How to create a better society

As an off-shoot of the N-word thread, what are some TANGIBLE ways to create a better society. Not perfect but better. What do you think the biggest issues are?
But also balanced as best we can? Everyone will not be happy but what are some good compromises?

Have everyone perform qualitatively-equal jobs; rotate people between jobs when that isn't possible; compensate for lower quality jobs; pay according to effort (not performance, inheritance, or capital); decisions should be made by those who are affected by them; include in the pricing of goods the social costs of producing them;...

Decent and accessible education is an important step, I think. People with no access to a proper education usually start with a deficit compared to others. But children should be taught more than just what they need to get a job. Teach them a healthy dose of responsibility and you're building a good base for the future IMO.

Promote democracy and society will self-improve.

That's funny, I was just about to recommend re-instituting monarchy.
