Draft of two laws

One way of slowing down and eventually stopping the deteriorating moral standards that characterize society today is to enforce legislation that is targeted at improving them. The media in the present times are filled with stories of individuals engaging in terrifying acts of violence at a very tender age.

There have also been numerous cases of which, in most cases interfere with the education of affected teenagers. Some experts state that some of these and many more other from what teens see and learn from the media (Berkowitz, 1979), and hence the need for legislation that would help educate and discourage young people from engaging in such incidences.

The first law that should be enacted states that it would be illegal for an operator or proprietor of an to knowingly exhibit or permit the showing of any film that contains scenes that are likely to harm young minds. Such scenes would be those representing or describing, in any form, nudity, sexual acts, abusive language, extreme violence, or any form of abuse that may be found appealing to the prurient and is blatantly offensive to the society as a whole about what is deemed as being appropriate to minors.

Young minds, according to this law, are individuals aged 17 and below. Under this law, film implies series or motion picture films, which may either be short subject or full length. These however do not consist of broadcasts showing the current occurrences or pictorial happenings of the day.

The second law is meant to protect animals, wild and domestic from human exploitation. Human Beings, in some instances, exploit animals in the name of entertainment. Some of these exploitations lead to injury and in worst-case scenarios, the death of the animals. During acts of animal wrestling, animals do not know when to stop fighting and in most cases, these fights lead to major injuries and even death. This second law should be enforced to discourage any acts that are targeted at exploiting animals in any way.
