MOVIE RATINGS: SEX OR VIOLENCE?
Sexual content and nudity in movies remains the top concern for parents, while violence and language — save for the F-word — have fallen to the lower end of the spectrum of concern.
The findings are part of the 2015 Parents Ratings Advisory Study commissioned by Classification & Rating Administration, home of the voluntary ratings system that's jointly run by the Motion Picture Association of America and the National Association of Theater Owners.
While 80 percent of parents in the U.S. believe the movie ratings system is accurate overall, a majority think most types of sexual content should automatically warrant an R rating and that even one use of the F-word is inappropriate for movies rated PG-13.
CARA uses the national surveys to see if its decisions are in sync with how a majority of parents feel, even as it comes under criticism for being tougher on sex and language than on violence.
What do you think?
