In other words, having the ability to change the world gives you the right to do so? Interesting concept.
Interesting observation.

...But if people in the past thought that, the world may very well be a very different place. Say, in the past slavery was very common, and was the norm. Was it wrong for someone to try to change the world to be a better place by saying that slavery was wrong? Did they not have the right to say that? If they don't have the right, how will the world change to a world without slavery if they can't do anything to change it?

There is no such thing as "right", as "right" differs from person to person, as well as from time to time. People can only do what they think is "right" in the place and time they are in.
