Voluntary Self Regulation of the Movie Industry
The Motion Picture Association (MPA) is a trade association that represents the major film studios in the United States. The MPA's mission is to promote the interests of the film industry and to protect the rights of filmmakers.
One of the MPA's key functions is to administer the Motion Picture Content Rating System. The rating system is a voluntary self-regulation program that provides parents with information about the content of movies and helps them make informed decisions about which movies their children should see.
The rating system is based on a set of guidelines that were developed by the MPA in consultation with parents, educators, and other stakeholders. The guidelines take into account factors such as violence, sex, nudity, and language.
The MPA's rating system is not a government-mandated program. However, it is widely recognized and respected by parents and filmmakers alike. The rating system helps parents make informed decisions about which movies their children should see, and it helps filmmakers avoid making movies that are too violent or sexually explicit for their intended audience.
