Writer or Viewer?

I think that the responsibilty of what people watch today falls inbetween. The writer should care about what he writes and whether or not it alines with what he believes, but today unfortunatly that does not seem to happen that often. Viewers, well most viewers are smart enough to figure out if they are watching somthing they should or not and they can't blame the writer for their viewing of the show. Writers are responsible for what they write in some way or another, but viewers can't blame them for their kids acting a certain way if they allowed their child to watch the show and then that child went out and copied the behavior. That is ineffitable. For all we know the writers wouldn't write what they write if they were held responsible and if viewers stopped watching the shows with inapproiate behavior they would stop writing it. It is a two way street and everyone who takes apart in the show, movie, book, or anything that someone has to write will be responsible in some way as to what they took in or wrote.
