The results of quantitative and qualitative content analysis of three programs (the  second, third, and fourth) indicate that there is not any balance in paying  attention to fourfold  areas of social life. There  is about 60 percent of attention  to the economical  area of life, while there is almost no attention to the political aspect of life (about 2 percent). There  is also little attention  to the societal area of life  (about 15 percent). The attention to the cultural area of life is about 24 percent, while, it should be about 25 percent, according to the concept-analysis framework of these figures. The effects of carelessness to the political aspect of life and little attention  to the societal area of life in these programs  are evident in the current situation of the society. Intense political disputes,  considerable decrease of social capitals, and increasing different kinds of social deviations are among the evidences of such a carelessness.
