Yes.  We've given up a *lot* of war.  And we're even starting to
require international consensus to wage it.  Even when we, the
remaining superpower, are involved.

Slavery is another one we've made great progress in giving up.

We're also improving our record on ecological stability fairly
quickly. 

Not to say we've *arrived* on these or any other issues, mind you!
