I am of the opinion that we can't have the changes necessary to improve society until an earth-wide catastrophe takes place. The pre-existing framework we're talking about has divided people along pretty trivial lines that we as individuals refuse to overcome for whatever reason. Trying to impose the changes that'd approach benefiting more rather than the few gets you baby steps in certain areas of the larger construct. Even history shows that positive change has a habit of being preceded by a "physical" event (war, protests, natural disasters, etc.) It seems that humanity, as a majority, is still unwilling to accept each other as equals.
