Abstract
Background and Objective: Realization of justice is one of the main pillars of the formation of the Islamic movement, the people uprising, and the victory of the Islamic Revolution over the imperial system. The Islamic Revolution of Iran, the revolution of the oppressed, seeks authorities that take responsibility due to their concern for serving the people (and not their desire to gain power). However, the tendency of the authorities to aristocracy is a fatal phenomenon that will have many negative consequences in the society. Therefore, due to the importance of the issue, the present study attempted to evaluate the tendency of authorities towards aristocracy and its role in the perception of social justice and the religion avoidance of students of medical sciences through a field study.
Methods: The present study is descriptive-correlational. For this purpose, using questionnaires, a survey was conducted on 400 graduate students in three provinces, including Mazandaran, Tehran and Qom, who were selected by available sampling in second half of 2018; the collected data was analyzed by mean tests and structural equation modeling. In this study, all ethical considerations have been observed and no conflict of interest was reported by the authors.
Results: The results show that the statistical population of the study confirmed the tendency of the authorities towards aristocracy (Χ=4.34 out of 5). Furthermore, the tendency of the authorities to aristocracy had a significant relationship with the decrease in social justice perception (P=-2.87 & T=-0.47) and a significant relationship with the religion avoidance (P=3.17 & T=0.63. However, no significant relationship was found between perceptions of social justice and religious avoidance (P=-0.71 & T=-0.05).
Conclusion: Based on the results, the need for fundamental reforms in the administrative and management structures is felt in a society where the topics of resistance economics are raised but whose managers have adopted an aristocratic life. The aristocracy of the authorities in the Islamic society will cause the decline of values among the citizens, especially the youth. Therefore, special attention should be paid to it.
