Abstract

Introduction: The twentieth century has attracted the attention of many researchers and policymakers in terms of the volume and extent of violence and oppression. Social inequality is one of the social issues that, if intensified and learned, endangers the cohesion of society. As a multicultural land, Iran is exposed to violence and inhumanity if it does not provide favorable social conditions for dialogue and understanding. This article seeks to explore and interpret sociology and the subjects' interpretation of the analysis of social inequality.
Method: Using the paradigmatic approach of Strauss and Corbin, And considering that the present article seeks to understand and define social infertility from the data obtained from knowledgeable subjects (graduate and doctoral students and university professors), therefore, purposeful and theoretical sampling has been adopted to achieve it. The study used a semi-structured interview technique to gather information. Data saturation and theoretical saturation and adequacy of sample size were obtained with 21 interviews. Categories and concepts were extracted from the text of the interviews using open source coding and then central coding. These concepts of open coding, re-categorized and re-combined, and finally adopted by selective coding, with the construction of conceptual discipline and the connection of the main categories in the form of Strauss and Corbin paradigms, and a paradigm model that was achieved. Be able to identify important elements and factors in explaining the phenomenon in question and finally connect them to each other.
Results: The present paper, with the aim of interpreting social ineffectiveness, achieved a paradigm model that interprets the mentality of actors regarding the conditions, strategies and consequences of social inefficiency. Findings indicate two types of action and structural approaches to social inequality factors.
Discussion: In adopting each strategy, a number of contextual factors (action and social structure), intervening (discrimination and injustice at the community level and the prevalence of degrading discourse) and causal conditions (action factors including demographic and sociological variables) And structural factors, including intermediate and macro levels, have played a role. Finally, the adoption of action strategies (public education and focus on civil society) has had dual mental / objective consequences. All of these factors are interconnected and illustrated in a paradigm model.
