V-Chip

I think that the V-Chip is an effective way from keeping children of certain ages from accessing or watching certain television shows. I just think that parents need to be active enough if they care about what their kids watch and activate the controls on their television to block certain shows. That is the parents discretion, hence why they put the parental discretion is advised before shows that may be too violent, portray sexuality, profanity, etc. I don't think that many parents actually do take advantage of such technology though. They let their kids watch whatever they want. If I were a parent I would let my kids watch what they want to an extent. There are some shows on television nowadays that are just way too much for children of certain ages. I wouldn't go by the FCC's ratings though. I would use my own discretion.
