You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:44, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Great Civilization''' (((lang-fa|links=no|تمدن بزرگ|tamadon-e bozorg))) is a term describing the [[Shah of Iran]]'s political ambitions for Iran with near perfect communal conditions such as no poverty, ignorance, illiteracy, corruption, exploitation, or discrimination.<ref>((cite book |last1=Afhkami |first1=Reza |title=The Life and Times of The Shah |pages=333–334))</ref>
==Plan==
The Shah envisioned public health services bringing "for each Iranian maximum health and stamina," education yielding "the greatest possible degree of mental and intellectual well being," social insurance "from birth to death," and wages would which permit for all an individual's basic needs. All Iranians would be guaranteed housing and free from hunger as part of the Great Civilization.<ref>((cite book |last1=Afhkami |first1=Reza |title=The Life and Times of The Shah |pages=333–334))</ref>
The Shah predicted the Great Civilization was not in the far future as Iran would reach the level of progress Western Europe had in 1978 by 1990 and Iran would catch up to nations like France and England by the end of the century.  The Shah had prophesied the Great Civilization was destined as Iranians had a natural invincible energy, humanity, a sense of justice and rights, gift for sciences, literature, arts, universal outlook, and a deep-seated patriotism that protects Iranianness in any adversity.<ref>((cite book |last1=Afhkami |first1=Reza |title=The Life and Times of The Shah |pages=333–334))</ref>
The Shah sought to prove Iran's Great Civilization would surpass western nations and avoid the shortcoming of the west. He told westerners Iran would be "free from the blemishes of your [Western] society" and in a 1974 Indian newspaper, the Shah stated, "If we [Eastern nations] protect [our] inheritance … I am confident that we shall avoid the abysses into which material and materialistic civilisations have fallen."<ref>((cite web |title=Dictators and civilizational thinking in Iran: From the Great Civilization to Islamic Civilization |url=http://www.mei.edu/publications/dictators-and-civilizational-thinking-iran-great-civilization-islamic-civilization))</ref>

==Interview statement==
During an interview the American media outlet ''[[Meet the Press]]'', interviewer [[Lawrence E. Spivak]] asked the Shah, "Your Majesty, in an interview last year you were reported as saying in 25 years Iran will be the fifth largest world power and that your achievements will be what you can contribute to civilisation. What is it you would like to contribute to civilisation?" The Shah responded: 
((cquote|[T]he wages and the revenues of every individual will be enough to cover their expenses. Many of their expenses will be sustained or subsidised by the states. Studies will be free until the end of the university level and more if necessary. [We] will provide even food for the children during their school hours. Every kind of insurances will take care of everything that could happen to them during their lives. So they will, since the moment that they will be born until they die, they will be covered by various kind[s] of insurances or measures taken by the government or their society to provide them[…]” <ref>((cite book |last1=Alvandi |first1=Roham |title=The Age of Aryamer |page=678))</ref>))
