Read More The need to attend to the existing literature in the realm of social sciences and cultural and social management as well as the philosophical, jurisprudential and theological sciences in the realm of religious thought may give birth to a new approach; the approach which can be understood under a monotheistic paradigm. Such an approach may assist us in introducing a new interpretation of the social concepts. Despite the fact that institutionalization of value indicators in the society is subject to different cultural habitat variables various already studies made in this respect show that institutionalization of such variables as social confidence within the religious cultural and educational group is more prevalent as compared with other groupings. Since the day of yore, the scholars of the social sciences have been seeking to establish an ideal state or utopia or ideal community as a community in which all social and national affairs are in the process in its best manner. In the ideal community it is better if all members voluntary play their deserved roles actively. In the ideal community all actors are actively involved in the actions based on the social rules and regulations. Such a process in the literature of human sciences can be interpreted by use of the social capital variable. If we go through the religious literature we find the principle of the promotion of virtues and prevention of vices as the closet concept to our discussion. The present paper in fact is seeking to define and interpret such a relationship. This paper introduces the relevant techniques for resolving the problem and wishes to present a cognitive model by use of the relevant intellectual properties. it also intends to use the modern rationalism as an instrument within an intra-religious thought with the purpose to open a new chapter for conceptual development of the indigenous literature. To this end we discuss the social capital and present a cognitive model for institutionalizing a certain dimension of the religious social thinking.

Read More The establishment of the European internal market has involved the cinematographic sector as a result of its economic nature. However, film, as a cultural medium, does not lend itself easily to the trends towards uniformity, inherent in the process of economic integration. This becomes visible in the relationship between national cinematographic legislation, reflecting cultural values, and the free market philosophy pursued within the European integration process. There seems to be a contradiction between national measures, which seek to correct the workings of the market, and the efforts to establish a European common market for audiovisual goods and services. This situation has been further complicated by the introduction of Article 151 into the EU legal order by the Maastricht Treaty, which recognised protection of cultural values as one of the EU constitutional tasks. However, it happened without calling into question the acquis communautaire on cultural matters. As a result, the audiovisual policy at the EU level is characterised by a contradiction between the economic logic of market integration and the goal of preservation of cultural diversity. The inherent conflict between these two objectives becomes very clear when looking at the development of the European film policy. This policy agenda creates an amalgam of two not easily reconcilable aims: promotion of cultural diversity and establishment of an internal film market. This horizontal tension is exacerbated by the clash between the European competition policy measures affecting the film sector and the national cultural policy considerations, which demonstrates how controversial remains the vertical power sharing within the EU. The aim of this paper is to investigate, on the basis of the European Commission policy documents and practice, these two-level tensions within the framework of the European film policy and draw conclusions for its future sustainability.
