TV Ratings

I believe that TV ratings can be very useful.  Before now I probably would have said that they are stupid and useless but now that I have a child it has changed my whole perspective. 

I would not want her seeing and watching shows that aren't appropriate or are violent or contain sexual content.  Although she is too young to understand when she does get a little bit older it will be a helpful way to monitor and decide what she can and can't watch. I think a lot of parents find this a useful tool. The way that every program on TV is rated is not only nice for parents but also for yourself to decide if what you are about to watch is healthy for your mind.  Sometimes watching violent movies can lead to violent behavior so by having ratings we can avoid certain material we don't feel like watching. 

So all in all I believe that ratings are a good thing to have and are helpful  for parents and everyone else who watches television programs.
