The findings in the current research approves that all the 6 interviewed individuals in the northern part of Tehran (Niavaran and Zafaranieh) have a higher level of cosmopolitanism and respect to humanity in comparison to the 5 interviewed individuals living in southern parts(Javadieh and Zafaranieh) of Tehran. Also, the derived codes and the relationships between items clearly show the difference in trend to cosmopolitanism among the participant in this study. Furthermore, in none of the conducted in-depth interview research were approved that two categories of cosmopolitanism and respect to humanity would not be parallel to each other.
