Abstract In recent decades, Korean pop music (K-POP) has evolved not only into an entertainment industry but also into a tool of soft power and cultural diplomacy. BTS, as one of the most prominent groups in this genre, plays a key role in promoting the values, cultural identity, and ideology of the South Korean government. As one of the most famous music groups in the world, BTS is recognized not only for their music but also for their social and humanitarian messages. Their invitation to the United Nations and their speeches at the UN suggest that they pursue goals that go beyond mere cultural objectives, following certain ideologies. This study aims to analyze BTS's speeches at the United Nations in 2018 and 2021 using rhetorical criticism from an ideological perspective to uncover their hidden functions and ideologies. The findings of the analysis indicate that through cohesive teamwork and cultural activities, the group has expanded its global influence, while UN leaders leverage their cultural power to establish cultural hegemony, particularly targeting the youth of the global community.

Abstract In society, we see the slogan that (addicts are not criminals, but patients) is scientifically correct, but from the point of view of criminal law, addicts are a disease that is also criminals at the same time, and if this disease is treated, the number of criminals and the titles of criminals produced by them will also decrease. Based on scientific research, addiction treatment alone is not enough and requires simultaneous social and supportive interventions to prevent the return to addiction and crime. So this precedent can explain the context, the necessity and the importance of the present search. In this research, we are looking for a descriptive, analytical, yet comparative approach (with an empirical basis) using a documented and library method to properly understand the behaviorology and causes of the occurrence and emergence of criminal behavioral approaches in drug addicts, which guides us to this point in terms of Science, the minutes of reactions are identifiable. So getting a relative understanding of the current situation leads our research results in this direction, which has been proven in scientific studies that individual-centered knowledge of the individual behavior of addicts can be effective in quitting their addiction, and secondly, the expansion of group behavioral studies of addicts can help to identify the harms and spread environmental preventions to policy makers.

Abstract Citizenship rights and social capital, as two fundamental pillars of sustainable social and political development, have a mutually reinforcing and bidirectional relationship with one another. In Iran, although the Constitution and the Citizens' Rights Charter provide relatively comprehensive frameworks for guaranteeing citizens' rights, existing evidence indicates that the practical realization of these rights has faced significant obstacles. Restrictions on civil and political liberties, weak enforcement guarantees, and the inefficiency of civil and formal institutions have led to diminished public trust and a decline in social and political participation, ultimately weakening social capital.



This research employs a qualitative approach using a documentary-analytical method. Data were gathered from laws and official documents, national reports and social surveys, as well as domestic and international academic sources. They were categorized and analyzed based on indicators of citizenship rights (civil, political, social, and cultural) and components of social capital (trust, participation, cohesion, and civil networks).



The findings reveal that the ineffective realization of citizenship rights has a direct relationship with the decline of institutional and formal social capital. Conversely, strong social capital provides the groundwork for demanding rights, civil oversight, enhancing institutional efficiency, and the better realization of citizenship rights. This bidirectional cycle demonstrates that the persistence of the gap between legal frameworks and implementation reality will exacerbate the state-citizen gap and reduce social cohesion.



The research results emphasize the necessity of revising policies and programs aimed at strengthening citizenship rights, promoting institutional transparency and accountability, and supporting civil institutions and civic education. This is essential to pave the way for achieving sustainable development in Iran through revitalizing social capital.

Abstract In the present era, when social justice has become one of the fundamental concerns of societies, re-examining legal concepts with a comparative approach has become an undeniable necessity; one of these concepts is the "right to social dignity", which has a special place in both Islamic jurisprudence and modern theories of social justice. With the aim of comparative examination of this concept, the present study attempts to explain its foundations, conceptual structure, and implementation consequences in two different intellectual systems using a descriptive-analytical method and a comparative approach. In the Islamic jurisprudence section, reliable Shiite and Sunni sources are examined, and in the social justice theories section, the opinions of thinkers such as John Rawls, Michael Walzer, and Robert Nozick are analyzed. The findings of the study show that Islamic jurisprudence, emphasizing the inherent dignity of man, considers social dignity to be a divine, fixed, and inalienable right, the preservation of which is entrusted to the individual and society through moral and legal duties; While social justice theories consider dignity to be a relative matter arising from social structures, distribution of resources, and equality of opportunity, and consider its realization to be dependent on legal institutions and public policies. The conclusion of the research indicates that combining the moral and divine elements of Islamic jurisprudence with the institutional mechanisms of modern theories can pave the way for the development of a more comprehensive legal system in Islamic societies that is both loyal to human dignity and pays attention to structural justice.

Abstract Social Security, as one of the main pillars of Sustainable Development, plays a significant role in the stability and progress of society. As the main body responsible for ensuring security, the police have a direct impact on social security strategies with their actions. This article examines the role of police performance in strengthening or weakening Social Security and analyzes effective strategies to improve this performance. In this regard, various dimensions of police performance include crime prevention, crime prevention, education and awareness, and cooperation with civil society institutions are examined. Also, the challenges facing the police in ensuring social security, including resource constraints, increased organized crime and the need to build trust with society, have been analyzed. Finally, solutions such as the use of new technologies, increasing public participation and continuous training of police forces are proposed to improve the performance of the institution. Emphasizing the importance of the role of police in Social Security, the article notes the need to pay attention to new and participatory strategies to address future security challenges.

Abstract Women with disabilities experience domestic violence in terms of criminology. On the one hand, due to physical or mental disabilities, they are the favorable siblings of criminals determined to be criminals, and on the other hand, this particular situation exposes them to all kinds of domestic violence. Legal systems, especially those who consider themselves adhering to the approaches raised in international documents and conventions related to the protection of the disabled, have tried to consider the right of legitimate differential defense for women with disabilities who suffer from domestic violence in light of some psychological concepts, especially beaten women's syndrome and post-traumatic disorder, so that this group of women, if faced with domestic violence, can benefit from the privileges of legitimate differential defense and, while resorting to legitimate defense against illicit attack, can also benefit from the rights of legitimate differential defense.they're going to take criminal responsibility. The legal system of the United States and the United Kingdom have valuable experience in this regard, which is discussed in this article. However, the Iranian legal system is in great weakness in this regard, and the appeal of disabled women who have committed domestic violence to legitimate defense in Iranian law is possible only on the basis of general and general rules and regulations, and no specific legal or judicial protection of these women has been done in the Iranian legal system.It should be noted that the type of research present is fundamental, its approach, descriptive - analytical, how to do it, Library study and information collection tools in it are also phishing.
