Time Magazine explains why it picked Angela Merkel as 'person of the year'
REUTERS/Thomas Peter Europe’s most powerful leader is a refugee from a time and place where her power would have been unimaginable. The German Democratic Republic, where Angela Merkel grew up, was neither democratic nor a republic; it was an Orwellian horror show, where the Iron Curtain found literal expression in the form of the Berlin Wall. The shy daughter of a Lutheran minister, Merkel slipped into politics as a divorced Protestant in a largely Catholic party, a woman in a frat house, an Ossi in the newly unified Germany of the 1990s where easterners were still aliens. No other major Western leader grew up in a stockade, which gave Merkel a rare perspective on the lure of freedom and the risks people will take to taste it. Her political style was not to have one; no flair, no flourishes, no charisma, just a survivor’s sharp sense of power and a scientist’s devotion to data. Even after Merkel became Germany’s Chancellor in 2005, and then commanded the world’s fourth largest economy, she remained resolutely dull—the better to be underestimated time and again. German pundits called her Merkelvellian when she outsmarted, isolated or just outlasted anyone who might mount a challenge to her. Ever cautious, she proudly practiced what Willy Brandt once called _Die Politik der kleinen Schritte_ (the politics of baby steps), or as we call it in the U.S., leading from behind. Then came 2015. Not once or twice but three times this year there has been reason to wonder whether Europe could continue to exist, not culturally or geographically but as a historic experiment in ambitious statecraft. Merkel had already emerged as the indispensable player in managing Europe’s serial debt crises; she also led the West’s response to Vladimir Putin’s creeping theft of Ukraine. But now the prospect of Greek bankruptcy threatened the very existence of the euro zone. The migrant and refugee crisis challenged the principle of open borders. And finally, the carnage in Paris revived the reflex to slam doors, build walls and trust no one. Each time Merkel stepped in. Germany would bail Greece out, on her strict terms. It would welcome refugees as casualties of radical Islamist savagery, not carriers of it. And it would deploy troops abroad in the fight against ISIS. Germany has spent the past 70 years testing antidotes to its toxically nationalist, militarist, genocidal past. REUTERS/Thomas Peter Merkel brandished a different set of values—humanity, generosity, tolerance—to demonstrate how Germany’s great strength could be used to save, rather than destroy. It is rare to see a leader in the process of shedding an old and haunting national identity. “If we now have to start apologizing for showing a friendly face in response to emergency situations,” she said, “then that’s not my country.” And so this time, the woman who trained as a quantum chemist did not run the tests and do the lab work; she made her stand. The blowback has come fast and from all sides. Donald Trump called Merkel “insane” and called the refugees “one of the great Trojan horses.” German protesters called her a traitor, a whore; her allies warned of a popular revolt, and her opponents warned of economic collapse and cultural suicide. The conservative _Die Welt _published a leaked intelligence report warning about the challenge of assimilating a million migrants: “We are importing Islamic extremism, Arab anti-Semitism, national and ethnic conflicts of other people as well as a different understanding of society and law.” Her approval ratings dropped more than 20 points, even as she broadcast her faith in her people: _“Wir schaffen das,”_ she has said over and over. “We can do this.” NOW WATCH: A self-driving Mercedes-Benz truck drove on Germany’s Autobahn

Best of TV 2015: No 6 – Master of None
Aziz Ansari navigated the transfer from standup to sitcom with style, and when his show tackled race, it was bold, thoughtful and game-changing There’s been a buzz surrounding Aziz Ansari for a decade and a half now – whether he’s dancing through the reels of Judd Apatow-associated comedies such as Get Him to the Greek and Funny People, playing the scene-stealing Tom Haverford in Parks and Recreation, or casting himself as the living embodiment of Tinderonomics in his book Modern Romance. But it’s taken a while for TV to properly catch up with the Ansari multi-hyphenate talent machine. Master of None sits in the post-Louie, Curb Your Enthusiasm genre of indie sitcoms: a hybrid of surreal moments and awkward modern manners that’s also deeply moving. The decision to make his first sitcom with the editorially maverick streaming network Netflix, which spent 2015 rewriting the rules of TV tropes (from Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt to Jessica Jones) seems fitting.
