Response to New Ratings

Although, I understand how the new ratings make it easier to define categories of movies , it would provide parents with much less information. By providing parents with either an all admitted or an 18 plus rating it makes it increasingly difficult to decide whether or not , it fit for a child to view. What a parent is willing to allow a 5, 9 ,13 and 15 year old to see is often quite different. With the new rating system it would very difficult for parents to make such decisions without first viewing the movies themselves, which has the potential to be time consuming and unrealistic. There is a huge difference between a 13 year old and an 18 old and despite the flaws of the current rating system it does address this difference.
