How about just a city?

It starts with one person!
If you have something to offer a city that will make a positive change, start it off by bringing it to your pastor or to the mayor.
Your idea may be the solution to a long line of problems that may be shared in other cities, states and countries. Don't sell yourself short, start with your clergyman.

In order for one person to change the world, it requires many people to cooperate with or agree to the change, and so those people are equally a part of the change. One person may play a key role, but great change takes place through cooperation. From another perspective, a single person can be a catylist for change, but that works only because there is a potential for that change already present and waiting to be tapped.

Jesus, Buddha, Muhammad, Plato, Columbus, Tim Berners Lee, Logie Baird, Faraday, Einstein, Luther King......want i'm happening, also as has been highlighted Hitler, then genghis khan, alexandra the tremendous, Thomas Midgely Jr, there have been lots yet its all a count number of scale, all our movements have an enduring result on the international for reliable or for undesirable. if you're unfamiliar with any of the above I recommend you do a short call search for on wikipedia. EDIT:: LOL only be i could were writing the very similar words(only about) on the very similar time as you, you've been a million min ahead of me!!!! EDIT 2:: If the operative be conscious is completely then no it really is not attainable i imagine we as a species are in easy words short contained in the universe..... or it truly is difficulty for your definition of permanence. I took your question to intend persons who by ability of their movements had inspired the way human beings imagine and behave on a international scale or that if the recommendations and movements of certain persons were no longer realised and no one else fulfilled their position then the international could be percievably diverse than it truly is at the moment. i love the question better now that it style of feels you've idea about it better than I first assumed.

Jehovah's Witnesses try to change the world one person at a time.
However, we know that Satan is the real ruler of the world, and the only real and lasting answer the God's Kingdom. That is why we are trying to reach everyone with the Good News of the Kingdom, just as Jesus prophesied we would in the Bible,

A doctor paid a visit to one of his young patients in a hospital cancer ward. The doc tells the young man, "your chances of recover are very good, but you have to be willing to fight." The young man replies, "Why? What's the difference?" "It's not like one man can change the world", the young man continues.
The doctor leaves, but returns an hour later. He moves the young man's bed nearer to the window, opens the curtain, instructs the young man to watch the yard outside, and leaves again. Within a few minutes, the doctor appears in the yard where he begins to plant a small, yet beautiful, tree. The doctor then returns the patients room and exclaims, "There... Now, I have changed the world."

The world is never exactly the same as it was yesterday.... So yes one person can change the world. Some notable ones are Bush, Bill Gates, and Sam Walton. But not just people with money and power, but everyone can. We are all connected in one way or another. THINK OF IT AS THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT or THE THEORY OF RELATIVITY.

Not only possible, but has already been done many times by many people.
The real question here is whether the change the person creates is lasting change or temporary change, since the funny thing about change is that it changes.
I could give you the names of 100s or even Ks of men and women that changed the world they lived in, even after they were dead, but only one person changed the world permanently, whether people recognize it or not: Jesus.

Yes it is possible for one person to change the world, this includes today's society.

what do you mean by change the world? i believe one person could effect the way people everywhere feel about a topic. i also believe that one person could change the world for the worst a whole lot easier than one person could change the world for the better. i wish the world wasn't this way.

Jesus did, he sacrificed himself to give us all eternal life.
There are people out there that have made an impact on cities,
bombings of the WTC, the twin towers, Tim Laveigh (?!) that bombed in OK, David Koresh, they have all made an impact and changed things for many people that they were involved with around them.
It is possible.
