Again this is very confusing. If you are not concerned about anything why are you trying to change anything. Someone who is not concerned does nothing.
I'm no huge activist, far from it but at least I can look at this world and be concerned. I don't let it affect my daily life but I acknowledge the messed up stuff I witness/read and engage in a conversation about it sure. Maybe that will increase awareness. Like when I mentioned 18,000 children die of hungry related causes a day. I bet that blew the minds of a lot of people reading it. I know when I first read that statistic I was shocked.

....the source is in dispute (Bill Gates did not say or write these words) by pretty much everyone.
