Introduction A participatory political culture is the one of important criteria of democracy and political development a core component of citizenship in a democracy is participation in political activity. In fact if we want democracy, we need responsible people who interested in participating in the political process. Considering that culture is the acquired and is transmitted to people by various social institutions such as family, school, media and etc media as a one of powerful and Impressive social institutions, especially by indirect methods, can transfer the values of participatory political culture to their audiences. In addition, Consider to importance of political participation in developing countries like Iran this paper tries to review the values and cultural that is transmitted by the TV and press to their audience specially high school students, those who are forming their own political self. In order to increase participation, students need to acquire a desire to participate before they leave school. The main question of this essay is what type of political culture is transferred to students by those media? Does they lead high school student to participatory political culture? Our hypothesis is that the Iranian media, TV and press, often is teaching subject political culture to its audience, especially high school students. This is because they can not achieving trust of their audience. Material and Method This Paper has used a theoretical framework which provided by Almond and Verba about political culture. Almond and Verba claim to have identified three broad types of political culture .first, Parochial culture, in which no clear differentiation of specific political roles and expectations exists among actors, i.e. political specialization is minimal second, subject, in which institutional and role differentiation exists in political life, but towards which the citizen stands in largely passive relations and third, participant, in which the relationships between specialized institutions and citizen opinion and activity is interactive. The method of this paper is statistic method. To answer the paperâs question and study of studentâs political culture, 440 Questionnaire is distributed among high school students in Isfahan city that 22 of them were excluded due to incompleteness of the research process, and 418 questionnaires were evaluated. In the statistical analysis, descriptive and inferential statistical methods used and the findings of this study have been analyzed. Discussion of result and conclusion: Based on the research findings, in the most cases the both of TV and press in Iran transfer values that related to subject political culture. This study also shows that TV more than press can transferred some components of participatory political culture to its studentâs audience, but press cannot do this. Of course, even the TV was not able to transfer high level of participation, such as encouraging students to membership in the parties and NGOs, and they just attention to issues like encouraging their audience to take part in the elections. According to the findings of this research, the reasons for the ineffectiveness of the Iranian media, especially the press in the transmission of such concepts and values could be their sectarian operation and the mistrust of people to them. Therefore as long as strong parties have not formed in Iran and media perform as political parties, and also as long as they do not have economic independence, they cannot express their true opinions and critiques and attract trust of their audience like high school students. On the other hand, since the culture of critique and dialogue in our media space is not highlighted, the message is transmitted indirectly to the audience, especially high school students, is the high cost of political participation. Consequently, this message causes people, especially students, to stay away from political participation and active presence in the political arena. |
