Media Regulation

We all enjoy being surrounded by media, because that is how we connect to the world and it has also become a way for us to express ourselves through social media. Much of the world still watches television, and of course, that is where mass media is concentrated - whether it is the news, TV shows, reality shows, advertisements, and movies.

Being part of the general public, we often prefer to have some regulation in the media to help filter out some things that aren't necessarily "good" or "healthy" for our people. I am talking about regulating media content where it they try to filter out obscene, sexual, indecency, and profanity contents. All these regulations help to manage our morality. Without them, I cannot imagine living in a society where everyone is not longer innocent, children who aren't mature for these materials will all be exposed and will go on for the next generation and so on.
If we impose regulations, then it will be in the public's interest and if we don't impose regulations it will be in the free market's interest. As long as we can balance out the amount of regulations, then it will still be better than no regulations at all.
