Moment of Zen 05.05.09

While listening to the presentation on films I was wondering who is in charge for the PG-guidelines. I mean, who decides that films are only suitable for a certain agegroup (if it is not that obvious, e.g. the use of violence) and what do they base their argumentation on? Do they have a valuesystem? What is it like?

  1. Dear Nadine,
    I really encourage you to talk to Julian about it before or after class. He will appreciate your interest.

    Maybe, it is of interest. The Googlescholar.com generated the following hits when I entered the key words: censorship movie industry united states
    http://scholar.google.de/scholar?hl=en&lr=&q=censorship+movie+industry+united+states&btnG=Search

    There must be an article on censorship in the united states in Wikipedia as well.

    Thanks for sharing your Moment of Zen!
