I would like to change society's outlook towards mental health. People think people with mental health issues are weak. Even if they don't think they are weak they don't know how to help them. All they need is little support. I understand people with mental health issues need to help themselves but support from other people can help them to bounce back

The constant sexualization of women and girls must end. End rape and punish rapists. Parents, teach your daughters that they are more than house cleaners and chattels to sell for a bride price, and by all means enroll them in self-defense classes as early as possible. Teach your sons that girls and women are full human beings with the same rights, hopes, abilities and ambitions as males. Men, stop leering, catcalling and making sexual jokes about women; rebuke your male associates for doing the same, and for heaven's sake, keep your hands to yourself. Create a business culture where women's ideas and abilities are taken as seriously as men's are, and where women are paid equally for equal work.

Governmental interference with what a woman does with her body.
I get it. I get the whole "right to life" bit. But if you're looking to reduce the number of terminated pregnancies, restricting (or eliminating) access is not the answer, especially when the rules are being made by old men who lack a sense of decency (not to mention a basic knowledge of biology!)
Other than making sure it's done safely and hygienically, the government shouldn't be involved at all. This decision is between you and your doctor.
There are better ways to "save babies".

I want to change the world. But I'm not sure what I can do.
If you ask me what I would like to change in the world, I wouldn't know where to begin, but I believe we should first start by changing ourselves
There is a saying by Rumi-"Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.'. I believe one step at a time. When we try to be a better version of ourselves, we can definitely help people around us. A change in perspective can also bring a lot of change for the immediate world around us.

Corruption of capitalism, all the niggling little laws that allow the rich to milk the middle class. For example copyright laws that provide protection (and revenue) for 70 years after the copyright holders death. If you can't get just compensation in the first 10 years it wasn't that good. The lack of anti-trust enforcement that allow giant corporations to overwhelm the market and eliminate competition. No enforcement of existing labor laws that allow immigrants and poor to work for too many hours without breaks, overtime or reasonable wages. The list goes on, and on, but if capitalism could be improved we would all be better off.

It's difficult deciding on just one thing the change. However, if I had to choose, I would choose to change how society has become judgmental and mean towards others. I lump the entitled mean judgmental behavior that I have witnessed, watched videos of and read about these past couple of years in the change. Often, I have found myself asking: "what is wrong with people today?" I miss the days of people being respectful of others. Our society has never been perfect, but things have gotten out of hand lately.

We should have free health care. Free college. And all empty buildings should be made up for the homeless. Honestly the rich should have to give half of their worth over a certain amount to the state they live in for these things. Free food for kids under 16. Free childcare. These should be given to help society. I know people will argue as there are better things to change but if we could equal out the status quo a bit then a leveler ground could be achieved for all to live in harmony. Vote for me for prez. I want to change this country.

in a school society i would change bullying. kids dont need to be bullying one another. Parents/adults should try and lead by example. This may happen at homes, out in public. Adults are the childs first teachers in life. As a teacher I feel for the kids that are being bullied. Racism due to the fact that some have different skin color. This doesnt change the fact that we are ALL still humans. We need to teach the children love for one another. I have had students transfer schools due to bullies interfering with their education. Often times the ones being bullied are the bright, intelligent students.

From my American perspective, there is far less concern for what is right and just and good (not that it was ever great). Instead the point is to win and to do so at all costs. But I also feels like it goes further. It's not good enough to win, you've got to crush your opponent. Whether in politics or business or matters of faith or education or any number of other things, people are unwilling to accept an outcome other than victory for themselves and their "team."

I would end the tribalism of group identity and us versus them. When you're living in a cave and a bear or another group of 10 people 5 miles away were your greatest threat, it made sense. Now, my best friend can be a gay programmer living in Thailand I met through work and the love of my life can be a black farmer from Norway. I'd like us to stop identifying as gay or straight, American or Chinese, nurse or farmer and just be individuals of one group - the human race. Our biggest threat isn't 10 people a couple valleys over. Its the planet dying because we're worried more about the 20 people we know than the species surviving. We need to start treating everyone as part of that 20 and end all -isms like racism or nationalism because we are all the same - scared souls looking for a fair break.

Before cell phones, if you called someone and they didn't answer, you could say, "he didn't answer, he must not be home," and that was a normal thing to say.
Nowadays, I wish you could say, "he didn't answer, he must be away from his phone," and it would be just as normal. Instead, people seem to think it's strange if you don't answer your phone for whatever reason (let alone turn it off), or don't respond to a text immediately.

This has likely been said already, but I will say it again - acceptance towards the LGBTQ+ community!

Ima get downvoted probably but whatever. I’d change the racism and all that stuff. Like the gendered language? What is that? Can’t we al just accept we’re human and Al be in the same category? Doesn’t matter if ur a man or a woman. Like Morgan freeman said “ I’ll top calling you a white man, and you so calling me, a black man.” He’s intelligent cause it’s true. He said the way to stop racism is to stop talking about it. We got Disney channel over there turning Pride Family into a literal trash heap because they are inserting stuff about slaves building America. A black woman reviewed the clip and basically said it was repulsive. The clip is horrible. But does anyone get my point? I went a bit off topic..

How vehemently and aggressively people will be when arguing for their opinions.
Also, shaming people for doing harmless stuff. Neopronouns, furries, role-playing, whatever (yes I recognize some of these are very different). It doesn’t harm anyone and it makes you happy. Just let them do it. Respect them. It’s really not that hard.

