The phenomenon of globalization has variably influenced all societies within the last two decades. Iran is no exception to such a rule. The gradual penetration of globalization process has nearly touched on all aspects of the social life. This paper attempts to investigate the relationship between globalization and women's social identity in the city of Shirāz, the centre of Fars province, and the city of Estahbān, a largely traditional/religious city located also in the Fars province. Theoretically, the paper rests upon Water's ideas, which are actually considered to be a synthesis of Giddens and Robertson ways of thinking on the subject. The findings show that women in Shiraz are generally more influenced by globalization process and thus their identities have been altered as a result. Such a finding further points to the fact that Shirāzi women can be considered to be more profoundly oriented toward the ideas of modernity, therefore enjoying a somewhat more modem, secular and non-traditional identity as compared to women residing in Estahbān.

Cultural and structural evolution of recent decades have led to multiplicity and sometimes conflicts of identity-makers, and the spread of modernization in the global arena. This is performing identity crisis among many strata, especially women. This research was done with the purpose to study the effects of Globalization on Women’ s Social Identity in Bandarabbas City. The population study consists of all women 15-45 years old of Bandarabbas city using Cochran formula, 250 women that belongs to the city were randomly selected as sample. The research methodology was a survey through which data were collected via questionnaire, its validity verified by face validity and its reliability was checked by Cronbach’ s alpha. After collecting the questionnaires, descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. The results of the research in the first step of testing the hypotheses of research showed that the variables of women's use of new cultural goods, the rate of use of information and communication technologies (ICT), and women's attitude toward gender role on social identity had a significant effect on the identity (P <0. 01). However, women's awareness of environmental changes has not indicated a significant effect on women's social identity. Also, there is no significant difference between the effects of globalization on the social identity of women in Bandar Abbas according to demographic characteristics of age, marital status, employment status, and number of children. In addition, the results of structural equation modeling have represented that the empirically measured and structured reproduction model of the effects of globalization on the social identity of women in Bandar Abbas city is in a corrective state of relatively similarity and fit with the theoretical model. In addition, globalization variable has been able to explain and predict 0. 602 of variance and dependent variable changes in social identity of women in Bandar Abbas city.

The aim of the research was to study the relationship between globalization, women’s identity, independence of the family, and women’s lifestyle in Estahban and Shiraz. The research used survey method which was conducted by using questionnaires. The sample consisted of women aged 20 to 45.383 people in Shiraz and 357 women in Estahban (a total of 740 people) were studied. Results showed that women living in cities chose public areas to spend their time, but a significant difference between metropolitan city (Shiraz) and smaller towns (Estahban) was not observed. Women defined their identity as independent from family, and leisure attitudes toward the public space in urban lifestyle were connected. The results also indicated that the relationship between dimensions of globalization and lifestyle existed significantly in both cities. More representation of women in public areas made them look more feminine and had important consequences for cities whose authorities already faced some of them as problems but they have to think more about it.

In recent years, due to expansionof modernismand modernization at a global scale, there have been developments at cultural and structural levels resulting in changes in social roles, women"s awareness. The expansion of education and of employment amongst women have, on the one hand, reduced the utility ofthe traditional model of woman, and on the other have created difficulties in coordinating traditional roles with those required by the modern roles. This would lead to an identity crisis for women. The sole solution envisages that women"s social identity be defined by women themselves. This research studies the factors, which have made women think about their traditional identity, resist the gender stereotypes, and redefine their social identity. The study using the survey method carries out its analysis at two levels, individual and structural. The result of the survey shows that amongst the total factors under study, education has rendered most effects in redefining women"s social identity. Next to education are values, views, life style, and the dominant role identity. Each of these has respectively played a greater role in redefining women"s social identity. In addition, structural position, as compared with individual identity, has had greater effect in women"s redefined social identity. Of the two factors of education and employment, education, which equips women with identity-creating cultural resources, has been more efficient, compared to employment, which renders independence and the necessary material resources, in redefinition of women"s and in helping them resist stereotypic beliefs based on gender difference.

In spite of various interpretation of globalization, it can be understood in the path of periodical evolutions of modernity. Globalization, in its challenge with cultural identities tries to suspend these identities, and give them a new definition in the direction of western history. This essay with studying the major aspects of Islamic Revolution of Iran as a phenomenon that occurred in religious identification direction of Iranians, mention to capacities of Islamic Revolution and its constructed identity discourse that estranges it from internal contradictions of this era (globalization) in establishing a purposive civilization. In order to this purpose, this essay compares different dimensions of Islamic and modern identity paradigms and evaluates their potentials for arising a new age in the human’s destiny. First, the materialistic and secularized ontology of west is inspected in front of monotheistic view that dominates in Islamic Revolution of Iran. Then western discontinuous with oracle epistemology that is captivated in deadlock of relativity has been put in front of epistemology of Islam that is continuous with oracle and Ijtihad tradition. In teleology, capacities of Shia's historical prospect that emerges in the discourse of Mahdaviat will be evaluated in front of different and periodical deadlocks of modernity. At last, western anthropology (humanism) is considered and it is tried to explain the answer of Islamic identity to the question that "Is the human the criteria for everything"? Of course in these fields has been shown the continuity of modern assumptions that are involved in globalization discourse.
