The Entertainment Rating System

The loss of human dignity is prevalent in today's twenty first century. Four letter words curse words are considered acceptable speak even in print media. Personally I find it not only irresponsible but degrading as well. On the reverse side of the same coin, certain people prefer it. But it does not add strength to the argument. In the United States, for example, the human middle finger. Is used to represent the F *** bomb! But the middle finger itself is not the blame! Still it is not acceptable to point using it! The index finger has always been the preferred finger for pointing out people, places and things. The word adult is used to mean movies for mature audiences only. Those movies frequently contain material not suitable for children. For example TV-14 or PG 13 is not intended for audiences under those teen years. R means restricted for ages seventeen and above. And the X rated movies are for people eighteen years and older. It used to be 21 years of age and older. Those movies usually contain objectionable material and/ or embarrassing material. And frequently action packed and violent movies. I find R rated movies nowadays are not only unsuitable but also weird in context. G means general audience. Whereas, PG means parental guidance for younger children. M V Means a movie contains what is considered to be moderate violence. I am not familiar with all of the labels. These are just a sample of them. Read the label before viewing a movie! I am sorry they use the word adult to mean filthy and disgustingly objectionable movies! In my humble opinion the words adult and mature have been hijacked by the entertainment, conventional, and print media. The word adult meant people twenty one years and older. Mature meant responsible and or older adults. I am happy people eighteen are considered adults! Let God and your conscience be your guide in your navigation as to what material you consider suitable. If you are easily embarrassed such as I am, you will the tendency to much more cautious. Love in Christ Jesus! Roxanne Lea Dubarry Roxy Lea 1954 Roxy 1954/ October Country July 03, 2020
