I have fun playing the game. The character in the game is described as a black gangster who lives in South Central Los Angeles. He is skilled with careful car thievery and expert drive-by shooting managing smart prostitutes. I think like some people that the videogame should be restricted to be watched by mature adults only as it contains violent scenes and vulgar languages that could have a negative influence on young viewers. Watching the game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the ethical choices of the characters can have a bad influence where values are presented in being violent. They practice how to fire guns to get better and better on how to aim or shoot. They steal or grab someone else’s car and engage in prostitution. CJ hits on anybody and the player loses its money is the gameplay . He is involved with drug dealers and gangbangers and corruption. We do things knowing what is morally right or wrong. Based on Utilitarian theory , we can resolve behavior problems at a given circumstances and deal with the consequences. Everybody will be involved in crimes if one reason is not true in one case to another. Moral regulations to resolve the ethical issues can protect us against violent crimes and we can avoid the bad consequences like violating our rights and other people’s rights. Moral ethics would require us to come up with regulations and such could come up with a legislation on certain moral issues about videogames.

Currently, there is a ratings system in place for videogames that is similar to the one that exists for movies. GTA: San Andreas has a rating that indicates that it is not for children (the rating is "M" for mature). Do you think that is enough?
