What is one thing that you would change...

What is one thing that you would change in our society that you think would have a major impact?
There are a couple of things that come to mind for me. The one that I will get less backlash for would be healthcare. If it was available to everyone, and was unable to produce a profit. I understand the idea of providing financial incentives for providing proper care, as so many countries with socialized medicine have, but to have people who chose to change the world of medicine to improve the health of all, and maybe for some fame, seems like it could result in fewer misdiagnoses and action being taken towards prevention.
Another that truly aggravates people when I mention it, is money. Yes, if it were non-existant. That would have a huge impact, probably fairly chaotic at first, but I believe it is attainable, eventually, possibly more so after a few generations have cycled through. "Get your hippie head out of the clouds..." Sure. Though, surely if people just entertained the idea, and imagined the interactions of humanity without a credit/debt system, without a monetary establishment, it would be viewed with a pure awe.
It could be something somewhat simple, is something complex that might even take years to accomplish. What is something that you would change, that would have a major impact? A positive impact is something we would all aspire for, but that is all in the eye of the beholder.
What comes to mind for you?

One thing I would change is for the world to eliminate any wars. If there were no war, people would enjoy more peaceful life without any loss of life. This is the more important a change to be changed. Should anything unpleasant happen, a peaceful talk is always encouraged. Thanks for the discussion. Take care.

With all the natural loss of life war does seem like a pointless addition. It is a pity that people are quick to violence and talking out differences is under-rated.

1. Eliminate corruption, especially from politics.
2. Remove superstitions that prevent people from thinking rationally.
There are a lot more, its just that these came to my mind first.

I think that just those two, would solve a majority of the problems in our society.
