Violence

I think the other groups had different ratings set for different age groups because they want to include themselves in everything. They were not thinking about the young manipulative children but rather themselves by making what is currently now M ratings to 16 and up rather than 18. 16 year olds can barely drive let alone be capable of watching these types of brutal homicide and other disgraceful acts being portrayed.

   There are good reason to be concerned about violence on tv and movies. Parents have the job of keeping their kids stable and a huge part of that job is limiting what is on the television. Kids see terrible things acted out but portray them as reality and get caught up in what is and what isn't happening. But seeing things on the news is different. The news is current events sometimes they are not the most beautiful sights but the news can not show dead bodies mutilated or anything like that but movies and tv can because it's "acting".

I dont think we need to go as far into restrictions as making laws against it. I think it is the parents job to limit and if they don't it's their price to pay. Television today has come so far but putting laws on it now will just cause uproar from the public. Even broadcasts like football games have violence. Some limiting just can go too far.
