Abstract
Values are considered the most powerful determinant factor in the cultural and social system of societies and play a crucial role in explaining, controlling, directing and predicting individuals' acts. Therefore, based on the Ronald Inglehart's theory of value transformation, the present paper intends to examine the condition of peoples' value orientation in order to investigate the relationship between social and economical changes and the type of value orientation. The data were obtained from 31 qualitative interview by individuals with the age range of 18 and above in Bandar Abbas. The analysis of the data revealed that 51.6% of respondents had material value orientation, and 41.9% of them have both material and meta material value orientation while only 6.5 % of them have meta material value orientation. Furthermore, the results show that younger individuals, and also individuals with higher education give more priority to meta material values. Therefore, it may be concluded that in the population investigated for this study, people prefer material values because their basic needs have not been fully satisfied. Moreover, it appears that Hormozgan is still experiencing the hard dimension of development and it is still far away from soft dimension of development. In addition, findings of the present study show that there is a relationship between variables such as social trust, social interaction, and universalism and the type of social value orientation.

Abstract
The statistical population of this study is all farmers in Garmsar County, which according to the statistics of the Agricultural Department, the number of them is 5675 people. Of these, 366 people were selected randomly according to the Cochran formula, and information were gathered through a researcher-made questionnaire. The research method is quantitative and we have tried to use the multivariate modeling of structural equation to test the model derived from the theoretical framework of the research. The theoretical framework of research is the theory of peasant subculture and Bourdieu's theory of cultural, social and economic capital types. The findings show that experimental data support the theoretical model based on different types of processing indicators. Also, the assumptions that indicate a meaningful relationship between different types of capital and peasant subculture were confirmed, and those that emphasized the existence of a meaningful relationship between different types of capital and the attitude towards water use in agriculture were rejected. There is also a significant relationship between peasant subculture and the attitude towards water use in agriculture. According to the final result, various types of economic, cultural and social capital indirectly affect the attitude toward water use through the peasant subculture variables.

Abstract
The present study evaluates the economic and social factors in 15 MENA countries during 2010-2016. In this analysis, the canonical correlation method has been used to study the unemployment rate, inflation rate, GDP, internet speed, employment rate, literacy rate, crime, addiction rate, reproduction rate and life expectancy in Mena countries. The results show canonical correlation is significant between selected economic and social indicators in MENA countries in all canonical correlation functions. Special values for canonical functions are 3.33 and 0.1 for the Hotelling-Lawley Trace and the Wilks' Lambda tests, respectively. Also, the first canonical function fits 42%, the second 35% and the third 20% of the canon between economic and social indicators in Mena countries. The total fit of two first canonical functions is 77%. The equations of the standardized focal variables for economic and social indicators show in MENA countries, the higher the unemployment rate, the higher the rate of intentional crime. The increase in the unemployment rate is also affected by indicators such as the increase in inflation and the increase in the literacy rate.

Abstract
Social inequality includes the lack or lack of access of people in human society to equal economic, cultural, educational, health, ethnic, etc. situations and opportunities. Societies suffering from socio-economic inequality are always faced with threats and anomalies, they face social damages and public dissatisfaction in individual and social dimensions. Therefore, the sociological investigation of this phenomenon is essential and considered as the goal of the present research. The research method, in terms of the purpose of the type of applied research, and in terms of the nature of the qualitative research method, has interviewed 20 informants in the named provinces by the phenomenological method and the tool for collecting interview information is unstructured deep, participatory observation and field notes. The research findings show that social inequalities, on one hand, cause poverty and on the other hand, they are the origin of social conflicts and contradictions. Therefore, the most important consequence of social inequalities are the class gap, as the creation of a disturbance in the order and cohesion and social solidarity of a society, which results in a feeling of relative deprivation and a sense of social injustice in people. The themes resulting from the lived experience of socio-economic inequality, which were extracted among the people living in the western provinces of the country, indicate the existence of discrimination and social and economic inequality in these provinces, which the statistics also confirm slow economic inequality leads to a decrease in social participation at the community level. Social inequalities have deepened as a result of global expansion and influence, and with the increase of social inequalities, the phenomenon of underdevelopment has clearly revealed its undesirable side effects.
