Many people feel profound about some social issue (or concerns) but are unsure what they can do to help. It’s difficult for many of us to know how we can help. It’s all too simple to grow disillusioned and pessimistic.

The world’s governing institutions and structures appear to be broken. There’s a war going on, and there’s a lot of poverty. Discrimination, inequality, and violence are all present. The issues are significant. They’re complicated. It’s easy to become overwhelmed.

The good news is that everyone can make a difference if they try hard enough. Sure, the issues are complicated, but the solutions must be the simple motive in effecting change. Hope you and others will be inspired by the thoughts offered here.

1. Ensure full equality between men and women.

According to studies in Valerie Hudson’s Sex and World Peace, the wider a country’s gender difference, the more likely it is to be embroiled in violent conflict (2012). Gender disparity outperforms GDP, democracy, and ethnic-religious identification as the most powerful motivator for both external and internal conflict, as well as being the first to use force in such confrontations. Women’s participation in peace processes, on the other hand, increases the likelihood of lasting peace.

2. Fair distribution of wealth

According to a poll conducted by the World Bank, 40% of those who join rebel groups do so due to a lack of economic prospects. Absolute poverty is just as essential to be looked upon, with more egalitarian societies characterised by high cooperation and low violence.

When it comes to public resources, taxation, and tax evasion, economic fairness is also crucial. The systematic movement of wealth from the rich to the poor, rather than the other way around, increases everyone’s security.

3. Defend the political realm

Governments must tolerate public criticism if they want young, disenfranchised individuals to embrace an open society instead of taking more violent and vindictive ways. This area must be protected from repressive weapons like ad hoc administrative regulation, misuse of anti-terrorist measures, arbitrary arrest and incarceration, torture, and murder all across the world – and across the political spectrum.

Starting with yourself, you can bring about peace. Ordinary people have the power to change the world. How long has it been since you’ve apologised? Consider who will lose if you are victorious. Are the people in your life heard and appreciated, or are they disregarded and excluded?

Make a conscious decision to be concerned about their well-being. Begin a productive dialogue with someone with whom you disagree. In both yourself and others, challenge “them-and-us” thinking. Each of us has the power to make society more just and peaceful, or more unjust and violent.
