Recent findings show that danger derives predominantly from television and internet (Luszczak, 2011). Some negative outcomes of mass media are: the creating of childhood idols, subsequently, the promoting of celebrity worship; associating with actors’ behavior; motivating destructive behavior and hostility in the family and school environment; promoting prejudice towards adults and peers; encouraging the use of drugs and other stimulating substances, and pornographic
