Movie audiences, film critics, and others are involved in determining movie ratings. Ratings are important in guiding parents to select appropriate films for their children. The Board of Parents is a panel of film-loving parents who decide which movies deserve high or low ratings. These parents are selected to represent the diversity of American parents and represent the majority view of this segment of society. There is no prior connection between these parents and the movie industry, and the independent Classification and Rating Administration employ them.
