Individuals can do nothing to change society. New developments can be only brought about by governments and large institutions. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

When the issue of citizen’s importance comes into view, there exist conflicting opinions. Truth be told, individuals’ role in developments has generated much discussion recently. Some people believe that any new

can only be brought about by governments and large institutions. Personally, I completely disagree with the idea that individuals can do nothing to

change

society

for the following reasons. Some people are inclined to work with others, think that only the authorities and large institutions can bring about new developments. I don’t think

this

argument is valid because a large institution is shaped by individuals, which means that without individuals, the institution will find it difficult doing everything. The governments maybe can make a big decision, but it is not to say that individuals don’t have any affection! Citizens who on the government’s side

also

say that individuals can do nothing to

change

society

. I disagree with

this

too, as I think everyone have their own way to do that or contribute to the country’s development. They can do charity by their own substances, including money, clothes, necessity,... Or devote their knowledge, ideas....

For example

, Thomas Edison is a scientist, inventor and a businessman who invented many devices that affected our lives. And now, the whole world benefits from his idea.

This

directly suggests that, individuals

also

can exert an influence on developments and help to

change

society

. I strongly believe that individuals can incorporate small

change

in their daily routines, which will

then

sum up to be a big

change

in

society

. Some individual action seems quite small and did not bring much influence, but in fact, it's maybe bring great impact on the community.

Moreover

, we suppose that only large institutions can make a

change but

Accept comma addition

change, but

have we ever thought about how to set up an

organization

? Of course, we don’t often think about it. To form an

organization

or a group of people, we need a founder or a leader.

That is

exactly why each individual is very important in changing

society

. Take Hermann Gmeiner as a perfect example, he is the founder of the SOS children’s village which is an international non-profit

organization

to help and protect the orphans, wandering and missed children. It was founded in 1949 and now ranked 33 out of 100 non-profit

organization

Suggestion

organizations

in the world “for global influence”. What can be inferred from

this

is an individual’s action can

also

have a big impact on the

change

and development of

society

. In conclusion, I would say that nobody should underestimate each individual’s contribute or effort to

change

because every major

change

in

society

comes from personal

change

. Anyone can make a big impact in

society

without governments and large institutions.
