Abstract
Energy and it overuse is currently considered as one of the most important environmental challenges in the world. Over-consumption of energy sources leads to challenges such as water and air pollution, crisis in depletion of renewable energy resources and thus many governments are trying to change pattern of energy consumption. The main goal of this research is to study the roles of demographic factors, attitudes and knowledge in explaining energy consumption behavior. The study covered a sample of 437 electricity customers under services of the West Mazandaran Power Distribution Company in 2014. The study uses survey method. To calculate the required sample, random sampling method was utilized. Questionnaire was used as the main instrument to collect the required data. Research findings showed that the subjects have expressed optimum level power consumption behavior. In addition, the findings showed that the surveyed people have expressed a rather high level of knowledge about energy consumption. Furthermore, the hypothesis test results showed that among investigated variables, only two variables namely, education and knowledge of energy consumption did not have a meaningful relationship. Finally lack of meaningful relationship between education and knowledge of energy consumption and electricity consumption behavior is explained.

Abstract
The purpose of the present research is to examine the possibilities of intervene and change of the condition of social exclusion of Hawrami people from Souranis. In doing so we benefited from an approach embedded within the intellectual tradition of France (the relational) using Bourdieu's and Silver’s concepts which are based on three paradigms (integration, specialization and the monopoly) to explain the exclusion. The methodology is critical ethnography which focuses on the current situation in society and supports the emancipation of marginalized people. The experience of Hawramis has been investigated in three contextual situations that result from the emigration of Hawramis to the city, leading to the emergence of three discourses in the urban social context. In the context of the first situation, which is characterized by the slow rate of migration and fall of Master-slave system, the problem of exclusion is not problematized yet. The changes after the Iran-Iraq war, expansion of the urbanization, the excess migration, and importance of market and domination of cultural hegemony resulted from relations with Iraqi Kurdistan is the second situation. This situational context is experienced by middle-aged people. The third situation, which focuses on the experience of young people, is characterized by merging in the cultural identity of the city, participation in associations, increased education. The present situation focuses on the homogenous urban-surani identity. Findings of the research show that Hawramis are excluded in the social and cultural spheres as well (as to maintain their distinctions) which is in the social field of their reaction through distinction from the association and intergroup activities (especially lingual-dialect distinction).

Abstract
This article is about celebritization of body which is usually objectifies in body-building and body-representation. The main question is about the
emancipative and repressive of this process. To answer this question, we have relied on a conceptual approach which studies the consumption of bodies and the bodily construction of self in consumer society. We can observe the objectification of this process both in virtual world (Instagram, Telegram, Facebook and so on) and real world (street, malls, parks and other public spaces) especially in women everyday lives. This article studies women in Tehran and some experts in this field. The qualitative method of grounded theory and the technique of deep interview are used to interpret their lived experiences. The finding shows that with the weakening of the elements of civil society in Iran (associations, clubs, cooperative networks, syndicates, movements and public sphere) and the prevalence of consumer culture, the body has become the only reliable capital, the unique source of pleasure and the only medium of communication. Poor self-image, weak economic capital and belief in limited good among women, accompanied with some other cultural context of related to patriarchal society have caused women not to be able to develop feminine autonomous self.
