Person of the year is an award that is hold by the United States newsmagazine Time. The award goes to the person that has been the most in the media, and it’s not always a good thing to receive the award, and there are not always good people that get this award. In 1938 Adolf Hitler got this award, and that was because he ran a campaign in Germany and this got allot of attention. I don’t think that his award is a positive thing, it’s just a statement.
This award can also be a good thing. Obama has won this award, just like Martin Luther King Jr.
I think this award can be a good- and a bad thing. The good side of this award is that people that actually do something good can be honored and get the attention that they deserve. The bad thing with this award is that anyone that do something that gets the media attention can get it, even if this person has done something bad or good. In the year 1942 Josef Stalin got the “person of the year” award, if you ask me, I think this i inappropriate, because he has done nothing good and he doesn’t deserve the honor or the attention.
This year The Protester won the award, and I think this an award that they deserve, and why do they deserve this award? They have only fight for there freedom, and all they wanted was to be heard. They just wanted to make the world a better place.
I think that this award should focus more on the good that people do, than focus on who has been the most in there newsmagazine. The fact that Osama Binladen has been discussed to be one of the nominees is provoking. This award should be about the people that actually care, and the people that want to do something good for the world, not the people that destroys
