Most of the answers are basically the same. What I'm getting at is what one person said, sorry can't remember the name now, that it can only change the world if it is made into reality. The idea itself does nothing without the work of the thinker.

Only if they take that idea and make it a reality.

Yes I believe one person's idea can change the world. Look around at the country we live in....we have freedoms others don't have, a democracy government, (the list goes on and on). But do you get the idea??? All of our freedoms and our "American" way of life came about from someone having ideas.
What does it takes to change the world??? Well there's only one hope for the world today. But to change our "personal" lifes....all we need is a dream and a passion to drive towards that dream becoming a reality.

One individual can change the international in that what absolutely everyone does result some different person. that is like a snowball result. you may no longer understand it yet something that someone did a lengthy time period in the past internationally may be effecting you in the present day. imagine about it that way and also you may want to maintain in mind that each action consequences some different person's existence now and interior the destiny.

Jesus our Christ is the first person that came to mind, but then His words were not "ideas". They are reality, spelled out to us very clearly. And without a doubt His words changed the world, from the time of His life till now, and I'm sure forever in time. God Bless you.

Einstein's Ideas changed the world, Hitlers ideas changed the world even Galileo ideas changed the world but the real question is wither the world deserves the idea of change

yes of course....because a certain idea of an individual can influence the other person...and that person might share that idea with others..thus one became two or more..
change starts from within..
take a look at this example...the westward voyage idea of columbus..that is we can reach the eastern part of the world by travelling westward..but that idea was not accepted before..until magellan sailed westward..and he proved it true...
another one is the idea of martin luther king jr...equality and freedom..which the black men are enjoying now..although some may not..
a persons idea may not change the whole wide world phisically or what...but it can affect or influence the people...which might change their mind or attitude or behavior...
that is to say..it can change the world in just two ways...positive and negative...

Henry David Thoreau writings on civil disobedience but the real question does anyone ever have an idea in a vacuum from other ideas? All ideas evolve from another idea

Let's see -
Thomas Edison (electric light)
Wright brothers (airplane)
Alexander G. Bell (telephone)
Jonas Salk (polio vaccine)
Sir Alexander Fleming (discovered penicillin)
Benjamin Franklin (lightning rods)
So, yeah. I'd say that one person's idea can change the world.
(These are just the positive ones - there are a lot of evil ones, too, that changed the world, but I didn't want to go into them.)
