Abstract

Urbanizam je uvelike utjecao na način življenja. Urbanizacija je novi oblik života u kojem
postindustrijsko društvo doživljava svojevrsne promjene, kao i probleme koji zahvaćaju svaki
aspekt svakodnevice. Moderni se pojedinac značajno razlikuje od tradicionalnoga. Kao takav
“preko noći” susreće se s novim oblicima komunikacije, rada, promjenama u obitelji,
susjedstvu, religiji, običajima, raspodijeli obaveza unutar obitelji i mnogo čemu drugome,
upravo kroz medije i lakši prijenos informacija. Novonastale promjene mogući su uzrok
povećane stope devijantnosti, kriminala i mentalnih bolesti. Spomenute društvene činjenice
manje su rasprostranjene u ruralnim područjima nego u gradovima.
S ciljem otkrivanja korelacije posljedica urbanizacije te pojave devijantnosti i istovremenih
promjena u medijskoj industriji, dotaći ću se važnijih dijela autora Marshalla McLuhana,
Alvina Tofflera, Manuela Castellsa, Thomasa Kuhna i ostalih, te istražiti u kolikoj je mjeri
masovna komunikacija doprinijela promjenama uzrokovanih inovacijama. Specifičnije, na
pitanje zašto je manji postotak kriminala zabilježenu manje naprednim i tehnološki
osviještenim područjima, odgovorit će se proučavanjem svih istraženih dijelova čovjekovog
života koji su se značajno promijenili zahvaljujući inovacijama.
U prvom dijelu rada odgovorit će se na pitanja: što su to mediji uopće, kakva je njihova
podjela te na koje sve načine utječu na okolinu i njenu svakodnevicu. U drugom dijelu
dotaknut će se sama srž i kroz značajnija dijela o temi, analizirati uloga medija u
postindustrijskom društvu. Zatim će se usredotočiti na potencijalno štetan medijski sadržaj i
cjelokupni utjecaj medija te završiti s načinima prevencije potpadanja pod utjecaj istog,
nakon čega će se donijeti zaključak.

Abstract (english)

Urbanism has greatly influenced the way of living. Urbanization is a new form of life in
which post-industrial society is experiencing a kind of change, as well as problems that affect
every aspect of everyday life. The modern individual differs significantly from the traditional
one. He encounters new forms of communication, work, changes in the family,
neighborhood, religion, customs, distribution of responsibilities within the family and much
more, precisely through the media and easier transfer of information. The new changes are a
possible cause of increased rates of deviance, crime and mental illness. The mentioned social
facts are less widespread in rural areas than in cities.
In order to discover the correlation between the consequences of urbanization and the
emergence of deviance and simultaneous changes in the media industry, I will touch on the
most important works by Marshall McLuhan, Alvin Toffler, Manuel Castells, Thomas Kuhn
and others, and explore the extent to which communication has contributed to change caused
by innovation. More specifically, the question of why a lower crime rate is recorded in less
advanced and technology-conscious areas will be answered by studying all the researched
parts of human life that have changed significantly thanks to innovation.
The first part of the paper will answer the questions: what are the media in general, what is
their division and in what ways do they affect the environment and its everyday life. In the
second part, the core will be touched upon and through more significant parts on the topic,
the role of the media in post-industrial society will be analyzed. They will then focus on the
potentially harmful media content and the overall impact of the media, and conclude with
ways to prevent falling under the influence of the same, after which I will bring a conclusion.
