Age Appropriate Movies (Arguemenative Paper)
Age Appropriate
Let’s go to the movies is a phrase most children, and adults for that matter love to hear. Whether you’re interested in romance, comedy, horror, or action, watching them at home just is not the same as sitting in a theater with a bag of popcorn and a large soda. How do we know which movie will best suit us, and which should remain unseen? Well there are ratings for that. As most parents especially those with teens and pre-teens would know there isn't always an agreement on what is appropriate and what is not. Most of the time their taste is older than it should be, in this case things like rated R movies. What is a rated R movie, reasons we have the rating limits, and finally what should be done to protect our youth from seeing things they shouldn't.
According to http://www.mpaa.org/ ratings are divided between five categories ‘G’ or general audience, ‘PG’ or parental guidance suggested, ‘PG-13’ or parents strongly cautioned, ‘R’ or restricted, and finally ‘NC-17’ or no-one 17 and under admitted. Rated ‘R’ movies are not able to be seen by anyone under the age of 17 without adult consent. These movies are rated as ‘R’ because they contain adult material. Included in that would be obscene language, violence, nudity, drug abuse, and adult themes. This is a warning to all parents to make sure the movie that their children at watching is something that should be seen by them based on their age and maturity level.
Being that many of our youth is easily influenced by what they seen around them this can include what they view in movies, which is a solid reason to why most teens under the age of 17 shouldn’t be subjected to what rated ‘R’ movies have to offer. Parents have a tendency to monitor what their children watch at home, and this allows them to have better control over what they are able to see in public as well. There are many movies that contain dangerous stunts and actions; this would be something that if seen by an easily influenced crowd
