Media controversy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Media such as computer and video games, television programs, motion pictures, theatrical plays, comics, books, magazines, music, concerts, and Web sites, have been subjects of controversy, including criticism by parents and legal guardians of media consumers, religious figures, and politicians. Elements of media include violence, political opinion, references to fascist regimes, profanity, sexuality, nudity, capital punishment, horror, and drug abuse. In some cases, this criticism has led to censorship of the media, for example in the case of banned books and media ratings systems [1].
