Default Do you think you can make a social change?

I was just wondering if you believe in changing the world...Can any of us, personally, make any social changes?

Of course. Any of us can change the world, even if it's a small change. But we can make bigger changes too. We would first need to get power (through money, politics, and some other venues like making a charitable org) and then change the world the way we want to.


Always believe in yourself. It's not impossible to change the world.

Yes i strongly believe we are all capable of creating social change, i've found in my own experiences that you need to start small and if you can rise up to the challenge you not only grow from it but you will be presented with an even greater opportunity to create social change on a larger level

a current project im working on: Ecuador Eco Adventure
the sites not finished yet, but me and my ecuadorian friend have helped bring work to the poorest province of Ecuador and have done what we can to help the environment.

The foundation i helped start is now running smoothly and growing in my absence (now that im back in Sydney) whats interesting is i've been offered an opportunity to work with a Fair Trade company operating out of Mexico, greater challenge, greater reward, and i wonder where ill end up after this?

check out the book Leaving Microsoft to Change the World to see what one man can do
