Regulation
Regulation is the rules and restrictions that a media product has to follow.
Films are regulated with ages restrictions based on swearing and violence.
Television has an open audience and media on television is only regulated through the way it is funded and even then this is only a guideline. Swearing cannot be used before the the 9pm watershed but this can be solved by making a 9pm watershed programme available on demand.
Livingstone and Lunt criticised the way that media is regulated in the sense that not everything can be easily regulated anymore.
Cultivation, normalisation for children.
In America, Male and Female masturbation in media is seen as different.
