Genel İzleyici Kitlesi Turkey 18+ (English: General Audience) 7A 13A 15A Motion picture content rating system A motion picture content rating system is an organization designated to classify films based on their suitability for audiences due to their treatment of issues such as sex, violence, or substance abuse; their use of profanity; or other matters typically deemed unsuitable for children or adolescents. Most countries have some form of rating system that issues determinations variously known as certifications, classifications, certificates, or ratings. Age recommendations, of either an advisory or restrictive capacity, are often applied in lieu of censorship; in some jurisdictions movie theaters may have a legal obligation to enforce restrictive ratings. In countries such as Australia and Singapore, an official government body decides on ratings; in other countries such as the United States, it is done by industry committees with little if any official government status. In most countries, however, films that are considered morally offensive have been censored, restricted, or banned. Even if the film rating system has no legal consequences, and a film has not explicitly been restricted or banned, there are usually laws forbidding certain films, or forbidding minors to view them. The influence of specific factors in deciding a rating varies from country to country. In countries such as the United States, films with strong sexual content tend to be restricted to older viewers, though those same films are very often considered suitable for all ages in countries such as France and Germany. In contrast, films with violent content which would be rated leniently in the United States and Australia are often subject to high ratings and sometimes even censorship in countries such as Germany and Finland. Other factors may or may not influence the classification process, such as being set within a non-fictional historical context, whether the film glorifies violence or drug use, whether said violence or drug use is carried out by the protagonist, with whom the viewer should empathize, or by the antagonist. In Germany, for example, films depicting explicit war violence in a real war context (such as the Second World War) are handled more leniently than films with purely fictional settings. A film may be produced with a particular rating in mind. It may be re-edited if the desired rating is not obtained, especially to avoid a higher rating than intended. A film may also be re-edited to produce a different version for other countries.

Children under the age of 13 are admitted Categories of the Argentinian classification system if accompanied by an adult. +16: Suitable for 16-year-olds and over. +18: Suitable for 18-year-olds and over. C: Suitable for 18-year-olds and over. Restricted to specially licensed venues. Australia The Classification Board and Classification Review Board are government-funded organisations which classify all films that are released for public exhibition.[2][3] Advisory categories General (G) – General. The content is very mild in impact. The G classification is suitable for everyone. Parental Guidance (PG) – Parental guidance recommended. The content is mild in impact. It is not recommended for viewing or playing by persons under 15 without guidance from parents or guardians. Mature (M) – Recommended for mature audiences. The content is moderate in impact. Children under 15 may legally access this material because it is an advisory category. However, M classified films and computer games may include classifiable elements such as violence and nudity of moderate impact that are not recommended for children under 15 years. Restricted categories Mature Accompanied (MA15+) – Not suitable for people under 15. Under 15s must be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian. The content is strong in impact. Restricted (R18+) – Restricted to 18 years and over. The content is high in impact. Despite this category being legally restricted, in Queensland the restriction is not applicable to persons under 2.[4] The Australian classifications Adult film categories Restricted (X18+) – Restricted to 18 years and over. This classification is a special and legally restricted category which contains only sexually explicit content. That is, material which shows actual sexual intercourse and other sexual activity between consenting adults. X18+ films are only available for sale or hire in the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory. RC – Refused Classification. Banned from sale or hire in the country and cannot be legally imported. Films are rated RC if their content is very high in impact and exceeds the guidelines. Films intended to inform, educate or instruct or concerned with sport, religion or music are exempt from classification provided they do not contain material that would result in an "M" rating or higher if submitted for classification.[5] Austria Motion pictures are rated by the Austrian Board of Media Classification (ABMC) for the Federal Ministry of Education, Arts and Culture (Bundesministerium für Unterricht, Kunst und Kultur).

  • EFA and Ausgamers' Submission Is Here
    Submission to the Public Consultation on an R18+ Classification for Computer Games The Australian National Classification Scheme should include an R18+ classification category for computer games Electronic Frontiers Australia and AusGamers Prepared on behalf of Electronic Frontiers Australia and AusGamers by Nicolas Suzor, Kylie Pappalardo and Jessica Citizen, assisted by Matt Postle and Peta Waller-Bryant. Many thanks to Julian Merlo for his research on comparative ratings, and to Jeremy Huppatz, Luke Tubnor, and others for their comments on drafts of this paper. Layout by Amanda Rainey at Raivans Design. February 2010 Electronic Frontiers Australia and AusGamers Introduction The purpose of this paper is to put forward arguments and evidence to support the case that it is time to upgrade the National Classification System (NCS) to include an R18+ adult classification for computer games. In this submission, we make three main arguments: 1. the arguments against introducing an R18+ rating are premised primarily on incorrect assumptions about games and their effects; and 2. introducing an R18+ classification to bring games in line with films will better empower Australian adults to make more informed decisions for themselves and on behalf of the children for whom they are responsible; 3. Australian adults should not be prevented from engaging with interactive entertainment that deals with complex adult themes and material and imagery that is unsuitable for children. This paper was compiled on behalf of Electronic Frontiers Australia (EFA) and AusGamers. EFA is Australia’s peak national non-profit organisation representing Internet users concerned with on-line freedoms and rights. AusGamers is one of Australia’s largest gaming and technology sites, and has been a primary hub for the gaming community in Australia since its creation in 1999.

