Violence in the Media Zorana Yawapongsirj from Thailand and Jung-A Lee from Korea read an article about TV ratings systems.
Some people feel that any form of rating system is censorship, a limit on freedom of speech.
Others worry about the effect of violence, sex, and rude language on young people and feel a rating system is necessary to help parents monitor what their children watch. O nce we turn on the TV, we can find many violent scenes. Many parents are concerned that these kinds of shows have a bad effect on children, so they want government to make a form of rating system. However, some people think this limits their civil liberties and are opposed to that, especially free speech supporters. They think if government tries to regulate programs, it's censorship.
