Should The Nobel Peace Prize Be Abolished

Climate change is one of today’s most hotly debated topic. Scientists for many decades have made supposed claims that current energy creation and reliance on fossil fuels will lead to inevitable changes to the planet. Today, climate change denial is still a popular to most of the world despite the mounds of evidence to support that it exists. The climate change issue suffers from being mismanaged by various parties through focusing on the wrong issues and the lack of true commitment from the general public, according to Sandra Steingraber.

The Nobel Prize for Literature was not rewarded to the deserving writer. You have awarded Bob Dylan the Nobel Prize for Literature on October 13, 2016 degrading dedicated writers around the world. After dropping out of college in the 1960’s to pursue an occupation in which he was already well known as the times “most loved folk poet”, he turned to singing and writing rock-type songs with anti war messages. Whether he did “create new poetic expressions within the great American tradition” he has not proven himself worthy of such a significant award. Such a legendary award offered to many other brilliant writers, should be received by someone who can and will continue to change the world. This award could help out developing writers, developing countries, and should not be handed out single handedly.

The general argument made by Michael Binyon in “Comment: Absurd Decision on Obama Makes a Mockery of the Nobel Peace Prize” is that many recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize have not actually achieved peace. More specifically, Binyon argues that Barak Obama should not have been awarded the prize. He writes “rarely has an award had such an obvious political and partisan intent. This is correct because it demonstrates a lack of the integrity that this award was I tended to uphold. More specifically it is believed that this was a way for the Norwegian Nobel Committee to show approval for America’s election of its first black president and in hope that Washington will “honor its promise to re-engage with the world”.

On Thursday, October 13, 2016, Bob Dylan has been awarded the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature. Since then, it has been questioned whether or not he deserves this prize. Bob Dylan whose real name is Robert Allen Zimmerman was raised in Duluth, Minnesota. He has been singing and has been in bands since he was a teenager and has listened to songs from an even earlier age. He has been given many awards for his songs and has grown a reputation. However, being awarded the Nobel Prize had brought up a lot of arguments and questions on if Bob Dylan deserves it. The Nobel Prize was created by Alfred Nobel who want to prizes to those who have done something incredible in Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature, Peace, and Economic Sciences. Winners

On the contrary, opponents of NASA may speculate that overpopulation or ruining our planet will not occur, therefore the time, effort, and money spent on exploring Earth-like planets is useless. In actuality, overpopulation and the diminishing of Earth’s resources and health are working hand in

They argue this because they either do not want to believe that they are harming the environment, they believe the scientists that say its not man made or they might own a business that might profit off of something that causes greenhouse gases to be realised. “Global warming is a part of a natural cycle and there’s nothing that we can actually do to stop these cycles” (Dowd). Some scientist believe when the Earth gets warmer it is just part of a cycle. They believe this because in the past the Earth has had cycles of cooling and cycles of warming. Some people believe that climate change is natural and it will fix itself as long as we as humans don't interfere with the process. The people that believe climate change is natural and not man made are wrong. They are wrong because there is more evidence that humans are causing climate change. It may be true that the Earth has cycles of ice ages and cycles of the Earth getting warmer, but we are speeding up the process of the heating of the Earth. We are doing this by releasing harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The people that believe that mother nature will fix the problem of climate change may be right but the process of nature balancing itself out would take to long. It would take to long because everytime nature would take a step towards correcting the problem, we as humans would take one step back if we keep up the way we are

All of this evidence, as the author states, is evidence towards the negative impact humans are having on our planet. Because of the way of life we all like to sustain we are killing earth and her natural internal rhythmic cyclicity. Earth is no longer cooling and warming in her natural way, instead Earth is being influenced, in a very negative way, which is causing Earth to become instable, dangerous, and moving towards the direction of inhabitable for humans. With that said, it is important to understand that some of the predictions and warnings scientists have declared are not always so accurate. One example of this was the claim that the Himalayan glaciers would be nonexistent by 2035 has been discredited. This claim of extinction was long-standing and has only recently been disproven. This is just one example that not all claims scientist are making about are changing earth are accurate. With that said, there is very serious, accurate and credited stats and data that do prove we are changing our earth. How impactful humans are towards earth’s destruction has yet to be completely

