To me, this means reducing human suffering and ignorance.
What I'm interested in are practical ways to make a dramatic positive difference - to rephrase my question, what would one do if they dedicated their life to making the world better?
How can I make the world a better place?

If u want to make the world better, improve your talents and use it to help the world.... Oh, this talk. Now, you can make world better by little bit things and believe me it sure will work: 1- smiling to people 2- giving advice when needed 3- pick the rubbish 4-doing your homework and be hardworking 5-offer help..... And so on...
What a nice question to ask, it shows you are a very caring person. When I was young I also wanted to help people, I still do, but I needed a good role model. I found one. It was someone who's words I can count on.
This is his advise: (John 17:3) "This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ."
There is a website I know you will find interesting, www.jw.org
There are many like yourself who are benefiting from this site.
I hope this will be helpful to you.
Making the "world" a better place is a task bigger than yourself. The bible says "The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one." 1John 5:19. Some suggest you do charity work etc. That is good it will help you feel you are doing your best to contribute to society. Your question was how can you make the world a better place? I asked myself that question once. Then I asked myself what would make the world a better place to live? My conclusion was unity for people of all nations. This would mean having in place a world government that is fair and righteous. I knew that mankind is not capable of doing this. The only one who can is the one who created the world and humans. He has revealed is purpose for mankind through his word the bible. I am one of over eight million people teaching the good news about God's kingdom or (government) that will eliminate, wickedness sickness, death. I am making the world a better place conducting bible studies, helping people to have hope of a better future. Revelation 21:3,4
