Abstract
The main purpose of this article is to investigate the effective factors in the riots in 1401. What factors have played a central role in the recent disturbances? The hypothesis of the research claims that cultural factors played a decisive role in the riots of 1401. To prove this claim, the theory of postmodernism and its components have been used to analyze the unrest in the country. Therefore, by using the qualitative method based on the library approach and gathering materials through the collection of books and articles, as well as following the domestic and foreign media and the contents published in the virtual space, efforts were made to analyze and explain these factors. The findings are in line with the confirmation of the claim raised in the research hypothesis. The results show that the role of cultural factors, especially the media and virtual space, had the most central role in affecting the country's several months of unrest.
