There are five different types of movie ratings, those are: G, PG, PG-13, R, and NC-17. These movie ratings are based off of parental view called CARA, Classification and Ratings Association. The movie rating is usually seen before a commercial or a preview of a movie is shown on screen. These movie ratings were created by MPAA, Motion Picture Association of America. They were first created in 1922 and refurbished by Jack Valenti in 1968. Though has its upside still has some flaws and the rules created for these ratings are usually broken ever so often. This is why parents should know what their children are watching before allowing them to see it, if it mean reading reviews, understanding to movie rating, or even going to see the movie before their child watches it first. Plus, they also keep children from watching something they shouldn't be or don't want to see.

All in all it is our right and responsibility to know what we are viewing in a movie and what this movie contains.
