There is no substitute for education.  The contribution of education to build a healthy society is undeniable.  So we all should give more emphasis on education.  Moreover, creativity can change society.  The more creative people can be, the better the society will be.  Everyone should think creatively and introduce creativity to the world.  Education and practical creativity can make a society better and better.  When higher education and creativity work together, society will develop more quickly and be better suited to keep pace with the world.

We can better our society by promoting education, inclusivity, sustainability, empathy & social justice. By providing access to quality education, creating an inclusive environment, encouraging sustainable practices, showing empathy and kindness towards others & pushing social justice we can work towards a more equitable & compassionate society. Community engagement, mental health support, ethical leadership, conflict resolution & responsible consumption play crucial roles in improving our society. By prioritising these areas we can create positive change & strive for a better future for all of us.

Obeying the rules and regulations that governed the society can make you better your society that will make upcoming children in the society will like to follow your steps in the society to be a type of people will bear a good name that will make the society to live to remember them forever.

Forcing our children to go to school to learn how to read and write, so that they will become a better people that will bring progress to the society and also make others people to believe that education is the key to success.

I like how you phrased it, "let love lead". The concept of love as the cornerstone for an improved community is extremely compelling. It's great to see how knowledge and variety can foster love and compassion. One of the most fascinating aspects of our modern environment is the range of methods in which we may learn new things, even as adults. Online courses, podcasts, and films are all effective instruments for lifelong learning. In fact, it is projected that the typical individual learns more in their first a total of five years of retiring than they did throughout their preceding 30 years of employment! It is equally crucial to have a diverse range of thoughts and views expressed in all parts of society.

We can better our society by standing up for the truth and education our people on the need for them to be peaceful, avoidance of social vises in other to attract development, it is very important for us as individuals to play a remarkable role in our little way in ensuring that our society become a better place free of violent.

I have a principal that I always share, especially when we are discoursing on how to became better in our society or how the society at large can became better. I will always say ' be the change that you want'. I always say this because I believe that we should practice what we say or believe.

I agree that education is a very important tool to achieving this. Because if people are educated they can have a better understanding on how to contribute positively to the society. Most religions teach about morals, so yes, religion too in my own opinion is also a positive way to better the society.

Finally, demanding from our leaders to be accountable for their actions in office is another way to better the society.

Charity they say begins at home, for we as individuals to make our society a better place we have to leave an examplary life by making people around us feel a sense of belonging, impacting the life of people positively making them to believe that there are rewards attached to good work, also seeing every one equal no matter the class we feel the belong to, finding a good techniques in resolving conflict in the society if their is any, in summary all this and somany not mentioned here has to be applied in other to get it right.

Yeah in short be a good example for everyone, especially for the young generations for them to adapt a good quality of a citizens. Those you've mentioned is actually a good examples for being a responsible and good member of a country. We all know that some people couldn't even follow those simple rules due to their own reasons. If that's the case I would recommend to educate kids show them the reality of scum in the society. There's also one thing you didn't mentioned which is don't be blind in injustice for your own comfortability. Fight for your rights and eliminate scums.

being a responsible citizen. being a good citizen is one of the ways we can better our society.
being a good citizen means obeying rules and regulations in the society,maintaining Government facilities,payment of taxes regularly. this will enable Government to build more social amenities for the people.
being a good citizen is to be involved in Governance by participating in election either by voting or to be voted for.
being a good citizen have many advantage to the society, and brings a good name to the individual itself.

It's good to be educated because it's what gives us direction in knowing how to approach things as their beed arises more appropriately, education is all about being civilized, being exposed and experienced in theoretical knowledge, education help development and also encourages togetherness within a society because people were been taught the proper way of living in peace together and how to lead the people in the society, it also gives access for every individuals to know ther rights and go for it, build the community and uses their roles to influence other people's life in the society.


You're right, education brings about self discovery, you get to know your potentials while discovering so many aspects of yourself you aren't aware of, it also help you understand the ways of life and discover many other potentials ended in nature and around the world we lived in, being educated have no disadvantages but not being educated comes with it's consequences which may not be to our own good.

Maybe try the BTC Blockchain Diesel fuel saver and have some cleaner air to breathe. Also saving some money might make you a little nicer to be around.

So by the time the better when a good leader got into power and when the village leader also know their function so Society is being controlled by government and in the government does not have the people living in the society as I have that means the community will be under bondage or the society will be under suffering because of government lack of social amenities to dispense into the local villages

Is just common understanding and working relationship, taking everything as a temporary things, working together to build a peaceful society. Seeing each other  and everything in our society as a core responsibility for all. Then I'm sure we gonna have a successful society

We can all make society better by individual collective role and responsibilities. Everyone has a role to play towards the betterment, me and you are reponsible to make it better place for all. It is collective effort of everyone with expected role and responsibilities in an appropriate way, time and manner.

