly known as the industrial hub supplying heavy metals. There have been steep backwash effects after two decades of spread effects in this region, which once saw many big scale industries, ancillaries, townships and infrastructure built around them. A case study of Jessop and Company Limited has been done to exemplify the point analyzing the reasons for decline of Industries in WB, the regional disparities of the area vis-a-vis other regions, migration and the socio economic conditions of the Jessop workers at present.

Culture as the philosophy of life refers to the values, norms and rules, and actual behavior which is taken over by man from the past generations, and to leave it to next generation in a different form, separates individuals belonging to the culture from individuals belonging to other cultures. Each of these different attitudes describes the degree to which the culture values the past, the present, or the future. Cultures place emphasis on the events that have happened or will happen during the period that they view as important. In order to be able to describe and understand each of the involved cultures in a specific intercultural situation, three dimensions of culture are worked with: 'the horizontal cultural dimension'; 'the vertical cultural dimension' and 'the cultural dimension of time.

Because the sample in this study is in synchrony with the population, a sample of married couples working at the Red Cross, Social Security Organization and medical universities are selected by convenient sampling technique. Questionnaires are provided after their approval, the sample size is 300 persons. Results show that there is no significant difference in using social networks between genders. There is an indirect significant relationship between using social networks couples’ trust. There is an indirect significant relationship between using social networks couples’ commitment. There is a direct significant relationship between using social networks couples’ dependence. Finally it can be said that despite the positive results of using social networks, they also have negative consequences such as a kind of alienation called living alienation which is emerging. In other words self-alienated and alien self are occurring.

The result shows that the most important factor for segmentation of automobile industries in India in the segmentation process is done largely on the bases of the product type or the price range the product fits into. Considering this researcher did pilot study in order to find out the real parameter of segmentation, the result shows that 13 parameters of segmentation has most effect on customer satisfaction, they are: fuel efficiency, Convenience, After sale service, Durability, Value for Money, Style, Number of seats, Brand Name, Recommended, Previous experience, Parking (size of vehicle), Advertising (TV, radio, newspaper etc) and Price.
