Before the Revolution:
When a group of people want to make a change to their culture or country, if they get enough support, they can change history.Before the Islamic Revolution, the country of Iran was pretty different. In the pre-revolution country, there was more of a liberal stance on things, and everyone was equal. Education was encouraged for all those with in society, and higher education was encouraged, even for women it was (opposingviews.com). The Shah, the leader of the country was very western thinking, bringing those ideas to the country, thus the more liberal stances. Within the government, they started going away from the more religious views, but faced opposition from many of the followers of Islam (opposingviews.com). The world of Iran was drastically changed as the Islamic Revolution happened.
