MPAA: Motion Picture Association of America
This organization was set up in order to promote the spread of American movies. It is active in many fields such
as promoting exports overseas and cracking down on pirated movies. On the U.S. domestic front, it helps
viewers exercise voluntary controls by establishing a rating system for violence, sexual content and
discriminatory content, for example. Its rating standards are strict and its screening targets images and language
that would hardly raise an eyebrow in Japan.
