Family is the subject of specific interference of the mass media in emotional, ethical and social dimention. The media are sources of many dangers among which you find: violence, moral relativity, lack of genuine and objective information, manipulation, improper outlook of family. Multilateral and deep input of mass media into family life brings different consequences. It mainly refers to shaping in-family relations, stating what is bad and good, promoting leisure activities and defining what is called „political correctness” Family ought to defend itself against all kinds of dangers caused by the presence of the mass media in family life by choosing appropriate contents and creating a positive choice against incorrect patterns of behavior prefered by TV, press and the Internet. Family, in its efforts, should be supported by the state and school.
