Today's modern society use mass media on a daily basis as a modern way of communication. Lot of us can't imagine everyday life without them. They are surrendering us with non-stop flow of various informations. Everyday we spent a lot of time with media and sometimes we even don't realize, what risks are menacing us and others. Media are capable of manipulating with people without even noticing it by common population. They are influencing their opinions, behavior and thinking. Kids and teen-agers belong to the most threatened groups, because they can be easily manipulated. This group is not capable of realizing of influence of media on their behavior. Experts are pointing out on the influence, which they have on behavior and also on evolution process of personality. Since pre-school age kids are confronted with mass media frequently. They are not developmentally enough adult, so they cannot settle with traps, which are lurking on them, without help. That's why there is necessity to teach kids how to work properly with media and use informations delivered by them rationally. Importance of medial enlightenment consists in the fact, that when kids are exposed to the influence of media, which can be so great, that it can even cause mental disorder. Besides behavior, statements, opinions and world views are being influenced as well. That's why prevention is very important and this task could be fulfilled by medial education. When it will reach mental disorder, it is necessary to bring a team of experts and immediately start to work with affected children. There is special branch of pedagogy called etopedy, which is concerned with these problems. It's not engaged only in training and educating of children with mental disorders, but it's also looking for the reason, that causes this disorder. Its primary goal is to incorporate kid into society again and make sure, that it doesn't break social standards anymore. Etopedy doesn't work with child on it's own, but use help from other scientific branches like psychology, special pedagogy, patopsychology and many others.
