Our Children


We should, definitely protect our children from subjects featuring adult content.  So many things these days are not just full of adult content but absolutely saturated with extreme versions of adult content.  A lot of media while determined to be for mature audiences only are still marketed to children.  Once a child wants something they seem pretty capable of convincing adults to buy it for them whether or not it has been determined for adults only. I think that reading is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to screening our children from media featuring adult content.  There are several different forms of media that could be harmful to children.           
Movies, video games, TV shows, books, magazines and social media are just some of the many forms of media out there for our children to absorb.  Some forms of media such as pornography are obviously not for children.  Other forms of media do not automatically presents themselves as bad for our children.  Video games are one of the worst things for our children when not properly monitored.  A lot of adults feel that because video games are animated that they are okay for children.  While majority of video games are not just violent but also pornographic in nature.
When it comes to less extreme versions of such media some kids will be just fine.  Such as well adjusted children that have had the differences between fiction and reality explained to them.  It is the kids that that are left for their own imaginations to determine what is right or wrong after being influenced by such extreme forms of media that we have to worry about.
