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?

Dear Nadine,
ReplyDeleteI 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!
