Rating systems are deeply embedded in both American and Brazilian digital cultures, particularly in e-commerce (Amazon, OLX), streaming platforms (Netflix), and hospitality (Airbnb, booking.com). In Brazil, the sistema de classificação is heavily used for content ratings (cinema classifications G, PG, 12, 14, 16, 18), while in the USA, similar systems exist but with different categories. Both cultures rely heavily on online rating systems for consumer decision-making in the digital age.
