"It's on the Leaving Cert syllabus so many students will be keen to see the latest adaptation Is Wuthering Heights suitable for teenagers? The film carries a 15A cert, so yes, technically, it is. But lots of things that are 15A - even those specifically aimed at teenagers like Emily in Paris - have a lot of sometimes quite graphic sex. Does that make them inappropriate?"
"But lots of things that are 15A - even those specifically aimed at teenagers like Emily in Paris - have a lot of sometimes quite graphic sex. What else, apart from sex, makes something unsuitable? Obviously there's drugs, violence, that sort of thing. But there are also, I think, attitudes, perspectives, world views, that are not helpful for young minds."
Many students on the Leaving Cert syllabus will be keen to see the latest adaptation of Wuthering Heights. The film carries a 15A certificate, which technically permits teenage viewing. Numerous 15A-rated titles, even those targeted at teenagers like Emily in Paris, include sometimes quite graphic sexual content. Graphic sex raises questions about appropriateness for young viewers. Concerns extend beyond sexual content to include drugs and violence. Attitudes, perspectives, and worldviews presented in media can also be unhelpful for developing minds. Assessing suitability requires considering both explicit content and the underlying messages conveyed to teenagers.
