You call this a society?

I've been thinking (but not very deeply) about what is wrong and right about our society. Here's a bit of my thoughts:
Humans are social. Thus, we need social structures. The idea of government came from a basic tribal principle that by working together, we could do more than any one individual. Education became a way to train people to meet societies needs. We gained all kinds of new technologies. Now, we have forgotten that primary infrastructure. College now is so expensive that only the successful can pay for it.
We need a major paradigm shift.
