text: what would you say is societies biggest problem and how could you solve it or try to decrease the problem? it doesn't have to be solved but what would you as a person (citizen) due to try to solve it or decreas the problem. selfishness. everyone seems to want things fixed or changed but expects others to do it for them, or wonders why there is even a problem to begin with, not thinking or realizing they are part of the problem. it takes effort, caring, time, and selfless acts to change things. just think what it took to change the british taxes ( the boston tea party) now that took a lot of self-deprivation and effort by a lot of people. i don't see that same thing in people today. it would take another revolution to change things.
