The only way for movies to become more family oriented is for the movie ratings system to become drastically overhauled. Take for example the average four member family that goes to movies. The go to see a PG-13 movie and they are shocked at what they see. This is the fault of the movie ratings system and scued ideas of what is deemed unfit for immature audiences to see.
As the author of “Rated T for Obscure Reasons,” states, “It is questionable whether the movie industry should be in the business of movie ratings at all.” ” Producers are often willing to make substantial cuts or changes in movies to get a movie commercially viable rating.” All the movie creaters care about is making money he says, and that the movie ratings boards will do anything to help them do that. This article also states that the religion that you are plays a vital role in the ratings prcess especially since the only religious representatives are those form the Catholic and Episcopal churches and aren’t opended to any other churches.
If your a parent and you wish to be on the board then you may also be the only one with children that live with you since all of the so called parents have children that are all adults. This changes the viewing audience and doesn’t help them realize that their rating some films for children under the age of thirteen and not fully grown adults.

Games are under far more scrutiny than other sources of media. I generally agree that more violence in games is not necessarily a good thing. Most game companies are trying to push the gauntlet and raise exposure of some violent and unnecessarily graphic content. But this opens the question of whether kids or at least some can handle the material. Too often the media has been a scapegoat for parents of children where horrible tragedies has occurred to their children like school shootings, murders, and even suicide. The author, Seth Schiesel, is in my opinion a credible author in means that his works are published in the New York Times. As Patricia Vance, the president of the Electronic Software Rating Board states, “it is a parent’s rightful place to make choices for their own children, in essence, the parent not the child, should decide whether or not to censor. Now the average parent cannot hum over a child all day but they can at least decide what they watch at home. Games like Manhunt 2 which is a key example in the article, is one of graphic proportions that the E.S.R.B. has almost banned. Games like these are a prime example of the author’s debate.

I am a drum corps.
Loud at times, but stull sharp and complex.
I can look terrible, but someone still cheers in excitement.
Full of diverse elements that when combined together can create a product.
A product that people can talk about for ages.
The Percussion. The Drive.
The Guard. The Beauty.
The Pit. The Crazyness.
The Brass. The Power.
Seeing the looks on everyone’s face as the stadium raises in applause.
Knowing that you’ve achieved a goal and doing something that only a few ever know.
Euphoria, complete and utter euphoria.
