However the MTV culture influences mainly over young kids from the ages of 12 and up. Most of these kids are probably able to disenable the device or simply go watch MTV somewhere else, where it is not prohibited. These are young kids, who will by nature will want to do things they are told not to do. .
Therefore there has to be a higher authority regulating shows like Undressed where sexual promiscuity is glorified among young teenagers. If there is not a halt to shows that promote a life where pregnancy and a risk to STDs and AIDS can happen in an instant, than socially we are killing ourselves. The government should have a role in this matter.
As Americans we have our right to freedom of speech and religion and it is clear that no one can tell us how to live our lives as long as it doesn't harm someone else's. Yet this negative attitude that is being created by MTV and delivered to young viewers, will harm us as an entire society in the long run. The government in order to prevent this from worsening should pass a law regulating shows that depict both males and females in a negative way feeding them into stereotypical categories. Sexual and violent misconduct should not be approved by government standings and should not be aired on MTV or any other show. .
In order for this to work fair and properly a selected committee should consist of young people who represent all the different backgrounds in the U.S. These young men and women should influence the decision that is made on what is appropriate for their peers to watch on television. Music artists should be warned that if their music videos are not respectable enough by government standards than their videos will not be aired. Because MTV is such a monopoly, it is practically the only station where music videos are aired and if musicians acknowledge that their video cannot be seen by their fans than money will not be made, because its through television that they gain the most popularity.
