>>Are you still speaking very narrowly as in religious conversion? Otherwise, a couple of examples:

No, I'm talking about actually changing other people to satisfy your own world view.

>>Parents raising children - twins studies illustrate the effects of nurture

Fair enough- but that's out of context for a forum of peers.

>> A drunk driver rendering another person a paraplegic in chronic pain

Also out of context.

>>Taken generally it gives people carte blanche to not be concerned about their actions, as they cannot change others.

Other way around- the scenario is a *desire* to change somebody else, not a careless inadvertent action.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
