Not exactly huge impacts on society, but some amazing scenery shots:

That picture of the Afghan girl is amazing, I remember it from years ago when my dad had a subscription to National Geographic. Here's a pic they did for a later story, showing the same woman 15 years later:

To me this says even more than the original picture. Her eyes look harder, her countenance rougher...you can tell the last 15 years had not been easy ones.

Her eyes are much duller. I'm guessing shes in her late 20's, or early 30's judging from her appearance in the first photo. She looks like shes had a bloody hard life, and looks alot older than a woman of her age should look.
