Abstract

The infl uence of mass media on people's lives and behavior is more visible every day. The

target of these tools the young adolescents. One of the communication tools that a racts

more teenagers to the programs and the world that off ers them is internet. Internet off ers to

teenagers a world of possibilities where you can achieve everything just with one click.

But the internet off ers some negative aspects to, such as cyber bulling, inaccurate information,

violation of privacy, addiction, social isolation, pedophile danger, and so on.

But how does watching diff erent programs with online violence episodes aff ects in transforming

and remodeling adolescent behavior in relationships with other members of society?

Keywords: Internet, adolescent, aggressive behavior.

Introduction

The world we live in is a world so peaceful and violent to. Every day we hear about

terrorist a acks, victims of various wars, people who kill other people, and many

other episodes of violence. Violence is not present only among adults but also among

adolescents.

Violence among adolescents has become one of the greatest concerns of society today

(Anderson & Bushman, 2001). Adolescents face episodes of violence since early

childhood watching various television programs for children, people who discuss

loudly or who exercise violence against someone else.

Methodology

The methodology used in this study includes the theoretical and empirical aspect.

The study was also based on the specifi c sociological and psychopedagogic literature,

diff erent interviews with adolescents about the relationship between viewing

programmes with violent episode and the infl uence that they have on the behaviour

of the Albanian adolescents.

Analysis of the problem

Internet as well as television enables teenagers to see diff erent programs, including

programs with violent episodes. Some times before the programs they commonly

watch on televizion they see them online (Hodge, Robert & David Tripp, 1986). In

this way, they become increasingly dependent on internet and the services it off ers.

Among the questions raised and disturbing researchers today are:

- How does the Internet aff ect adolescent behavior?

- All this information they receive aff ects their lives positively or negatively?
