Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the problem of moral infertility of the contemporary culture. The phenomenon — the phenomenon of adiaphorization, as Zygmunt Bauman calls it — seems to be a consequence of the process of global anesthetization. The last one is especially noticeable in the context of violence which is submitted for a process of anesthetization in the media. The aforementioned context reveals additionally some socially dangerous consequences of anesthetization as well as of adiaphorization.
