That's a hard question, Ush. I agree that the rate of violence among young people in America is on the rise. I blame sin...which has always existed...and entropy.....things are bound to get worse before the "end times"
Violence is a part of human nature....
I DO condemn video games and media for glorifying violence, (generalization here) they don't give an accurate picture of the consequences of violence....but real life crimes are still the responsibility of the people who commit them.
There is no "rate of sin" ........as I can see anyway....it just exists. the Lady has a point about people wanting to rebel.....(big generalization) generations have a habit of rebelling agains authority.....prob is that with everyone wanting to be "different" people end up making the same mistakes 😉
