Abstract: (94 Views)
Demanding is considered to be one of the most important skills of humanity in the modern era in order to realize rights, especially citizenship rights. But this issue often seems unfamiliar to the citizens, and in practice, demands, especially of the effective type, have been placed in parentheses. Therefore, the current research was conducted with the aim of knowing the weakening conditions of demand in Yazd city. In order to achieve this goal, qualitative approach and grounded theory method were used. The data were collected and at the same time analyzed using in-depth interviews with 13 Yazidi women. The process of data collection has continued until reaching theoretical saturation. 20 main categories were created during three stages of open, central and selective coding. The braids show the central phenomenon of "devaluation of demanding" in the sense of finding demand useless in the realization of demands. Based on the results, it can be said that a series of individual, structural conditions and factors based on direct and indirect negative experiences of demanding/answering has led to the devaluation of demanding. In the face of the central phenomenon, three main strategies of cautious-reflexive demanding, boycotting demanding and striving for demanding have been used by the activists. Finally, the consequences of such strategies have included various social, economic, and psychological fields and have fueled the failure in effective demanding and the reduction of demanding.
