America has come a very long way when it has came to topics that involve sex compares to other countries around the world. In America, sex wasn’t very much talked about and a lot of people were very quiet about it throughout the 20th century. In 2019, when it has came down to sex and nudity, it has became little bit more laid back than it was back then. In movies today, they could be rated for a lot of things like drugs, cursing, violence, gore and blood. A movie could be rated NC-17 if it contains a lot of sex and violence. A movie can be rated PG-13 if there is some violence but not a lot of blood. These ratings are very key because it can help limit the movie to a specific audience like teenagers. If you wanted to make movie that was PG-13, then it would be available to at least a lot of people. The only problem is that if you are under the age of 13, you would need a parent or guardian to accompany you to the movie. If the movie that you see is rated R, you would have to bring someone over the age of 18 to actually see the movie if you are under 18. NC-17 means that only the adults can go see the movie and no one else can actually see it. In other places around the globe, when it comes to that, it is very different and not the same. If a movie gets a rated R or a NC-17, then usually it would mean that there is a lot of violence instead of sex. The main reasons why movies are rated like this is because many people don’t want to receive letters or any calls, getting yelled at over the content of the movie that they put out. I think people should be able to watch what they want and not have to get slack about why they watch it.
