Abstract

The issue that the authors address in this article is Internet hatred which seems a phenomenon closely related to the development of Internet communication. Not only is it present in virtual reality, it permeates all spheres of public discourse, nowadays. In broad terms, hatred finds its sources in different aspects of human communication. One of the aspects which seems to have contributed to the rapid expansion of this threatening global trend is the rise of the New Media, which in turn, has lead directly or indirectly to the establishment of such a socio-cultural structure as a Network society. Experts in the area of media research as well as psychologists, linguists, and many others cannot remain indifferent to the situation. They persistently emphasise the necessity for governmental institutions to take firm and far-reaching actions to curb aggressive behaviour. The aim of the article is to shed some light into the aforementioned issues
