Let's Educate!
Some rated-R movies in today's market are put into an informational context. To educate teens and young adults on a level that is eye-catching and attention grabbing at school is difficult. Speaking from current experience, I'm sure my peers would agree that Mr. Kadel's clips of the History Channel's Crusaders, weren't so thrilling. On the other hand, Brad Pitt made the Crusades come alive in Troy {2004}. Rated-R movies can still preform t he same informational task as an episode on the history channel can, it just puts the information in such a way that is comprehensible for a teenage mind. In sum, if don't give those who can’t view (under 17) the opportunity to watch them, aren't we taking away an opportunity to learn?

Newton states on "moviepilot.com", in reference to the comparison between restricted and PG-13,”The only difference in the R-rated version is that it actually shows the physical consequence.” In which this could potentially inform today’s kids in a positive way. Our society changes every second, and with that change comes new responsibilities and new rules. In most instances a film can show those changes or current events, which essentially can prevent something bad from happening. But if they were never show the clip or movie they could never learn what to do or how to react to it.
