MPAA.
3.) I
narrowed it by what I discovered in JSTOR and ERIC, as well as many criticisms
on the web.
4.) I
used the OC Online Library and researched the web for sources.

shown biases to content over others, and loss its stringency on content over
the years.

are the MPAA, the box-office hits, and their correlation. This also includes
the MPAA’s demographic, the parents and children—the general viewing public.

experienced, Psychologists, Teachers, Parents, Doctors, Business Analyzers, Journalists,
and the MPAA itself.

12.)
By giving sources from well-known
critics, using a wide range of sources to prove non-stagnate results, and
varying studies that point to similar results.
13.)
By
the end of this paper, you will hopefully recognize that the MPAA is a faulty
and crooked system for evaluating movies with bias to content and value…
14.)
… Due to Dismissal of Proper Surrogate
Parenting, “Ratings Creep”, and How the Public Resents It.
15.)
I use children, since the MPAA relates
to children, as a negotiating point, as well as point out contradicting points
from the MPAA and their stubbornness towards change of language and sex but
openness to violence.
16.)
I think so.
17.)
I use a well-organized format, I cite my
sources—my many sources, use credible
information, pick from different formats of sources, and organize it to make
sense in MLA.
