The society is divided into haves and haves not, poor people are getting more poorer and rich people are getting more richer, Value of money is decreasing and inflation is increasing, Many people around the globe suffer death mostly Africa and asia because hunger and unable to fulfill basic human needs.
What actions should governments need to take and how individuals can contribute?
The governments around the world have failed their people for a long time when it comes to the problem of reducing poverty and improving the conditions of life of people in general, any improvement that you see did not come from the governments but from people that wanted to improve society and took the right steps to do it, so I find the idea of letting that task to the governments a waste of time.
That's true. No one's gonna change your life for the better except yourself. On the other side we should also understand that our needs can inadequately increase at some point. So everyone have to find out his own reasonable limit of needs to avoid aggravation of economic and social inequality. But our human nature is too greedy and selfish to do good.
