Miley Cyrus Candidate for Person of the Year

Miley Cyrus, the daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus, acquired much of her fame from her the Disney show “Hannah Montana”.   Miley has been getting a lot of public recognition lately, and not particularly for them best reasons.  Being caught several times at parties doing things she shouldn't be is just one of the main reasons she’s been getting so much attention lately. Now what’s next for her but being up for Time Magazines’ Person of The Year?
Time magazine is of the most popular magazines in America and has done their Person of the Year since 1927; when Charles Lindbergh won for being the person to fly a plane across the Atlantic Ocean.  The Person of the year doesn't necessarily have to be a person that has done something helpful towards the world, but rather has done something big to be known around the world.  A prime example, in 1938, Adolf Hitler won Times Person of the Year, notorious for the mass genocide or Jews and several other victims.  The very next year in 1939, Joseph Stalin who was the leader of the communist party in the Soviet Union won.  These two are great examples of people winning for doing horrible things, but were notorious around the world.  However, Miley may not be as evil as Hitler and Stalin, but she has made some bad choices which is giving her the great amount of attention that perhaps she wants.
I can admit, Miley has had a rough year, when her dreamy boyfriend Liam Hemsworth broke things off with her, but haven’t we all been heartbroken as times? Most people think this is what set her on the edge to chop off her hair and start getting into drugs and alcohol at a young age.  In her new album Bangerz, she makes several references to drugs.  In her popular song “Wrecking Ball” which is even more popular for her music video, she is shown without clothes covered only by a wrecking ball, and also is shown licking a hammer.  Perhaps the song is a reference to her breakup which is what several people are saying, but it is still rather vulgar.
As of Monday, Miley was in the lead with 20.2% of the votes but since then her lead has narrowed.  Several people would be please with Miley winning the Person of the Year award but on the other hand, there are a great amount that would be disappointed.  Many people think by having her as a Person of the year will make kids look up to her as an influence which most parents wouldn't be too proud of.
