Fatalism is believing in the impact of superhuman power or external forces like chance/luck in life. This research was conducted for a comparative study of fatalism among disabled and non-disabled people. In this research, a survey method was used. 200 people with physical disabilities, cerebral palsy (CP) and blindness and 200 non-disabled people from Yazd in 2018 were selected. Available quote sampling method was used to select disabled people and systematic cluster sampling was used to select non-disabled people. Data collection tools include the responsibility scale of Ahmadi Akhorme et.al (1392), the ability of Peterson and Seligman (2004), Weissman & Beck`s (1978) dysfunctional attitudes and researcher questioner made by fatalism. Data were analyzed in two independent groups by statistical mean difference, T-test, Pearson correlation, ANOVA and multivariate regression test. The average fatalism is 48.3 in disabled people and 45 in non-disabled people. The result of hypothesis showed that the measure of fatalism is higher in disabled people. In disabled people, there was a significant/meaningful relationship between fatalism and the studied variables such as education (with meaningful level, age, severity of disability, inefficient attitudes, empowerment and responsibility. In non-disabled people, there was a meaningful relationship between fatalism and inefficient attitude variables and empowerment, but there wasn’t any significant relationship between fatalism and other studied variables. The result of regression analysis showed that inefficient attitude variables and ability had the greatest effect on fatalism in disabled and non-disabled people and only people and only 16 percent of Variance explains fatalism.

One of the most fundamental social damages in Iran is the marginalization in large cities. Empowering these people is not possible with purely government resources and requires the use of empowerment methods based on social entrepreneurship (SE). On the other hand, due to the presence of multiple stakeholders for co-creation, there are many challenges when it comes to implementing SE. There is, however, little evidence as to how the process of SE works. The present study, using a participatory action research strategy to analyzing the SE cycle of "poultry self-sufficiency" aimed at empowering and creating jobs for the disadvantaged and the marginalized in parts of Tehran, Iran (Farahzad and Khavar Shahr) as a sustainable solution. In this action research, key activities undertaken during the four segments of the SE cycle were analyzed by the researchers. The results of the action research are as follows: 1- creating jobs for people with few or no skills; 2- eliminating the cycle of poverty 3- stabilizing the process by linking different parts of the organic supply chain 4- effectively changing the process of benevolent assistance. The results showed that SE has the greatest effect when actors in different parts of society contribute and cooperate.
