Abstract

The turn of the 20th and 21st centuries brought numerous social changes related to value order and human perception of its different elements. Changes, in turn, brought new sentiments, fear, and attempts to hitherto prevailing rules. Access to the Internet and various modern technologies has enabled clashes to shift to a digital dimension, providing opportunities to learn about cultures that arrive infrequently and instilling a sense of danger. Among the information available on the Internet, disinformation has also become common, fuelling uncertainty and doubts, and also increasing hatred. According to some parts of society, their traditional values and culture are especially at risk. This chaos, human emotions, insufficient civic education and lack of critical thinking are used by politicians to spread their propaganda and hatred towards “others” and oppositionists, which automatically become enemies. All the authorities became undermined, which worked their way up to it to varying degrees. Society, in its choices, loses rationality; it becomes clear that there is a lack of media awareness, as well as a need to develop informal education fairly.
