Today's world is a world that has been affected by the plurality of values, a fragmented world, a world with various ways of living, a world in which, as “Sartre" puts it, values do not take precedence over us, but rather they are succeeding us. Therefore an era, in which we live, is called networked society, values are redefined every day, and these values have a decisive role in shaping our identity. In fact, today, the media have transcended geographical, cultural and political boundaries and by its growing and increasing expansion, it has gone beyond the socio-political sphere and has also affected the identity of contemporary human; in a way that, the identity of modern human can be called media identity. Therefore, more than any other time, there is a need for revealing identities and verification and acknowledgment of it by others within the network which can be employed as a fundamental force for understanding the world and introducing self to others. In the meantime, social networks from 2005 onwards have allocated most of the Internet users to themselves and by creating a virtual community and the like-minded groups they have played a great role in creating identity of the individuals. The present study, through the theoretical-analytical method, evaluates the role of these networks in creating and shaping people's identities.

Mass media and particularly satellite have an important role in as modern communication-cultural channels informing and apprising the people, establishing norms and behavior patterns, etc. as well as the main educational, advertising, culture, forming public beliefs levers and main components to make identity and civilization. On the other hand, it can be used as a tool for west's cultural invasion, bad moral training, destructing beliefs of national, ideological and social values, examples of promiscuity, weakening social trust, normalizing violation, raising consumer and dependent communities as. Therefore this study looks for determination and pathology of the amount of satellite use, relationship between satellite programs and people's interests as well as presenting some strategies to prevent these damages. This study is a survey and the used method is a combination of descriptive and correlational method. Needed information was collected using questionnaire and for the study literature, library references and archival documents were gathered. Analyzing the research theories and principles shows that, increasing people's tendency to satellite programs such as music, series, movie, etc. has affected the people's behavior and culture as well as lack of welcome for internal channels because of the poor quality of the programs.
