Poll Results (Week 8)

Do you think rating service is worth being implemented?

62.5% of the respondents agreed that rating service should be implemented because it is very helpful for users to know the rating of the content before viewing it.
37.5% of the respondents agreed that rating service should be implemented because because the users do not really care about the rating and just view it.

From poll analysis, this can be concluded that the majority preferred the implementation of rating service. Rating service gives people a better insight of how appropriate content would be for them. Especially for the parents, rating service would guide the parents to allow their children to either view the movie or not. For instance, in Malaysia, the current rating system states that viewer below 18 are forbidden to watch films or online issues that content excessive violent and horrifying scenes; non-excessive sex scenes or drug use and religious , political or mature telematic elements.
A few of the respondents felt that the rating service should not be implemented because most of them pay no interest on rating systems. Some state that the rating system would hinder the students to learn new things. Teenagers should be exposed to the world to prepare them for the future. Well, in this point parents play an important role to explain the significance of the actions in the movie to avoid confusion.
For me, I'll definitely support rating system. My little cousin desperately wanted to watch the 18SG horror movie. From that day onwards, I had to accompany her especially going to the washroom. The mind of a child is too fragile to accept such horrifying violence and murder.
What is your opinion?
