Am I just supposed to sit there and watch as all sort of injustices are taking place everywhere? What can a person do to make this world slightly better?

Atheism. Most of the atrocities in the world are driven by religion. As the saying goes "good people will do good, bad people will do bad. When good people do bad, there's probably a religion involved"
Most of the atrocities in the world are driven by greed, popular religions do not advocate for greed or bad actions directly. Religions especially in the west become a tool for rulers and authorities to control people but there never was anything religious about tyrants and dictators to begin with if not the subjugation to their power.
Humanism then, maybe? The values we got from the Age of Enlightenment?
Have you ever read any religious texts? They advocate for some pretty horrendous stuff
I think another aspect is removing corporate interests in the area and general process of war.
first there's the arms companies that keep funneling weapons into the area. Selling the "insurance" for the fire that keeps coming through. A fire fuelled by what they sell.
Then there's the companies that come in and "rebuild" after the devastation. Amazing how their contracts have been part of the aid packages negotiated with Ukraine already.
Then there's the fossil fuel rights which make it worth superpowers picking sides and putting boots on the ground to "peace keep".
The whole thing is fuelled by megacorporations wanting their slice of the pie, and not caring about the human cost. All of them are so big that they basically set government policy in the west anyhow, and none of them give a shit about which god or prophet anyone follows.
Corpo-political influence is the stick, religion/tribalism is the carrot.
This.
