Patologizacja treści rozrywkowych w Internecie wyzwaniem katechetycznym

Abstract

This article discusses the pathologisation of entertainment contents by way of referring to sociological and pedagogical studies. It exposes the popularity of internet among young people, and links it to the supra-educational domain, which in a crucial way influences human life and mentality. Amongst the topics discussed were the individual elements of pathologisation of entertainment contents, which included: brutalisation of entertainment, homogenisation or the degeneration of sacrum values and primary values. Finally, the focus is on means to counter the effects of pathological entertainment on the catechetical basis by implementation of action addressed to parents, children, educators, and aimed at restoration of youth educational media and creating alternatives to pathological websites.
