I would like to speak of environment in this post. I know it is somewhat a simple and easy to understand concept but I find it interesting because of groups such as the MPAA.
Small groups can be groups within larger groups (which are also called environments), in this case the MPAA is a small group within society. The MPAA's environment is the general public and they do what they can to make sure the general public is protected from inaccurate ratings. So the MPAA gives ratings such as “G”, “PG”, “PG-13”, “R”, and “NC-17”. The MPAA watches every U.S. Movie before public release and gives it a rating based on its content. Most of the time the MPAA attempts to protects people under 17 years of age from homosexuality, sex, criminal behavior, and other things they consider unethical. If the MPAA cannot give an accurate rating then how could their environment trust them ever again? Even worse their environment could go into shambles causing their whole environment to fail. The MPAA plays strict rules upon movies and makes sure they keep it accurate so they may continue to do their job as a small group that protects the general public.
Hi Timothy!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this post about the MPAA and thought it was a great way to discuss and give examples of the concept of environment. And I love movies so it was interesting for me to read your knowledge of the group! The standards the MPAA operates on are important to maintaining a healthy balance and restriction(s) for those of us under that age of 17. The content in movies can be graphic and difficult for some young adults to handle. I feel the strict rules are necessary for society to operation on a balanced level and maintain a healthy environment.
Thanks for the post! Hope you're having a good weekend!