The hunting and killing of animals. (There are a few exceptions: Deer. Where I live, the amount deer are actually harming the ecosystem. I’m sure there are a few others that actually harm the ecosystem, but I don’t know of any others)
Dog, cat (or any other animal) “factories” I’m not going to type out anything else- or this post would be longer than the wait at Chick-fil-A on Saturday.
The amount of food, and water people waste.
SINGLE USE PLASTIC (Plastic water bottles should only be used in emergency situations. Natural disaster hit area etc)
Body expectations. They are a total load of BS. I want you to know that every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top.
Big sad company’s that destroy nature, and basically, happiness.
Industrial everything, just get rid of it.
The scammers who… scam. ESPECIALLY the ones who scam old people; people who scam them should be shot into the sun.
I will probably think of a lot more, but this is all I have for now.

The economy. Not the one we have, but I'd like us to find the one that works the best for everyone. No idea what that would be.

The "system" that was originally implemented to help needy people has unfortunately been turned into "...the more kids I have the more benefits I get" by some thus creating a perpetual cycle of children living in poverty and abuse.
The real problem is that you can't just cut-off benefits to these abusers/baby-factories since the kids will be the ones to suffer and these people know it and use it to their advantage.
And to those of you thinking I'm making this all up: get bent. It's a huge problem, I've seen it firsthand, and it it applies to all races.

We have training, licensing and testing for ever skilled job out there, especially if it affects other people or society as a whole, but anyone can have a child.
In many areas of the world there people who are forced, coerced, guilted or shamed into having children they don’t want or can’t cope with.
If we want to lower crime rates, improve society’s mental health crises, and stop the cycles of both poverty and abuse in the world, we need to do a better job at screening, training, and supporting parents and allowing people who shouldn’t be parents to choose not to be with no stigma, pressure or shame.

Gen Z's way to think the world revolves around them. I am Gen z btw. Like- this culture makes everything about you you you. YOU do YOU. Treat YOUrelf. Take some YOU time, ect ect. Sure all of that is important now and then- but we have taken it way too far. People(of all ages, races, backrounds) are so entitled now. People take extreme offence in the most normal, inoffensive things just because they can- and the will get praised for it!
Like, take the song Scars to your beautiful by Alessia Cara- it's a good, pretty song for the most part. But the one line- "And you don't have to change a thing, the world can change it's heart-". I mean, not really! The world doesn't have to change just to fit you! Not in every case of course- but a lot of the time, YOU are the problem! Believe it or not, there are a LOT of problems out there, that are much much bigger than you.

Disciplining your kids.
Honestly I was in the cinemas with my mom 2 days back. We haven't been in a long time. So as the the big screen was opening up, I could hear the kids shouting and running around. And as the movie was playing, I could hear peppa pig being played on a phone. The parents didnt say anything.
I'm also fuming as I'm writing this. I should've had a talk with those kids and tell to not misbehave and have a word with the parents about them not disciplining their children.
Younger kids should have more discipline so that in the future, they'll know how to behave and not push people buttons.

For instance Stonehenge in Somerset UK.
It's been a site of so much human interest. People pay to access like a tourist attraction because it's unknown. It has a mystical quality that links back to the ancients because it still stands from BC. And it stands on a particular spot where the sun shines meaningfully on those rocks at a time of day and year.
To me, it looks like a basic ancient courtroom. Big door for the big tribe and smaller doors for the other tribes. Tribal leaders came to conclusions in full view of their village populations within the circle. And passed judgement.
And in accordance with ancient understanding of the Gods and of the stars. That place held the sun. It's pagan law.
I love history - the above survives today just as much as it did then.

How people of all ages are educated and what they are taught. The training and pay of teachers reflects the importance of their role. 1. People should be taught in small groups, no larger than 15. Student age not a factor. 2. Students' progress assessed by competency benchmarks. Student age not a factor but failure to show competency may mean no further participation on that content until competency demonstrated. 3. At all ages, students' abilities, wishes, needs considered as part of planning progress. Changes can always be made. 4. Student may leave temporarily or permanently when it is clear no further progress is happening, but all retain right to reenter with counselling. 5. Completion of stages marked by significant acknowledgement by community. cf "rites of passage" 6. Focus on literacy and numeracy plus critical thinking in early years 7. In teens: focus on civics, life skills (finance, cooking, hygiene, repairs, for instance) and a broadening participation in community/society. More academic content introduced. 8. Post teens: specialised courses depending on chosen life path.

For me, the worst thing is Abby making the NINE YEAR OLDS dressing like prostitots and having them gyirate (did I spell that right?) on stage. Would be fine for 16, 17, MAYBE even 15yos but NINE! 9? NINE? THE NINETH NUMBER? Abby LOVES to put Nia (dancer) in sterotypical ethnic roles. The LaQuifa dance? What? Abby really be playing matchmaker with 13yos. It's like Dirty Dancing.

Debt relief. It shouldn’t exist and I have a very good explanation.
Now keep in mind that I’m only 17 and not the best with finances but I’ve been taught some of the basics.
We shouldn’t have a student loan debt relief because some people made sh*tty financial decisions before going to college and not saving up enough for your tuition. This stupid student loan debt relief hurts the ones who made the smart financial decisions and aren’t in debt and it’s bullsh*t that some lawmakers want to raise taxes just to relieve people of their debts and that we are the ones paying out of pocket just for the person who ends up in student loan debts financial failure

As an American and an Amerinidan, I'd like to see our derelict education and social services systems get their long-overdue overhauls. When I went to school on the "Rez" we were given a classical education that included home economics, shop classes, logic and critical thinking, creative arts, sports, field trips to various industrial operations to learn how these works and what products or services they provided. High school was when we used what we learned on our field trips to start hands-on apprinceship training in something we discovered we might like. We didn't just belong to our parents. Us kids belonged to our community too. If your parents were fails, you had plenty of "aunts" and "uncles" who would help support and nurture you. If my country could adopt just one practice from my people, this one would be it.