I thing that the most pressing issue for our enviornment in North Americe, is the pollution of our air and water. I believe this is the biggest issue because it effects everyone, and everyone should care. Some people may not care how many trees we cut down, or the fact that their fruits and veggitables are all geneticly modified and are coverd in pestisides. And if they dont care about our air and water now, they deffinately will when it staarts to make them sick, or they have to wear and face mask covering their mouth and nose in order to breathe outside without getting completed contaminated. Or when they start drinking unfiltered water, and chugging down loads of floride, and start to notice themselvees getting less healthy. I believe that this is an increasing issue as more, and more factories are being built, more cars are

(claim of fact) Among the many challenges we face in society, environmental degradation and the exhaustion of resources is one of the challenges that will have the most impact on not only our future generations, but the future of the earth. The human population across the globe is degrading both the terrestrial and marine biomes through means such as deforestation, the emission of greenhouse gases, improper disposal of waste, and other forms of pollution. As the global population continues to rise, the way we use our energy and our resources continues to gain importance. “These changes are down to human activity, not natural variability,” says Professor Will Steffen of the Australian National University to The Guardian.

The Nobel Prize is an award that has been awarded to a total 107 laureates between the years 1901-2000, but surely now there is more. This prize would have never been awarded if wasn’t for Alfred Nobel. The irony behind everything was Alfred Nobel was actually the mastermind and distributor of dynamite. One day a newspaper company assumed that Nobel was dead and named him “The Merchant of Death”. That impacted Nobel and wanted to make a change. With his fortune he made 6 prizes; Physics,Chemistry,Medicine,Literature, Peace, and Economic Sciences. In 1995, Joseph Rotblat was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for trying to eliminate nuclear arms and reduce the role nuclear arms took place in international politics. Joseph Rotblat is an important

What would you do if your entire nation is being ravaged by a disease that you don't know how to treat? That's where The Carter Center stepped in to aid struggling families in Africa. Led by former president Jimmy Carter and his wife, they were able to bring cures to villages that have none. Some people may say that the Carters just want to gain media attention but I will prove that is not the case. The purpose of this essay is to show why I believe the Carter Center should be awarded the "Nobel Peace Prize."

It was announced on October 9, 2009 that American President Barack Obama is this year’s recipient of the Nobel Prize for Peace. The Nobel Foundation states that Obama was chosen "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples." (Nobel Foundation) Controversy and debate ensued in the world wide media. Critics have debated Obama’s worthiness. Supporters have cited numerous examples of the current U.S. Presidents’ nobility. Obama does deserve this prestigious award.

The works of The XIV Dalai Lama did not go unnoticed. In 1989 he received the Nobel Peace Prize for consistently championing policies of nonviolence and human rights in his own beleaguered country as well as in other strife-torn areas of the world. He is the first Nobel Laureate to be recognized for his concerns for global environmental problems. The Dalai Lama in his struggle for the liberation of Tibet consistently has opposed the use of violence. He has instead advocated peaceful solutions based upon tolerance and mutual respect in order to preserve the historical and cultural heritage of his people. His holiness, accepting the Nobel peace

The issue with climate change is between Christians, and people who believe humans are the problem of why climate change is happening, and getting worse. Although Christians know that God is making climate change happen for a reason, there is still an affect on the way humans take care of the earth. Numbers 35:33 says, “You shall not pollute the land in which you live, for blood pollutes the land, and no atonement can be made for the land for the blood that is shed in it, except by the blood of the one who shed it” (New International Version). Man (Secularists) say that earth has been here for billions of years, and the Earth’s temperature has been stable for over ten-thousand years. Now that observational science shows that Earth’s climate is now changing, secularists assume that human activity must be the cause of this change in temperature. But, these models are unprovable assumptions about Earth’s history. Methods such as the tree ring and ice core dating that are used to give these stable temperature readings are also unprovable assumptions” (Foley, Avery. “Science Confirms Climate Change!”). “Now, according to God’s word, we get a very different picture of Earth’s history. The Bible says that the earth is not billions of years old, but rather only six-thousand years old. Originally, there was a perfect creation where there was a “perfect climate”. This climate was

“There’s one issue that will define the contours of this century more dramatically than any other, and that is the urgent threat of a changing climate.” - Barack Obama. Climate change has been a popular topic of discussion, because of the threat to our environment. The world will forever be changed if climate change isn’t taken into serious consideration and not in a good way. Climate change has been a popular topic of discussion, because of the threat to our environment. Climate change has had many negative effects, for example, damage to coral reefs, the increase of wildfires, and most importantly rising sea levels. The damage to our earth cannot always be undone nevertheless it can make some things disappear forever.
