Do you agree that some of the Nobel Prize decisions are controversial? Which ones of them make you doubt the most?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Nobel Peace Prize is the most controversial prize on earth (Susannah Locke,\u00a02015).\u00a0The most recent and likely the most controversial Nobel Peace Prize was given to President Barack Obama in 2009. This was in the first term of his presidency, so there were\u00a0many people who disagreed on its validity, as well as the timing, because of his\u00a0involvement in bombing activities parallel to\u00a0the campaigns for the creation\u00a0of drones since his acceptance of this prestigious award.

More controversial decisions;\u00a0Chinese\u00a0Liu Xiaobo human rights activist,\u00a0literary critic, writer and\u00a0professor, received the award in 2010.\u00a0Xiaobo’s\u00a0quest\u00a0for political reforms brought\u00a0the end of the communist\u00a0single-party rule. He is currently\u00a0incarcerated.<\/p>\n

Burmese opposition\u00a0politician and\u00a0chairperson\u00a0of the\u00a0National League for Democracy\u00a0Aung San Suu Kyi received her award in 1991, two years after she served fifteen of twenty years under house arrest. As one of the world’s most prominent political prisoners, the question remains,\u00a0why was she\u00a0awarded The Nobel Peace Prize?<\/p>\n

British authors Robert Graves and Lawrence Durrell were in the running to win The Novel Peace Award in 1962, but lost to\u00a0John Steinbeck. Since the fifty year secret which is\u00a0governed by the\u00a0archives in Sweden has passed, these archives show that Steinbeck was not their first choice\u00a0(Allison Flood, 2013).<\/p>\n

While the committee praised Steinbeck “for his realistic and imaginative writings, combining as they do sympathetic humor and keen social perception,” ironically,\u00a0the archived\u00a0documents stated that\u00a0his selection\u00a0was\u00a0the best from\u00a0a bad group. This is controversy at its best.<\/p>\n
