In my opinion the world is not as messed up as you think, yes some places and countries do inhumane things, but it is mostly a case of the blind following the blind. You mentioned China, well it may be hard to grasp this concept, but in China they view there leaders as Gods and they blindly do what is asked of them. Unfortunately these leaders have been stuck in the past for centuries, they focus on gaining power and wealth and have no care for anyone or anything that gets in their way. I believe that people know what is right somewhere inside themselves, they just need guidance from someone who is not blind to find it.
