Abstract Media and their content have been subject to research since the time of their origin. A lot of scientists deal with their influence on formation of a human and the society. The term media is being discussed very frequently nowadays. Sociologists, psychologists, politicians as well as journalists often write and speak about media in various contexts. Mass media play a unique and irreplaceable role in providing social coherence in the modern society; they support power allocation and social communication. Evaluation of mass media roles differ according to what these roles bring to individuals and to the society, because what we can evaluate from one view as desirable may be seen undesirable from another view. Mass media serve to maintenance and stability of democratic society and they support the existing power allocation. Most of everyday communication is interpersonal or in a group, which means that it is tightly fixed in the situational and cultural context. Our existence in the society is not only determined geographically, but mainly in the sense of cultural behaviour patterns and conventions and certain social relations.

Hypothesis 1: Media have stronger influence on secondary students than on tertiary students has not been confirmed. Hypothesis 2: Media have stronger influence on weight reduction in women at secondary schools than those at tertiary schools has been confirmed. Hypothesis 3: Secondary students read lifestyle magazines more than tertiary students has not been confirmed.

Biological weapons number among mass destruction weapons and their advantage is in their ineffectiveness on dead matter and ability to cause high mortality. Biological weapons are very various and budget-priced. Just a small amount can kill many people or contaminate a vast area for a long time, it all depends on qualities of the used biological agent. Biological agent can be spread in several ways, namely by aerosol inhalation, in an alimentary way otherwise by taking of with groceries, by exterior contamination by means of objects or linen and by means of vector (medium {--} insects) by blood suction.
