graphic design is limited in what it can do to change anything apart from maybe market trends.
if by changing the world you mean creating a healthy and equitable global society then sustainability is your answer. product design and architecture are at the the forefront of possibilites for change. sustainable product development and sustainable architecture will provide practical solutions to many of the worlds problems.
the economic and legal imperitive will be what causes the greatest paradigm shift making it not only ethically driven but economically wise.

everyone listens to us.
even YOU listen to us.
we preach it and the public believes it because (hopefully) it looks believable.
the clients are the new god and we are the prophets.

Design as most of those here know it is nothing more than an extension of the advertising world. Can design change the world? That depends on the advertising client that you represent.
The wallpaper or website or cd packaging that you made today has little if any effect on the world as a whole.
Back to your cubicles please, deadlines approach and the masses need your artwork to propogate the consumerism that you claim to despise.
