Children knifed to death

News these days feature a lot of incidents of children getting stabbed to death by other children. It is important to ask why some children can so easily stab someone let alone kill someone. One thing that springs to mind is the low moral values. I cannot think that children who carry knives have no intention of killing someone. They just don't seem to care enough about life.

Why have the moral values of some children disappeared? I am tempted to say that the violent video games, films and music are the problem. They do not influence everyone but I think certain children are easily influenced. It would be nice if game manufacturers could produce an entertaining game that can educate good moral values. The market for such games is wide open compared to the violent games. More points for players who show a good moral character.

There is perhaps hope for this because I read the other day that hip hop or rap music is not as popular as before. My explanation for this is to do with the children who have parents that grew up on such music. Since children like to rebel against their parents, these children cannot easily rebel with rap music They are perhaps ready to rebel by becoming morally good.
