Peace and Nobel Peace Prize

 

There comes up some headlines from around the world that nominees for Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 are registered.

 

Nobel Peace Prize is an award given to the one who has an outstanding achievement of the promotion in peace and disarmament. Among the nominees, three of them are receiving international attentions: Edward Joseph Snowden who revealed the indiscriminate intelligence collection activities of National Security Agency (NSA) of U.S.A, Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution which banned wars and military possession, and Russian President Vladimir Putin who contributed to the settlement of conflict in Syria.

 

After Red Cross Society's founder, Henry Dunant won the 1st Nobel Peace Prize, there are so many people and organizations that won the prize for about 100 years. There are 5 representatives, for example: Mother Teresa, 14th Dalai Lama who contribute to independence movement of Tibet, Aung San Suu Kyi who struggled nonviolently for achieving Myanmar's democracy and human rights. Also Nelson Mandela who struggled for democracy and end of racial discrimination, and president Dae-jung Kim who made a great effort for Korea's democracy, human rights and reconciliation between North and South.

 



But why are wars still existed on the earth, even a lot of people made efforts and sacrificed their lives for achieving peace? Why is real peace still not coming to reality? I think it is because there might be a few people who have done actions for trying to put our dreams that achieve peace into practice and working hard, as the proverb 'Action speaks louder than words' goes. So, I think now is the right moment when people and organizations that really put works for peace into action are needed.

I eagerly hope the one who works for the peace in and forward 2014 will be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. And I also wish for coming the real peace to the earth soon.
