There is no question that our world is in a sad state right now, we are not progressing, we are falling behind. Nations are getting more divisive and hateful towards each other, politicians are nothing but a corrupt clown show, countless people suffer, the gravest injustice's happen everyday, and its all getting worst and worst. Our species need something big to happen in order to create change.I think what would do it would be contact with an alien species.
Why you ask? Because right now, we think we are the king fish in the pond. We are broken up in countries that only deal with each other. To contact an alien, we would be shocked into realizing that we are not the king fish in the pond and we would be shocked into realizing just how small and insignificant we really are. It would be no more just dealing with countries on a planet, it would be planet's dealing with other planet's that are a lot more advanced than we are.
We would eventually stop looking at each other as either American, Iranian, German, and we would look at each other just as human. It would force us to bond together as a planet in a way we never have before.

It would sure change the face, and process, and progress of todays world, I could handle that.
You have a good one, Thanks Track,
I don't think blaming society is the right way. Everyone has to take responsibility within their families, communities etc. to bring up children with social values and respect each other.
That simply doesn't work, I met a lot of dysfunctional people in the last number of years and growing up in a dysfunctional family was the reason for most.
I think starting with yourself and your family is the basis for a change.
Unfortunately, its just not happening right now in our society :(
People seem to be getting angrier and more negative overall and that affects everything. A good kick in our complacency would do humanity some good and if nothing else, make us look at ourselves for what we really are.
It mostly seems that the evil is stronger than the good. But, in the end the good always triumphs over the evil.
Every single person can do a great step towards the good things happening, it can start with just sharing some kind words with ones neighbor.
