If you had the power to abolish three things in our society, what would they be? Free-response. It's ok to give short answers.

Society? Which society? There are numerous cultures around the world, and the each one has matters that are not present in the others, so the only thing you may have to do is move to another culture, if that's possible.
I couldn't remove disease, because that's not from human society (although it's influenced by culture). Instead, disease comes from nature.
I could eliminate things done by the government, but there are thousands of governments around the world. And in many countries the government has limited influence (while in others its influence is too great).
If I were to wish for something to cease among the people, that would impose my will, overriding their freedom, and I prefer not to do that.
I could abolish practices of corporations, but another corporation is likely to come in and fill the vacuum shortly.
So rather than abolish 3 things, I prefer to insert 3 things:
1. Education in critical thinking integrated into school curriculum.
2. A mandatory annual intercultural dialogue for all school children, with updates.
3. Earth Day would become a world-wide holiday, with as much panache as Christmas, Eid, or Yom Kippur.

1) I would abolish genocide, terrorism, murder and rape, but I have no idea how...except by "magic".
2) I'd abolish abortions as a selfish convience, and convert those unborn babies into pre-birth adoptions. Barren women want (need) those innocent little ones.
3) I would abolish gratuitus violence and soft pornography in the Hollywood film & TV industry.

Suffering
Ignorance
Prejudice
There are so many things I would like to see removed from society, but the ones I mentioned above stop people as a whole from moving forward and allowing possitive changes come to all of us.

?????, It sounds like we are one in the comparable politically. yet as a exchange of spieling out an essay, i'm in simple terms going to propose which you study each and every political e book written via Ralph Nader. a minimum of you will discover somebody who isn't in simple terms like-minded, you will see how tirelessly he has labored for the exchange that's so badly mandatory in this u . s .. human beings discredit him and brush aside him as a crackpot, and it relatively is the push aside of those ideals (democracy and civil liberties) that shop us caught. We (U.S. electorate) carry the palms of people who carry us down, and issues are never going to alter except we awaken and vote exterior the two-social gathering gadget.

When you say "our society" I can only assume you mean in the USA. If that's the case I would answer with. The IRS...the electoral college and credit cards.
