It’s that time again, when we start looking back at the past year and picking the gems of 2014. Time is doing the same, although its list may carry more weight. The magazine plans to unveil the Person of Year on Today on Wednesday morning, so it has published the eight candidates for that title, and Tim Cook is on the list.
In just two days, we will find out who has been chosen as the Person of 2014 by Time magazine; meanwhile, let’s see who is on that list:
– The Ferguson protesters
– The Ebola caregivers
– Vladimir Putin
– Taylor Swift
– Jack Ma
– Tim Cook
– Masoud Barzani
– Roger Goodell
Each one of the aforementioned persons has made headlines in the media. Time readers have already picked their own, voting for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as their favoured candidate in an online poll. What do you think? Should Tim Cook be the Person of the Year?

– The Ferguson protesters
– Vladimir Putin
– Taylor Swift
– Roger Goodell
Why are the above on this list?
Vladimir Putin has been in the center of a really controversial subject : the Ukrainian conflit. He is part of that problem and also part of the solution. He is, the same as Obama, one of the most influential person in the world. Taylor Swift is a known and renown artist who has been able, despite the music industry’s collapsing, to sell more than a million album in a week, which had not been done since the past 12 years or so. She is, also, a highly influential artist and part of the feminist movement.
These are some of the reasons why these people are nominated to be the Person of the year.
Putin wants to bring back Soviet Russia (but hey even Stalin was Man of the Tear twice and Hitler once) Taylor Swift is just another pop singer.
