Government policies have been influential in shaping the destiny of people it governs. And there is another, equally compelling, argument that revolutionaries like Martin Luther King Jr., Mahatma Gandhi, Che Guera have made a lasting impact on collective conscience of people of their respective countries. In my opinion, an individual can be more influential in the long run, rather than a temporary law enacted by the government.
