Abstract

The present research is a study of the social gaps leading to the Islamic Revolution and the impact of the Islamic Revolution on the social gaps, specifically ethno-religious, class, value, gender, and generation gaps during the last two decades.
Here, it is claimed that the Revolution, on the one hand, strengthened the process of social and ideological integration and prevented critical political instabilities, and on the other hand, resulted in the emergence of some social gaps.
The existing socio-political gaps and their underlying charactristics are still likely to cause tense conflicts and instabilities. Therefore, if social, economic, political, and cultural solidarity is neglected, tense conflicts are probable to arise out of these gaps.
