Initially, we focused on the development of adolescents and their integration into society. We focused on the characteristics of the social networks, their creation and the functions of each of them. We also found what risks internet users might encounter and how to avoid them. The research part of this work was devoted to time spent on social networks, as well as the content that interviewees search for and share. In the context of self-identification and self-conception, the results showed us that boys have a higher self-assessment compared to girls who care most about their appearance.

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.
