Answer 2

You know what everyone could really do to make the most impact on the world right now? It's not buying a hybrid, giving to charity, or practicing better religion.

It's by being nice to someone today. Open a door for a stranger, let a driver into traffic, pay toll for the guy behind you on the freeway, Give a child a quarter for a gumball at the machine. Do the simple things, everyday. Be nicer to one another. We are all in this life together.

Remember the sense of hope and community we had after 9/11. Practice that daily. Do nice things.

Answer 3

I've tried to make a difference by raising my kids not to be bigots/racists. They will pass that down to their children, and so on. I try to work in homeless shelters at least 4 or 5 times a year, but I guess that's not changing the world. We donate as much as we can to charities for children. Everyone can do something to help change at least the corner of their small world and hope that it filters down in a good way. I'm nice to this very cranky lady that lives down our street, mostly because everyone else is mean to her (she's actually quite mean herself and dislikes children intensely), and I think being nice to her might help thaw out that freeze she's got herself in. Not so far, but I'm going to keep at it lol!

Answer 4

What I AM doing to make a difference I do one person at a time... one child at a time... one person on Yahoo Answers at a time. Sometimes it's a random act of kindness. Sometimes it's giving someone the information, guts and empowerment they need to leave an abuser. Sometimes it's supporting a young mother who is afraid with her new responsibility. Sometimes it's taking food to a food closet or clothing to a shelter or coordinating a winter coat drive for low income families at the local elementary school.

I co-founded a non-profit organization for children with a rare genetic disorder. I have a child with disabilities myself. I support other parents in similar situations. I act as a child advocate for parents during the IEP process when they don't understand how to get services for their child. I still volunteer for my local Head Start program as a community representative at the regional level. I am raising seven children of my own plus a stepdaughter who's had it pretty rough and hoping they'll all turn out to be incredible "giving back" human beings just because it's what they've grown up with.

No matter how little you have, someone else has less and needs more. Share yourself, your time, your talents, your food, your extra sweaters, your ability to read or cook or sew or raise funds for a worthy cause. Sometimes I get tired. Sometimes I get dirty. Sometimes I get frustrated and exhausted because there's only one of me and there's so much work to be done.

Helen Keller was deaf and blind and still found ways to learn, then teach and give back. She said "I am only one; but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something."

It keeps me going. Let it keep you going too.

Answer 5

I write and speak a lot concerning the need for responsible productive discourse and an end to divisiveness. I try to encourage those who read my work or listen to research issues and judge matters for themselves rather than listening to others and blindly following the opinions they hear (including mine). If we would look at issues through the everyday people involved we would get a different picture than we do from so called pundits. Humanity has more in common than we have differences. Beginning with those commonalities could be a great start.

Apart we can accomplish very little. Together we can accomplish much. Whilst we argue there is still poverty, racism, and regional strife multiplying around the globe. We have much work to do. Isn't it time we began?

Answer 6

Sad as it may sound...probably nothing. You're right though, the little things can make a difference in someone's life. You're obviously a caring, compassionate person.

Answer 7

People don't want the responsibility of doing anything. Like live 8, it was just a bunch of people standing around listening to music. how many of those people are giving to charity to help end world hunger? i would say less than 1%. People don't want the responsibility. Like hippes, that stand around and complain about corporations but refuse to do anything other than listen to a jam band. People need to cowboy up!

Answer 8

i'm giving people free video lessons about chess online. :)
also, i take the bus to places instead of having my own car.
and.... i try to be nice to everybody i meet.

hopefully i'll have bigger goals soon.

but it's a very nice way of looking at growing and improving -- the positive effect you have on other people, and not material gain for yourself (which can just go on forever without achieving anything anyway).

Answer 9

Try to raise my 4 year old daughter to be a responsible adult.

Answer 10

I get involved by helping animals.And am generally a peace maker.
