中请将下面这段话翻译成英文：
当今，人们讨论最多的社会问题就是大学生的道德规范问题。从大学生吸烟、考试以及研究中的作弊，到金钱崇拜，甚至谋害其他同学，他们中的许多人对那些大学生“应该做”或“不应该做”的道德规范持漠视态度。
产生这一社会问题的原因是多种的。首先，由于要适应社会和学业方面的变化，大学生会遇到很多问题，而他们中有些人并没有做好准备来迎接残酷的挑战。因此如果这些问题处理不当，就会导致悲剧。云南大学的学生马加爵所犯的杀人案就是一个很好的例证。其次，随着现代社会的进步，人与人之间的感情日趋淡漠，关系也逐渐功利化，许多大学生狂热地追求物质享受，他们并不理解生活的真正含义。
如何解决这个问题呢?在我看来，第一，心理问题逐渐成为学校暴力的主要因素，它将会影响大学生的心理健康和学校的稳定，因此，大学有必要把心理学设置为基础课程。第二，学校应该加强大学生的道德教育，学生应该更多地了解中国的道德传统。第三，学校应该引导学生发展他们各自方面的能力，特别是自我控制能力，诚信度，以及抗挫能力方面。
参考译文
One of the much-talked-about present-day social problems is the morality of university students. From smoking, cheating in exams and researches to money worship, even murdering others students, many of them are indifferent to such things as “should” or “should not”.
The causes of this social problem are varied. To begin with, college students experience a number of problems due to the adjustments they are required to make in their social and academic lives. Some of them haven’t got themselves ready for the cruel challenges. So if the problems can’t be handled appropriately, they can lead to tragedy. There is a best example—the homicide committed by Ma Jiajue, a student from Yunnan University. Furthermore, with the advancement of modern society, people tend to become more and more fickle and utilitarian. Many university students are in hot pursuit of material gains. They are unable to understand what a true life is.
How to solve the problem? In my opinion, firstly psychological problems are becoming a major factor for school violence. It will affect the psychological health of university students and the stability of universities. So, it’s essential that psychology be set as a basic course in universities. Secondly, universities ought to enhance their moral education, and students should know more about Chinese moral traditions. Thirdly, students should be guided to develop their abilities in all respects, especially self-control, trustworthiness and endurance of frustration.
