Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Choose one of the major topics: violence or money.
Then consider that both of these topics are really part of one larger topic: People using their power for evil as opposed to good.
For violence: Some people are bigger and stronger than others. Violence happens when one person who is big and strong decides that instead of looking out for people who are less strong, he will take advantage of his strength. People are violent towards people who cannot defend themselves (men raping women and children who are smaller than them, soldiers attacking and raping defenseless civilians, bigger kids bullying smaller kids).
For money: Poverty happens because rich people want to get richer instead of sharing their wealth. People with money do not choose to share their wealth with those who are struggling. This leads to poverty, a lack of services for those in need and a world where most people are starving and a few people have far more than what they need.
What we can do to change this is try use our advantages to help others instead of letting greed get the best of us.
Also, if everyone spent more time cooking and takinging bubble baths, the world would be a better place.
From moi to you,

Wow, great question. You have a great teacher in posing this question for there are many, many things wrong in this world that if a way is found to fix any one them; would make the world a better place.
You can start with Man's inhumanity to man. Under this heading there are a whole host of sub headings to choose from starting with racial bias to Terrorism and the reason for them. Poverty, illiteracy, World Hunger and the list goes on.
Pick up today's newspaper and I assure you before you reach the back page you will find many different topics from which to chose. Pick a topic that is meaningful to you that you can get involved in, for this purpose, mentally if not actively after you finish writing about this.
I know you don't have a long time to think about this project as school is probably ending soon. Though this is really something you need to put some thought into before jumping ahead with. If my son where assigned this project I believe we would sit down one night with his mom and discuss this with him. Hopefully by the time we are finished with our discussions we will have found a topic he can be excited about and one that we can both help with and monitor his progress with.
By the way what I just mentioned is one way of making the world a better place by having children involve parents in doing something to make the world a better place. Today better than 90% of us put on a seatbelt when we get in a car. It was not always this way.
As recently a 3 decades ago the percentage of seat belt users was almost not countable. Then the schools started to educate the children and the children started to educate their parents. In less than one generation the percentage of seat belt users climbed dramatically. The lives saved because of this is also dramatic in numbers. As A firefighter I can tell you it is a rare instance that we arrive on scene of an accident with a fatality and seat belts are in use.
I given you some ideas of what to look at as to where to find a topic. I do suggest you take some time to really think about this subject. At dinner tonight talk with mom and dad, get their thoughts on the subject. Then chose your topic, do your research and write your paper.

Think about what is particularly important to you based on your values and experiences. Poverty, health care? Think about something you would like to fix. Did you mom and dad have trouble raising you because of lack of income? How can you take their experience and do something to make it easier for others in that same situation. Is it difficult for you to get to school everyday? Think about those that have the same problem in a higher magnitude. How can you help them? Did you know someone who suffered from a disease that could have been prevented? What could you do to make it so others won't be in that same position. If you use this technique then not only will your project be more personal, but it will be more interesting to do.
Good luck!