Other ways are functionalist perspective where all the social structures are in function and discharge their various roles and responsibilities e.g like the religion, political, Media, police, prison, economy e.t.c  are so reliable there will be better society.

We as as humans are here again to have some quality among each others like love, unity, patience, tolerance, oneness, kindness, common goal etc, because where there is peace, there is rest of mind, where no rest of mind there is no peace, where there is no peace, there is war, where is war there is no progress and development.

Depending whom you ask, they may tell you that you are wrong or right.
Because it is debatible who is supposed to take care of the necessities of those less fortunate in our society. Are they supposed to live thanks to the duty of the state or the charity and will of the communities they inhabit. ?

It is one of the eternal arguments between the socialist approach and the capitalist approach towards poverty and other social problems.  

This may not be applicable abroad, they have a very good sound governance. It's only Africa that pays politicians hugely and fails to invest in Knowledge. I don't think the American's would value politician than putting their country in order, we the Africans most especially Nigerians pays politicians heavily than investing our future. Education is major key roles in every single country and whenever a country fails to invest in education then that country have failed woefully because it has no future any longer.

We can better our society by taking responsibility of most things in our society and also promoting good education to the less privileged if you are capable of doing any beneficial thing in the society it should be done...we do not need the Government to take care of our neighbors,we should be active in our communities in whatever way we can.. whether through financial assistance or time commitment..

Your idea is sound. Don't advise all neighbors of the neighborhood to get guns. But, do what I said.

1. Form a NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH. These are people of the neighborhood getting together to protect each other. If some neighborhood jokers don't want to be part of the NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH, expel them from the meeting. Then, after you have an understanding with your GOOD neighbors, and they become part of the Neighborhood watch according to good rules, then...

2. Get the guns, and get some shooting practice in. Protect each other. If you have bad guys in the neighborhood, those who don't want to be part of the NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH, they already have guns and you need to protect yourselves from them.

I will not advice all the neighbors of the neighborhood to have a gun, not every one is psychologically stable to own a gun, there are too many shoot outs these days to increase the number of guns in the street.

Best ways to better society... in this order:
1. Form a neighborhood watch;
2. Get all the neighbors of the neighborhood watch to buy guns, and help them to become proficient in using their guns... lots of target practice;
3. Shut down government.

Few ways we can better our society is by being sincere to each other loving and supporting one another and also trust is a number one priority for a safe society and concerning issues like insecurity if there is trust among the citizens information will be provided to security agencies against robbery and kidnapping around the neighborhood, education is also a key to a successful and peaceful society

Living at peace to enjoy settlement within the members of the society is our individual responsibility that we must carry to ensure things were dine in an orderly manners that promote the grouwth and development of the community, when everyone does the right thing, peace will because because love coexist among the people under the same settlement, everyone takes the affairs of each other as if it were theirs, this will make things been done in an orderly manner and the society will be conducive for a living.

The first step is to trace how the society came about, because we can't get it right. If we don't the history of the society. The society came from the family to community then form the society. So if we must get it right,we must go back to the family level to correct it, if we can get it right at the family level,then the community will change for good, then, the society Will be better for us to Live. Often times we forgot that the family and community are the major components of the society that needed more concern. E.g if a child can't be control by his parents,who in the community would that child respect or obey? Nobody. Then he will such disrespectful act to school to influence his peers.

The society can only get better, when we all do what's right when no one is there to monitor us.  The problem we have is that, we preach what we can't practice or don't practice. We must match our words with action for betterment.

You are right OP. I had the same mindset when I was a kid until I realized that we live in a different world where greed, power, religion, race, and politics are keeping us apart from becoming an ideal world.

As long as we all have different opinions being united will be a struggle. This is why we implement laws, rules and regulations in order for us to reach certain understanding so that different opinions may not lead to bigger events that could cause human extinction. I agree that we are part of a bigger picture and each one of us contributes the certain aspects, it is also true that it took us thousands of years to reach understanding we currently live today, but as far as I'm concern and what I can notice, people don't really care about other people if that person doesn't greatly brings benefit to them, like what you've said during the pandemic, we surely noticed that person's attitude varies differently, while there are people wanting to save their own skin, there're also who became the pillar to help someone in need. What I greatly realized during those times is that, the kindness of people would only show up once there is big event that involves survival and humanity, coz admit it or not, during those times that was the only time humanity showed what real humanity means.

As we all know education is very important in our society not only to help improve their minds but also the idea of giving them enough experience if they we're going out in the society which you will encounter different kinds of race and their ethnicities.

