There is a general issue of power and what humans think gives them power. There is always going to be a portion of the population the values power-over more than power-within. The weakness of dependency making others weak and maintaining their weakness...
I think we can make a difference if want to change things; but to hold out on mass structural change is a wish for disappointment, unless you have the courage and time and connections and resources to get things moving. One thing at a time, one person at a time - change can happen.
Definitely focus on yourself. Make yourself an example for the human race!

So I am at a loss. How can we possibly end this vicious cycle? Can we keep out those who would use any laws, any morals and any values we create in the name of good for their own personal gain, which is nothing but an instinctive drive to be the alpha male/female. Can we change change the very nature of a human being?

I think this is more of an issue of socialization than you might think. The more people you have in a society, the more variance you're going to have, the more you're going to face this. You cannot change the nature of the human being (whatever that is), but there are always steps you can take to limit those who would from abusing the system for gains at other's expenses. All is never lost, and it is a cycle... it gets worse then better. It takes vigilance.
