Summary/Abstract: In the contemporary world we can often hear representatives of older generation opinions that young people live without the higher values, and only material wealth matters. Is this really true? In the article website Demotywatory.pl will be analysed as an example of the website which is very popular and entered everyday by thousands of young people. This website brings up subjects connected with values. Demotywatory.pl is opinion-forming and this is the space where young people shape their attitudes and values and confront their opinions with others. The Internet gives them opportunity to hold an interactive discourse on values and attitudes. Applying the theories from sociology, anthropology and social psychology enables us to show the development of the attitudes and values while visiting the website as well as the motivations of entering the website.
