The fast development of technology in the media is one of the manifestations of the progress of modern society. There is no area of human life, in which the media have not become an integral part of interpersonal relations and of social, economic, political and religious. It can be said that the Areopagus of the modern world is the world of communication, which is capable to unite humanity, making it a “global village”. The communications media have acquired such importance that they are for many the main tool for directing and inspiring attitude of individual, family and society. This is a issue complex, because this culture, even more so than because of the content, is affected due to the existence of new ways to communicate with previously unknown techniques and language, often using sophisticated techniques of manipulation. Our era is the era of global communication, where so many moments of human existence through the processes of media, or at least have to confront with them. In this complex reality came postmodern contemporary families educate children. Multidimensional challenges facing education today, often linked to the pervasive influence of the media in our world. Media, as an aspect of globalization and the impact of the fast development of technology, in a profound way to determine the area of a culture, there are even those who argue that the impact of the media to successfully compete with the influence of the Church, and even family. That's why you need a deep reflection on the education in the perspective of not only the relationship, but the interaction with mass media. This close relationship must be considered from two points of view: “the formation of children by the media and the formation of children to respond appropriately to the media”.
