Iranian culture is class based, traditional and patriarchal. Tradition for most is rooted in religion and class and patriarchy have been constant features of Iranian society since ancient times.]]> 2017-12-05 02:02:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kmosley8/4irn2t893j13/wish/213130408 kmosley8 https://padlet.com/kmosley8/4irn2t893j13/wish/213130769  Class in its simplest form is mainly based on income and financial status or family genealogy, though modernity and traditionalism might also be used to distinguish classes.

Division of labor could be a relatively simple division between the public (men’s work) and domestic (women’s work) for the poor and/or uneducated, or a technical division in sophisticated work environments for highly trained and educated professional males and females. 

Generally, the lower and uneducated classes may regard females as inferior or different who are entitled to a lesser position in the society. On the other hand, the modern classes normally strive to guarantee the equality of sexes and eliminate gender discrimination.]]> 2017-12-05 02:06:06 UTC https://padlet.com/kmosley8/4irn2t893j13/wish/213130769 kmosley8 https://padlet.com/kmosley8/4irn2t893j13/wish/213130869  Traditionally the older people are respected, listened to and are treated accordingly. It is customary for all to stand up once they enter a room, the best seats are allocated to them and they are offered drinks and food before anyone else. Younger people are expected to be polite and restrain themselves and even avoid drinking alcohol or smoke cigarettes when elderly are present]]> 2017-12-05 02:06:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kmosley8/4irn2t893j13/wish/213130869 kmosley8 https://padlet.com/kmosley8/4irn2t893j13/wish/213130908 Iranian culture is patriarchal, legally and culturally males have more rights and privileges than females. 

Centuries of gender discrimination and segregation of sexes has created distinct roles and codes of behavior for both the sexes and many are still practiced today.

Parents normally have double standards concerning their children. Usually, there are more restrictions for girls compared to boys with respect to individual freedoms, dress codes and association with the opposite sex. 

Virgin brides are still in demand by many Iranian males and their families, while there is little stigma attached to males having girlfriends and sexual relationships while single. ]]> 2017-12-05 02:07:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kmosley8/4irn2t893j13/wish/213130908 kmosley8 https://padlet.com/kmosley8/4irn2t893j13/wish/213130984 Class considerations are very important; many people regard it as degrading marrying into classes lower than their own. Interracial and out of religion marriages vary with different classes and are less common amongst traditional people and on the whole are not very popular. It is a lot more prevalent for males to marry non-Muslim foreigners than for females. This is mostly due to the fact that Muslim women are legally barred from marrying non-Muslims unless the future spouse converts into Islam.]]> 2017-12-05 02:07:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kmosley8/4irn2t893j13/wish/213130984 kmosley8 https://padlet.com/kmosley8/4irn2t893j13/wish/213131022 For many families, the father or the husband takes most major financial decisions. It is more common for such males to consult with their male relatives or friends than their spouses. It is only recently that wives have started participating in such decision-making processes. 

Gender roles are normally well defined and clear. The priority for females is marriage and childbearing. Due to economic necessity and with the phenomenal increase in the number of highly educated Iranian women such culturally accepted norms are creating major problems for working mothers and challenging the status quo. 

Iranian culture is adult oriented with parents being involved in making major decisions for their children such as whom they should marry and what profession they should have. Nevertheless, children are very loved and are the priority with most families. Education is highly praised amongst all Iranians and quite often children are pressured to succeed academically. Mothers and recently fathers spent lots of time with their children and if they can afford it they will financially support them all the way till they have finished all their education and beyond]]> 2017-12-05 02:08:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kmosley8/4irn2t893j13/wish/213131022 kmosley8 https://padlet.com/kmosley8/4irn2t893j13/wish/213544837 Review this quizlet to learn the causes and effects of the Iranian Revolution]]> 2017-12-06 00:06:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kmosley8/4irn2t893j13/wish/213544837 kmosley8 https://padlet.com/kmosley8/4irn2t893j13/wish/213547368
