Some justification in preserving life, liberty, or fundamental laws of society or an attempt to solve a situation through reasonable negotiation or conflict resolution must be evident. The audience shouldn't see more violence than is necessary to understand the situation and motivation of the characters. Guns and other weapons may be used, but generally we don't see the victim being shot. Intense hand to hand combat or marshal arts situations may be depicted with blood. Violence has become gratuitous, unnecessary, or serves only as an entertainment attraction.
Violence is used without any consideration for non-violent conflict resolution.
Head and shoulders shots of a person in a shower or bath, with no nudity or details of private body parts through clothing or any other objects, will be included in this grade. Sexual activity is discussed or alluded to by unmarried adults without detailed descriptions and with no on-screen activity. Incidental homosexual characters who are not core to the title's plot, with no discussion of homosexual activity or display of homosexual activity may be included in this grade. Clothing may include brief shots of less modest swimwear that is designed to attract audience attention or motivate sexual feelings in other characters. More revealing dress may also be included, but not to the degree where private body parts are easily seen or revealed.
