(Baonghean.vn) - Tomorrow (December 6), Time magazine will announce the title "Person of the Year 2017". So who deserves to receive this title?
 |
| In the 2017 TIME Magazine list just announced, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, who recently overtook Bill Gates as the world's richest person, is the only businessman nominated for this prestigious title. |
 |
| US President Donald Trump is still nominated for Person of the Year. As the leader of the world's number 1 economy, President Trump is still one of the most influential people on the planet. Mr. Trump was awarded this title before entering the White House in 2016. |
 |
| In addition to the US President, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is also one of the nominees. In 2017, North Korea repeatedly surprised the world with its intercontinental ballistic missile and nuclear weapons tests with extremely large range and destructive power. Sanctions against North Korea have not stopped the country's nuclear ambitions. |
 |
| TIME’s list also includes Robert Mueller, the recently appointed special counsel overseeing the investigation into Russian interference in the U.S. election. Mueller’s investigation has resulted in at least four charges, including former senior adviser to President Trump Michael Flynn. |
 |
| Also on the list of nominees this year is Chinese President Xi Jinping. Xi Jinping is known to be considered by experts as one of the most prominent world leaders in recent years. |
 |
| Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is also on the shortlist this year. In early November 2017, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the arrest of dozens of princes, officials, and businessmen in the country's anti-corruption campaign. |
 |
| American football player Colin Kaepernick (right) knelt during the national anthem to protest racism and police violence. The kneeling during the national anthem movement was initiated by Colin Kaepernick, a player for the San Francisco 49ers in 2016. This action was supported by African-American players in the NFL to protest discrimination against people of color in the United States. |
 |
| Patty Jenkins is the only woman nominated this year by Time. She is the director of the blockbuster "Wonder Woman". Wonder Woman is the best movie in the DCEU so far. |
 |
| In addition, two of the 10 nominees are not individuals but organizations. That is the #MeToo Movement, representing people, mostly women, to raise issues of sexual harassment and assault around the world. The #MeToo tag appeared last month when a series of famous American figures were accused of harassment or inappropriate behavior. |
 |
| The second group, Dreamers, describes young people whose legal status in the United States has been suspended. They are undocumented people who were brought to the United States illegally by their parents as children. If the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program expires at the end of next year, they will be deported. |
