Media and most of all new media are taking a significant place in lives of the youth. Media are becoming their way of expression, socializing tool and a source of information, which strongly form their point of view at the World and reality. Media active on internet are becoming a tool for disinformation spreading, half-truths and hateful statements against the members of ethnical groups, minorities or others. An example of these negative phenomena is the refugee crisis. Internet was full of materials with the aim to urge the public to hate and defame refugees. This leads to the xenophobia and extremism.
