Ratings

The Motion Picture Association of America has been rating movies for quite some time. Relatively recently, television and video games have also began rating their products. Sometimes people disagree with the rating that has been given.

People edit themselves all the time, taking into account their company, experience, lifestyle, subject matter, and the list continues. I sometimes disagree with how someone has chosen to edit, or not edit him or herself, as the case may be. Wouldn’t it be nice if the whole world could adopt a widely accepted? We could call it the Rating Association of the World!
