School hymn "We are aware of all Iranian children" is one of the contemporary childish poetry that Mohammad Taqi Bahar has written in twenty-one beats and seems to be the first contemporary poem that addresses the principles of national identity in plain language. In addition, the poetry has some other poems that focus on children and adolescents, and a graphic representation of the attitude of the spring to the child's audience. This research is based on the descriptive-analytical method of measuring the six-language linguistic roles in the "school anthem" on the one hand and the poetic feature of the author's language on two axes of coexistence and succession on the other hand, and to explain the reasons for this poem's influence in addition to the ethical-educational implications associated with Jacobson's "verbal communication" theory. In this theory, there are six sympathetic, emotional, sympathy, literary, phrasal and referential functions that have been combined in the context of the selected poetry, encouragement and sympathetic functions according to the subject and the audience, and this continuity in the mind of the child, in addition to the frequency of these two roles Language also depends on specific poetry themes. The focus of ethical functions and educational components is the most important motivation in both inductive and referential functions. Finally, in childishness of Bahar, the three levels of poetry each, in proportion to the type of audience, have been able to use linguistic roles to maintain the relevance of the subject, and, from the three levels of linguistic, literary and intellectual, the intellectual level, most of all, incorporated linguistic functions.

In the present age, the media play an important role in shaping the identities of individuals and communities, in addition to the visualizations, representations and highlights they generate for their audiences. The use of these media incorporates many of the indicators and principles of modern identity and makes it possible to transmit and construct their identities based on modern principles to other societies and humans. The issue of national identity, especially in the border towns of Iran, is of particular importance due to the hypothesis that there is a greater tendency towards ethnic and religious identities, cultural, political and economic deprivation as well as the identity gap of the citizens of these areas with the center. The main issue of this article is the study of the relationship between the development status of this identity among border townspeople with low data and their media consumption, mainly organized in a modern context of technology as well as emerging from modern principles and norms. Therefore, following the discovery of an answer to the question of the relationship between media consumption and modern identity in the border cities of the country and based on the survey data carried out by the National Research Institute in 2017, a descriptive-analytical method is investigated. The results of this study show that: First, the citizens of border towns use social media in particular, and this consumption is partly related to their lifestyle, sense of belonging and, of course, their ethnic identity. Secondly, and on the other hand, their modern identity, although largely derived from their low media consumption, still plays a pivotal role in this regard, as well as the religious or indigenous identity that altogether organizes their traditional identity. Thirdly, given the inclusion of some modern identity indices among this group of borderline settlers, the future of their national and ethnic identities can be explored along with their globalization, as the data reviewed make this highly probable.
