Who do you think should be person of the year 2006?

Question

I know that TIME voted 'you!'...
but I gotta find another _specific person as a homework...
actually... not another, but 3 other persons... in these categories;
a) humanities
b) science and technology
c) arts and culture

I've already found one for humanities... I picked Muhammad Yunus.. anyway.. i still need candidates for science and technology & arts and culture.... so who do u think should be the ones? Why?

Answer 1

Why don't you do a google search for the nobel prize winners and select that person for science and technology. For arts and culture you could look at Spike Lee or someone else for their documentaries on Katrina.

Answer 2

For science and techonology, you should write about the founders of Google, they have really changed the way people use the Internet

For arts and culture, I am not sure about for 2006 but choose someone whose art inspires you rather than just because someone said it was good and inspiring

Answer 3

George Bush... don't shoot I'm just kidding!
seriously, for art you should do Chuck Close. He's a photo realist and his stuff is amazing, he is paralyzed from the neck down I think and he still paints.
I can't think of a good one for science, good luck.

Answer 4

For medical sciences:


"Alcohol Genes and Biomarkers" Dr. Steven Nye (Principal Investigator) of PhysioGenix, to genetically map alcohol preference and to generate gene expression signatures for alcohol-induced liver damage.

Answer 5

yeah for Muhammad Yunus

Answer 6

a) Me. My myriad answers to society's most difficult conundrums are well documented here on Yahoo Answers. Be it theories on the afterlife or "am I fat," I'm here to help.

b) Me. When I see technology, I think "how can I use the powers this gives me to help people?" Like my notebook, which I use to answer questions.

c) Me. My contributions to poetry and dirty limericks are too numerous to mention. The Queen should knight me.

In short, I recommend you pick me.

Answer 7

omg Muhammud yummnaassass...real good idea lets give money to people that dont have jobs or no way to pay it back THATS A GOOD ONE

Answer 8

a) Rosie O'Donell (she needs to get real, and get her self a BRAIN!)
b) The Guy that made Microsoft (forgot his name<--i can't think!)
c) Oprah (the lady that opened that one school in Africa! <--she is a nice lady to actually do that!)

Answer 9

Obviously it should be me.
Your id says it all - you want to be me!
You can put me up for the other 2 categories.
Thank you.
