If you could do one thing to help society before you die, what would it be?

Question

be specific

wow...these are all so powerful and uplifting! :)

Answer 1

For me the first thing i wish would be done before i die is for women to love each other, take care of each other ,assist in the bringing up of good citizens in the world and society at large.I wish all women would regard themselves as royalty ,queens and princesses. Not to submit themselves to men and stop encouraging men to treat them as if though they are kings because ther are becomming too much broken homes and families just because men want to fullfil their lust and do not want to satisfy with what god has given to them.The world really need god to survive the next generation I believe that if women would start to believe in themselves more they would think twice to breakup marriages and families,and would therefore put man in their place.Remember God made women smarter than men so we should be stronger and smarter to say no to them.We as women can start healing the world and put love back in our children's heart,if we start to feel pain for one another and support each other i believe that we would have a stronger and better future for and with our children./// We have but a little while to make a difference so lets start with the little ones///////

Answer 2

OH!
For a 6-month period, just to see what happens, how it goes, I'd:

Use all the money and prizes from game and amusement TV programs to upgrade the lives of families living below the poverty level---no, below the Self-Sustenance level;

Regulate design and production of vehicles such that they're environmentally sound;

Offer Home Education for All. You just pick up the phone, select a subject and a representative comes by your home with education, like a tutor.

Cultural Embellishment for All. Learn what others believe, why, how their lives are, what concerns they have. The what and why about the actions of others. The goal is empathy.

Include work experience and volunteerism in all school graduating requirements, beginning with Jr. High or Middle School. Earlier grades would have programs readying the kids for these stages, while allowing them to volunteer on their campuses.

Lastly, I'm not dying without meeting Ringo, so let's get that that ball rolling first.

Answer 3

I would evolve society, which in essence I would be helping it. I would try to develop the first anthrobot. When I speak of anthrobot, I speak of android/personal bot. If I succeded in my lifetime, I would be able to see the change.

The first android would change economies, societies, science, technology, medicine, military, etc...

This isn't a far fetched idea, it will eventually happen. So the question would be when will it happen.

Answer 4

If this were possible, I'd either:

1) Abolish religion
2) Abolish nationality (as in different nations instead of one world)

These are two huge reasons why we are not one race of humans but rather a group of scattered, warring tribes.

Answer 5

I would give everybody equal opportunity for education. Opportunity is the only thing that prevents people from being able to support themselves and raise out of poverty and other harsh conditions.

Answer 6

I would stop military foreign aid and use those funds for health care and education at home!

Answer 7

I would get two people with opposing views to listen, I mean really listen, to each other and decide they are each okay.

ahhhhhhhhhhh - the possibilities!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 8

Live a good life, do know harm, and adopt.

Answer 9

I would say yes for Euthanasia, and no for death penalty.