For me we can't let the children choose of what they really want since as what you have said they're still young people which their minds is still confused of what is happening in the real world, education is there to help and teaches them improve, develop and enhance their own capabilities.

Society is the larger unit while individuals is the contributing units to the larger unit. The societal overall standard is determined by the behaviour, acceptability and responsibilities of the individuals that makes up the society. Where everyone cannot be good and everyone cannot also be good.
But for a better society, the number of good should exceed the number of bad and this can be achieved by adoption of cogent and coherent laws that are maintainable and also flexible

The society that suffers humiliation, failure and negative impacts are the societies that are heterogeneous.
Due to some colonial manipulations some societies are made up of different tribes and different religions and regions forcefully merged together to live.
This obviously has never ended well because it might be managed at the initial time. But as the time proceeds you would discover that it is a time bomb waiting to explode
For there to be a good Society, they should share the same ways, norms and beliefs to atleast an appreciable percentage.

The society is made of everyone of us and our environment. As part of the society we must make sure that we keep our society safe for everyone than not caring about other and there impact to improve the lives of others and the environ.

The society is becoming worse by the day and if we don't keep to rules and guard the everything for betterment then we might be doing the wrong thing because if things go wrong then, we all going to face it back to back like how people suffered during the covid-19 period.

This is a great concept of education that I think will help the society to be better. Once this is happening kids will have excitement and joy on going to school since the subject they are taking are what they want to learn and interested. Honestly speaking since I already finished college and know what the kids will going through in their education journey, I can say its really hard to learn things we are not interested. Its like we are just doing for the compliance purpose and not to learn. Education is very important yes that is given, but one thing also must not forget is to teach young student good ethics.

Its a sad truth because many country dont have freedom in different aspect. Government are like showing that you can speak what you want to say but after they hearing your side and they know that its against them, its where violence starts. Days will pass and you will shock on the news that the person who spoken what he feel that is wrong against politicians was murdered by unknown people. Hope this ends soon and I hope we truly reached the true freedom we all looking for.

Yes, I agree that every macro effect that you want to see which in this case on the society should always start on micro efforts by making ourselves be the good example to everyone through being a better one. We as a citizen have the responsibility on our society and if we want it to be a progressive one, we should always strive to do the common good while making yourself a better version. Even the tiny effort would be a great way to be better, just don't stop striving. Having hope that those things would have great impact wont hurt anyone even though everyone thinks it wont have any impact.

Yes education is very important but to take it a step further, targeted education rather
than the one fits all system most young people go through.

For example most young people learn all the same subjects together at the same time.

It would be far better if kids were taught subjects which a.) they are interested in and b.)
they are capable of.

If we look it from the few of scholars, their outlined so many rigorous method of giving the society a better life. But to me as an international relation scholar , i am convinced that the society can only get back from our homes. we must start practicing what we preach at our homes first. The home is an import component of the larger society. if we can get it Right at home then the society would be better off.

I don't understand this response based on the topic we are discussing where I know very well that people have love for money people have love for material things and the people have love for whatever thing that attracts beauty but in this aspect, we are considering the aspect that we can make money, so we are talking off the aspect we can better our nation not concerning the love of money or love of anything

love of material money = bad

love of value = good

A lot of society value those with material money, so it seems like a balance.

Our society will be a better place if we can be honest and limit the love which we have for money. I see that these days money can make a brother kill his brother,and a friend kill his friend which is the worst damage that can happen to any society. The politicians and citizens are corrupt because they are not satisfied with what they have. Leaders loot public funds because they are scared that they might die wretched after their tenure of leadership is over.

The love of money is the root of all evil,the devil will deceive you with those luxurious stuffs which who have been willing for,with this you can easy fall into his trap. The fear of the unknown is what we are having as a big problem down here in my country.

One of the ways to better our society is promoting liberty.
Liberty of association;
Freedom of speech;
Freedom of worship without intimidation by one group;
Security of lives and properties;
Sincerity of government, etc.
Where I come from, there is Freedom before speech, but no Freedom is guaranteed after speech.
There's Freedom of religion and yet you could be murdered because you are a Christian and nothing will happen.

The aspiration to establish a more equitable world for all has been a fundamental desire of the natural world. However, the presence of human beings, each with unique perspectives and mindsets, makes achieving such a world incredibly challenging, if not impossible.

I firmly believe that in order to cultivate a society that benefits everyone, it is crucial to uphold the principles of our laws, demonstrate respect for diverse opinions, and acknowledge the right of others to live according to their desires.

