When we seek to reco­gnise value

What do Ebo­la Figh­ters, Barack Oba­ma, Ame­ri­can sol­diers and Gre­ta Thun­berg all have in com­mon? Let’s see. Well, they’ve all been cho­sen as Per­son of the Year by Time maga­zine. Accor­ding to Wiki­pe­dia, the defi­ni­tion of this title is as fol­lows: “Per­son of the Year (cal­led Man of the Year or Woman of the Year until 1999) is an annual issue of the Uni­ted States news maga­zine Time that fea­tures and pro­files a per­son, a group, an idea, or an object that ‘for bet­ter or for worse… has done the most to influence the events of the year’.”

Take the time to read the article, it’s fas­ci­na­ting. We can say, among­st other things, that this nomi­na­tion igni­ted the web. Whe­ther we agree with her or not, lit­tle Thun­berg leaves no stone untur­ned. Some are outra­ged by her mes­sage, others by the impres­sion that she is being mani­pu­la­ted, or that she is mani­pu­la­ting her­self. Others see her as a pro­phet when she’s not like a saviour. It’s a real rol­ler coas­ter ride.

I’ll leave you to judge for your­self, consi­de­ring that my opi­nion on this mat­ter is of lit­tle inter­est. After all, long live free­dom of expression!
