What would I change if I could change the world?

Maybe I would change the fact that my uncle can't marry the man he loves. Or maybe I would change the way men look at women like an object and not a human being. Maybe I would change the minds of all the ignorant so everyone can live in equality and happiness. Maybe I would change all the "needs" and "reasons" for war, so we could all live together in harmony. Maybe I would change the ignorance on all the different and beautiful cultures this country and even the world have to offer people. Maybe I would change the fact that while some people choose to have 50 cars just because they can, others die each and every day because they don't have the sustenance to live.

Sure I could say I want to change the little, material things that could make my life a whole lot easier, but that's not what I would change. And it shouldn't be what you want to change either.