Education is useless when we have these celebrities all around the internet today doing things that aren't good and they are also influencing the children about their behaviors. Just a few days ago, I saw a video where a little boy cried because he can't find a partner, Imagine this is how social media affect our kids and they only act like this because their parent just let them see everything on the internet and don't really care to advise them, they let the YouTubers inject perceptions in their kid's mind and no matter how educated the kids are, if they always see such kinds of the environment at their home, they are more likely become like that and we never fix the problem of our society today we just making it worse.

You are absolutely right Education is 100% the bedrock for modern civilization and the foundation for every level of accomplishment in life., education creates a wide margin between the have and the have not.

-If you see an uneducated fellow, you will notice the way and manner in which they do things are far different from how an educated fellow will handle the same situation,  and also just as you have mentioned,  education is the key to opening every door of adventures.

One of the the major thing is to love one another, because where their is no love Thier is no peace, and our society can not be better when there is no peace, and that is way there is law to govern us  by restricting us from harming or let's use the word damage our society,  because without law I don't think there is ever going to be a better society, and here is comes to the political leaders we elect into power, they have a bigger role to play in making out society better. But most of out leader are just selfish instead of working towards the betterment of the society they are busy working towards the better of there bank account and their families. So in making our society a better place I think it all comes from the kind of leaders we elect into power.

And applying those to yourself first is also a contribution to a better society. Because everyone that does all of it should apply it first to themselves because we're seeing people that have been too vocal about changes for the betterment but later on, we're seeing that they're the ones that are not following their advice. They're good leaders based on how they talk but they're not good followers because they're also the ones that violate what's being taught. And when you think that you're spotless then that's the time to stand on your own by contributing in helping others.

Making my own bed means that I really have to protest the Ukraine war, so that it stops, so that nobody else is killed there.

Making my own bed includes fighting to get the Jan6 detainees out of jail, because they haven't gone to trial, and many of them are innocent.

Making my own bed includes spreading the Gospel of God as far and wide as I can, so that I can help in keeping some from going to Hell for eternity.

There are many ways we can better our society from the views of so many people. As per my view not only our leaders are responsible for the better society, Any good society depends on the lifestyle of that society.
What constitute a society is coming together of many families including fathers, mothers and children, now if every parents can say "change begins with me" and it is effective than leaders of the society can have a say. Parents have a lot of roles to play in times of a better society, that is upbringing of their children.
After all this have been taking care of then the next is education comes second, it is important for a parent to take their children to school so that they can know the advantage of been educated.

Trying to make the society a better place starts with making your own bed every morning when you wake up, that is to say that making the world a better place starts from you. Making your bed means having a sense of responsibility, which is an important character that makes one a good member of society. If you have a sense of responsibility, you will not litter your environment, you will keep public and government property in good condition whenever you use it and you will obey government rules.

For our society to be better, we need to be sincere with ourself, how sincere are we in our daily activities, are we those kind of people that complain about the government but we are even worse if given the opportunity, when we as individuals in a state can do the right thing even when no one is watching, that's is when our society will be more prosperous than ever

Everyone of us constitute what a society us today, we must understand that we are all interdependence on each other directly or indirectly, the society is a place where the people lived together and share things like ideas, food, money and relationship in common, the peace inna society lies in the way we handles each others need in the society, that is also why we have some community heas that guide the evenly conduct of human affairs in the society for coordinate purpose.

I don't dispute anything you have said, education and equality are very important to build a just and egalitarian society. But the problem we have is politicians. They have failed to invest in quality education in my country because their children school abroad. Politicians prefer to loot funds for their future generations instead of investing in the future of the nation. The same politicians promote tribalism and racism because they want to divide the people. A divided people can be easily manipulated and controlled.
Until we embrace critical thinking and stop judging people by their physical appearance the world will not be a better place. It is possible to reduce inequality and poverty if the world's top economy nations are committed to them.

Society is  the basis upon which human civilization is created. It is our collective ideas that shape our lives, governs our behaviour and provide us with a sense of belongings. As such, it's important we take steps to better our society, let's create a world that is fairer, more equitable for everyone.

One of the key ways in which we can better society is by promoting education. Education is the foundation upon which every great society is built. It empowers individuals, brings up creativity and innovation and cultivates critical thinking skills. For example, it's the innovative and creative idea of Satoshi Nakamoto that we enjoy bitcoin today. Let the government invest in education from the earliest years of life through adulthood by providing opportunities for lifelong learning.

Another way in which we can better society is by promoting diversity and inclusion. Society is stronger when it embraces diversity and recognizes the unique contributions of all individuals. We must work to eliminate discrimination and promote equal opportunities for all. This means creating workplaces, schools, and communities that are welcoming to people of all backgrounds and cultures. By embracing diversity and inclusion, we can create a more vibrant and harmonious society.
Let love lead at all time! Peace!
