EARTH — Time Magazine has announced its shortlist for the 2015 "Person of the Year" which includes both Donald Trump and Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi.
Time describes the criterion for its "Person of the Year" as "the person or persons who most affected the news and our lives, for good or ill, and embodied what was important about the year." Dating back a few decades, Time named Hitler "Person of the Year" in 1938 and chose Stalin the following year.
In alphabetical order, here are the nominees:
Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, The leader of Daesh, who has inspired and orchestrated terror attacks around the globe.
The Black Lives Matter activists, who have led the fight for the civil rights of black Americans, particularly those receiving unjust treatment at the hands of police.
Another candidate is Caitlyn Jenner, upon coming out as a transgender woman. Her dramatic change this year has opened up new conversations on gender identity and LGBT rights.
Travis Kalanick, the CEO of UBER, has made a big impact on what's known as the sharing economy.
German chancellor Angela Merkel has held down the Eurozone through tough economic times and led by example in Europe's refugee crises.
Vladimir Putin has made headlines this year for Russia's military activity in Ukraine as well as its role in the fight against ISIS.
Hassan Rouhani, president of Iran, reached a nuclear deal with the West to help lift sanctions that have hurt his country's economy.
And last up, Time has selected Donald Trump, the loudmouth-racist Republican frontrunner who makes headlines every time he opens his mouth.
Who do you think will be chosen? Leave your vote in the comments.