  • Chapter Iv Policy Taken by the Government Toward Porn
    CHAPTER IV POLICY TAKEN BY THE GOVERNMENT TOWARD PORN INDUSTRY The history of obscenity in Japan is very long although the process is influenced by the Japanese society's point of view by not paying attention to norms in a more moral order of life related to sex, but the consideration of the Japanese government is how Japan is acceptable in the life of the nation and state in international world. Since the end of the Second World War Article 175 of the Japanese Criminal Code, known as the obscenity law (more precisely the Waisetsu Butsu Hanpu To / Distribution of Obscene Objects), has represented the principal official restrictions on freedom of expression, which are guaranteed by Article 21 of the Constitution 1947. Paragraph 2 of this article reads how "there is no censorship to be maintained". The obscene term (waisetsu in Japanese) first appeared in Article 259 of the 1880 Criminal Code although Article 175 is the main legal basis for regulating obscenity. Altered numerous times since it was implemented in 1907, it specifies that a person who distributes, sells or publicly shows indecent documents, images, or materials shall be punished to detention for no more than 2 years or a small fine, not exceeding 2,500,000 yen. It also applies to those who have similar 59 intentions104. However, Article 175 only focused on the distribution and sale of indecent materials. Government or court administrator has not been legally forced to determine what is meant by "material that is by a nature obscene"105. In this chapter the author will explain what policy taken by Japanese government toward porn industry, how it works, and the problem it has.

This study contributes to the field of children and media by looking into the perceptions and construction of risk by self-regulatory organizations, as well as into self-regulatory effectiveness. The thesis also discusses the struggle and the compromises between child safety, cultural differences and freedom of expression. It takes up the question of how the cultural differences affect the age ratings and content descriptors. All video games rated in Europe and Japan between 2010-2016 are analyzed to show the differences between the regions. Also, content analyses are performed on 24 video games with emblematic differences in age ratings or content descriptors. The findings suggest that cultural differences in how the two systems view crime, non-realistic violence, realistic blood, non-sexual nudity, romantic behavior, and sexualized behavior is responsible for some of the differences in age ratings and content descriptors.

It is the result of my own work and includes nothing that is the outcome of work done in collaboration except where specifically indicated. Many of the ideas in this thesis were the product of discussion with my supervisors, Gary Bettinson and Jonathan Munby. Excerpts of this thesis have been published in the following conference manuscripts and academic publications. Ryu, JaeWook and full qualifications Lancaster University, UK I Acknowledgement Foremost, I would like to express great thanks to my two supervisors, Gary Bettinson and Jonathan Munby, to encourage and support my PhD study and research. Without any help and supports from them, I would not complete this research. In particular, Gary and Jonathan continuously inspired me to improve my thesis with their thoughtful advice on my research. I could not have imagined having a better supervisor and mentor for my PhD. In particular, I appreciate Gary’s continuous support and help when I had a challenging time in my life. Writing this thesis was sometimes very tough and painful in terms of time management. I know he always contacted many university staff to solve and help my issues and concerns. Without Gary’s help and support, I could not complete this thesis.

  • Cultures of Computer Game Concerns
    Estrid Sørensen (ed.) Cultures of Computer Game Concerns MatteRealities / VerKörperungen: Perspectives from Empirical Science Studies | Volume 23 Editorial Since the late 1970s, empirical science studies have developed into a key field of research at the intersection of science, technology and society. This field mer- ges a repertoire of theories and methods stemming primarily from cultural anthropology, sociology, linguistics and history. Its main characteristic is the detailed analysis of scientific practices and epistemic cultures and how these become entangled with public discourses and everyday life. This focus tries to reveal specific, local configurations and their epistemological as well as social consequences. Beyond a mere deconstruction, science studies are constantly looking to engage with the fields in which they do their work. The goal of this book series is to offer to scholars a German and English speaking Forum that – develops inter- and trans-disciplinary bodies of knowledge in the areas of medicine and the life sciences and makes these nationally and internatio- nally available; – supports young scientists through opening up a new field of work which runs across existing disciplinary structures; – encourages the formation of tandems through co-authorship. In particular, it supports, evaluates and comments on collaborative projects with collea- gues from the natural and engineering sciences. The series is directed towards scholars and students from both the empirical science/social studies and the natural sciences and medicine. The series is edited by Martin Döring and Jörg Niewöhner. Advisory Board: Prof. Dr. Thomas Lemke Prof. Dr. Paul Martin Prof. Dr. Brigitte Nerlich John Law Prof. Dr. Regine Kollek Prof. Dr.
