Individuals can do nothing to change society. Any new developments can only be brought about by governments and large institutions. How far do you agree or disagree?

Some
people
believe that
one
person cannot do a big change in the
world
.
Moreover
, only authorities and gigantic companies are able to make it. In that case, some of us suppose that the modern
world
will be never changed by only
one
man. In my mind, the mention earlier statement has a pretty good point.
However
, I think the modern
world
that has so many techs for communication let even individuals make great things. As history has shown, there are a
lot
of
people
in the past who made cultural, technical and political revolutions on their own. In those times, the internet did not exist and
people
could not communicate with each other as quickly as now.
Nevertheless
, historical figures
such
as Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. made a
lot
of significant changes for
society
and their work still help
people
.
In other words
, even those times
people
did amazing deeds. Nowadays, technical devices and mass media developments let us inform
people
around the
world
for several seconds. Web sites and smartphone apps give the modern
people
opportunity to change the
world
. Influencers from the whole planet have made tons of helpful things.
For example
, a young video creator from the YouTube platform gets a
lot
of donations for his support project. Using donations from other
people
he helped families who were affected by floods. All that activity was made only for
one
month thanks to new technologies. So, he alone did a
lot
for
society
.
Therefore
, I think that
people
who suppose that only
one
person cannot do any change in
society
are wrong and I absolutely disagree with them. In conclusion, some
people
believe that only huge groups or authorities can make big changes in
society
. Even though, I cannot agree with them. There are a
lot
of
people
who showed us that huge things can do only
one
person.
