Summary/Abstract: Mass-media have powerful influence on characteristics and development of contemporary societies. Modern societies are characterized by different varieties of violence as un-human social and anthropological behaviour paterns of different societies and as shapes of social pathology. Media are the most significant mediator between sport and men of modern societies, particularly of young people. Violence, as on expression of agressive behaviour, is not just a consequence of global society and mass-media influence on audience (especialy hooligans), but it is developing as a consequence of socialisation of personality. Youth violence is also a consequence of mass-media influence on young people's education. Children and youth are especially sensitive to violence in mass-media.
