REVIEWER’S COMMENTS ON THE DOCUMENT:

The presented material is interesting thanks to the many authors, the variety of topics and the large amount of visual materials, supporting the facts, the statistics, the data and the definitions. This compilation of presentations gives an interesting point of view regarding a particular generator of aggressive behavior – namely the media, which tend to play a greater role and have a greater influence on easily impressionable young minds. Interesting reading both for the grown ups – mainly teachers and parents – and the youths – adolescents.
