The power to change a mind...

Though not generally thought of as a "superpower," I would love to have the power to change people's opinions.
Not only could I cultivate world peace, completely eradicate poverty and hunger, make racism obsolete, and set the world on a path to environmental sustainability, but I could also create a new world order of equality, pacifism, and democracy.
The morality of humanity has been slowly decaying from societal pressures throughout recent centuries, and humankind has reached a level of obsessive self-preservation that is almost sickening. With religious and political extremism reaching an astounding level of control in societal consciousness, and consumerism becoming the main philosophy of life throughout the developed world, we are in dire need of a major shift in thought process, or we will not only destroy our entire way of life, but our planet also.
The ability to change the collective consciousness of humanity would be my choice of superpower.
