    1. Also, while some of the goals are pretty specific — end hunger — others are a lot vaguer — promote peaceful and tolerant societies.

      What can be done to promote a peaceful and tolerant society, for starters we need to look at the bigger picture like what is happening right in front of us everyday (the pandemic, the killings daily, people are angry because nothing is being done. They are putting a band-aide on everything and saying it's getting better when it's not. Something that would be positive would be assisting people coming home from prison to get jobs without judgement this would help the recidivism rate. One thing I will say is that somethings people are becoming tolerant of are just insane to me for example trying to normalize pedophiles and consider it a mental health disorder!! I'm sorry but I can guarantee any sane person and parents won't be tolerant or peaceful about something so depraved and disgusting.

    2. Our choices matter: if we prioritize the well-being of people, then we can make a lot more progress

      If the country did more for the people who need help rather then only helping those who are already financially stable. When the cost of living goes up so should the pay for "normal" people who live paycheck to paycheck or even living off of only tips. This will help people stop struggling and will help their well being.

    1. Listen attentively and intently (with intention to understand) first, and forming an opinion after you fully understand their point of view

      I feel like there would be fewer arguments and less miscommunication between people if this was followed. Sadly, the majority of us are guilty of not fully listening to the person speaking, but being too concerned with what we are thinking our response is going to be toward the small portion we actually did hear during the first sentence or two being spoken. By doing this we lose sight of one another's point of view and opinions.
