 How the Iran's Theocracy effect the traditional and the nontraditional

Iran is a government ruled by its religious leaders. The dominant religion in Iran is Islam,when a country is ruled by its religious leaders it is called a theocracy.Many of the citizens of Iran are against this kind of government because they find it oppressive and over-ruling. If you want to be in any sort of position of power in Iran you must be a practicing Shiite Muslim. There are many social differences in Iran between the traditional and nontraditional people, the traditional people in Iran are for the governments style and think a majority of the laws if not all of them are right and just. Nontraditional people think that a good portion of the laws are wrong and oppressive for example when women have to were their garb by force not by choice even though some would choose to anyway.  Many of the younger people have nontraditional view, unlike the government most young people have a pro american view on things many think this is because of the internet, social networks and possibly because of how are life styles are presented as glamorous and fun. The traditional people think that western culture is wrong and that they want there young as far away from it as possible because they think it will lead to wrong doing. .
