In fact, it becomes an institution for the socialization of new generations, which is actively incorporated into family and educational systems as well. At the current level of socio-economic, political and demographic development of the country there is a decrease in the educational potential of the family. It is due to the shortage of funds, opportunities and time for parents to realize the educational function, the shortage of intra-family communication and the disruption of emotional proximity between parents and children, the gap between values of different generations. The mass media and the Internet, in their importance in the process of socialization, are placed in line with a social institution such as the family, forming social norms and values in the younger generation.
