No, I only mentioned the ones that seem terrible because those are the ones you would be most inclined to change.

The most terrible ones could also be the most difficult ones to change.

Because if they're so terrible, the hidden reason to keep them in place must be specially strong. Or they could be extremely difficult to change because of some shadowy societal forces that lead to unintended consequences.

Ah, well I think the answer would be to investigate whether something that seems terrible, is in fact actually terrible or not, and then act on that rather than a superficial impression.
