On the other hand, politics is the resolution of human conflicts; It is the process by which society authoritatively distributes resources and values, makes decisions, or determines policies; So politics is the exercise of power and influence in society. At the same time, the Islamic Revolution of Iran, with its emergence in an era when the social presence of religion was considered over, created theoretical challenges in processing what the Western world considered to be human utopia, and subsequently turned a wave of Western theorizing. With this description, the interaction point of sociology and politics can be explained in the political perspective.
