Wow-I am happy that you are looking beyond the superficial of what most people today find important. When stars are the headlines in the news, this world has got its priorities messed up!
It's a monumental task for ONE person to deal with all of the problems in this world. What you should do is find what your talents are and apply them through volunteering.
This can be anywhere, thru your local animal shelter, hospital;
You can even feed people in nursing homes at mealtimes if you want to volunteer for that. They're always looking for volunteers. Or befriend some of these older people. Many families just dump them there and never come to see them again. It's really sad.
So find a place to spread the love you feel for your fellow humans and animals, and volunteer !

please read this story.
it has all elements of the frailty of the human spirit.
to me this man could have been the Christ in disguise. the untouchable of all untouchables. putting us to the test in which we failed miserably. we could have been heroes. if we could not solve this dilemma on a local level as a microcosm of the world how do you propose to actualize the world a better place merely by intellectualizing a potential theory. making the world a better place is a universal that has been pending since Eden. as long as there is the human element it will never be a better place. we are capable of such noble things but suffer from terrible nightmares. you're asking for divine intervention. it not likely to happen anytime soon. so think globally act locally and pray.

I think the first thing you need to do is change your mission from making everything right is this WORLD to making everything right in YOUR LIFE. You can't force other people to change. But if you lead a good life and lead by example many other people will CHOOSE to make changes
Be prayerful
Be helpful to your fellow man
Withhold judgement, that's not why we are here
If you meet a drug addict be thankful that you are sober then ask yourself what you can do to help him. Does he want help? Can you help him find rehab? Maybe he doesn't want to get clean. Can you invite him to church with you?
Think positively about the things you want to change. Don't allow the negative thoughts to occupy your time.
Read the Secret, if you haven't already. It can be a great addition to your spiritual beliefs
Do one good/nice thing for someone everyday.
Have you seen the movie Pay it Forward with Helen Hunt? I think that is a great idea. If we all help three people and they help three people who help three more people...........know what I mean?
Volunteer your time
Pick something you are passionate about and commit to it. Time a senior center, soup kitchen, food bank, local rec center, community clean up, a literacy organization, Red Cross, etc. You don't have to spread yourself thin to make a difference. You will touch more people that you can count if you volunteer just a few hours a week.
Realize that the world is already a good place. If God wanted us to be "perfect" He would have created us that way. We can make our lives better and we can touch the lives of other people.
Every moment of this life has a lesson to teach us. Listen for the lessons and react to them.

I remember on 9/11 that all Americans stood together with a strength never seen before Showing that this country was great even through tragedy. If we could find in our hearts to be that type of an American we would be a great Nation We had faith unity and God In that time.

Find out your purpose in life. God made you for a reason. If you are here in this world asking what can you do find out with the creator. After all he's the one you're seeing after all this ends. Read purpose driven life by Rick Warren. You wont regret it.

Eliminate the wrong answers and you'll find your way to the right one. The answer to your question is one that no-one but yourself can provide you with.
(Alternate answer: realize that there is no separation between God and man; that everything is as it must be; the kingdom of God is WITHIN THEE. Such realizations must come from you and not from me (or anyone else).)
