To be honest, I really don’t know that much about it, but I believe the Nobel Prize is awarded annually and it was established by the 1895. The fist winner to receive one of these prizes was Theodore Roosevelt. It would be a great honor to win a Nobel prize for peace because I shall have done the most or the best work for our nation. In my opinion I don’t know of anyone who should of not received the award, I believe all who have received these award they must have deserved it or they wouldn’t have won it. Who am I to judge them anyways? I can think of two people who deserve to win one. It’s possible they may have already won one, as I said before, I don’t know who has or has not. My first choice would be Carrie Tin Boom for helping save the lives of Jewish people escaping from Nazi Germany. She not only hid them, at the risk of her own life, but helped them to arrange their escape. My second choice would be George Washington for his inventions that have made a huge difference in the world. The people who like peanut butter also should thank him, for where would we be without good old peanut butter? I am sure there are many deserving people in the world that deserves to win this award. I am thankful there are those who are inventors, and peacemakers’ etc.to set the examples for the rest of us. Our world needs them, especially in these tormented times. I also believe there has been great performance such as Doris Lessing( 2007 Literature) Martin Luther king Jr.( 1964 Peace), Theodore Kocher (Medicine 1909), Jimmy Carter( Peace 2002), Mother Teresa (Peace,1979), Al Gore ( Peace,2007) and Barack Obama (Peace, 2009) and Albert Einstein (1921 Physics)

I think that Noble Prizes are good way to recognize someone’s outstanding job. I myself would not prefer to win one, because I just do not think it is necessary for me. In my opinion all of the winners who received Nobel Prized did deserve it. However, I do believe that there are many people who did not receive it but also deserved it. I cannot name them, but I know that there are many people who worked on something hard and achieved great goals. However, the only reason they cannot receive a Nobel Prized just because they do not meet qualifications. Which are the follows for the Noble Peace Prize: 1. Members of national assemblies and governments of states; 2. Members of international courts; 3. University rectors; professors of social sciences, history, philosophy, law and theology; directors of peace research institutes and foreign policy institutes; 4. Persons who have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize; 5. Board members of organizations who have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize; 6. Active and former members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee; (proposals by members of the Committee to be submitted no later than at the first meeting of the Committee after February 1) and 7. Former advisers appointed by the Norwegian Nobel Institute.

The Nobel Prize is a very prestigious and honorable prize to win. It is a very good thing that they thought of this sort of prize. It honors people and inspired people to do good things. It established the people who have done great things. I think if I were to win a Nobel Prize then I would like it to be the Nobel Prize for peace. I want there to be peace on the Earth and even though I know it is impossible, I would want to do everything in my power to help it be just a little bit more peaceful. I know of a few people who have been awarded the Nobel Prize. I think that this award is a very rare and important award and If you received it, that means that you earned it. In my native country there were a lot of eligible people who have done amazing things, but never became famous enough to receive the Prize. I think that there have been a lot of people who deserved the prize, but there efforts just were not recognized. I hope that in the future more great people are recognized and are awarded the Nobel Prize.

The Nobel Prize one of the most prestigious international premiums, awarded for outstanding scientific researches revolutionary inventions or the large contribution to culture or development of a society. I was thinking about Nobel Prize and I think every person can win prize. Just you have to be very smart and create new and useful for society. Maybe I would like to create for society just one thing- that people would have the world and well-being.

The Nobel Prize is one of the greatest honors in the world today. Once a year, people win this prize for their achievement. Nobel Prize winners receive their awards at ceremonies in Stockholm, Sweden, and Oslo, Norway, on December 10, the anniversary of the death of Alfred Nobel. Nobel was a scientist and inventor. In his will, he left his fortune to create the Nobel Prize. Nobel wanted people to remember him as a man of peace, but in his lifetime he was most famous for building weapons of war. I think it is great that we have the Nobel Prize. We have many famous people who work hard for peace, literature, medicine, physics or economics. Mikhail Gorbachev from Soviet Union got The Nobel Prize. He made a lot for our world. He brought freedom in Soviet Union, and peace around the world. He destroyed communist time and it was the biggest achievement for 20th century. People who get the Nobel Prize they get a gold medal, a diploma, and $ 1 million. They do not take money; they have to give this money for developing any achieving or creating. For example, it can be on spending money for any vaccine, or cancer treatment, or something else. I believe that people get the Nobel Prize for their great performance, as I wrote above, Gorbachev was a good example. I admire him. You just imagine yourself; he could destroy the communist time. If you do not know what that means, you can not understand what achievement Gorbachev made not only for my country, but also around the world. People who lived in a communist country they know what life they had. Last year, President of the USA got the Nobel Prize for peace.

I think noble prize is a good idea. It has been awarded every year to a person who made an extraordinary job and contributed to achieve a very important thing. I would prefer to win noble prize in science especially in medicine because it is for the benefit the people around the world, and it is encouraged to a scientist to strive solving problems. However, sometime it is funny that committee of noble prize awarded to people who never made or achieved anything. For example, noble prize for peace that it is never existed in the world. War and political crisis are big problems in many country of the world for years without stopping and I don’t think so human being cannot bring a real peace. I believe there had been some people who received noble prize for their great performance or outstanding achievements like; Albert Einstein in physics and those scientists who invent different things that are useful for people.

The greatest prize in the world is Nobel. Whoever got Nobel prize.Tthey was very honor because they got credit of the world. Nobel prize isn’t easy to get because they must had knowledge and worked hard. They spent much time for examine and followed the purpose. In my opinion I prefer to win a Nobel prize for peace because in many wars people died a lot, especially in the world war 1 and 2. People hated it. Absolutely, Nobel peace become greatest prize. I believe that there had been some people who should have received Nobel prize for their great performance or outstanding. They are Henry Dunaut, jimmy carter, Muhamad Yunus. Recently is president Barrack Obama. They help for the world is getting better. The world will respect all their achievements. Nobel is great in the world.

This is a very good deal because every person that gets a Nobel Prize works very hard to achieve it. I would prefer to win a Nobel Prize for peace. I chose peace because this is the most important for us human beings. My parents lived through World War 2 and there was battles fought on our land. When they told us about it they said it was really hard. Once peace came they said you notice how much easier it is to live when there is no fighting or war. In my opinion I think that everyone who received the award deserved it and worked really hard for it. I don't know anyone who doesn't deserve the award. I haven't met or know anyone who should have received the Nobel Prize for their great performance or outstanding achievements. Maybe there were a few people who didn't get the Nobel Prize but I do not know any of them.

I think that Nobel Prize is very nice things. People who received this prize had to do something amazing like discovering DNA, making peace or discovering lifesaving drugs. If I had to receive one, it would be in medicine, because I always wanted to make something that would improve human lives. There are a lot of people that should have received Nobel Prize but one is special and her name is Rosalind Franklin. She had big part in discovering of DNA. She took pictures of it with x-ray camera. Rosalind helped to discover double helix. After that she died of cancer. Rosalind Franklin wasn’t nominated because she died. I know another person who was Polish Catholic and from 1939 to 1945, she personally saved the lives of 2,500 Jewish children from the Warsaw Ghetto. At that time she didn’t think about her life because she wanted to save children lives and doesn’t matter who were these children. She was nominated in 2007, but was passed over in favor of Al Gore. She died in 2008 when she was 98.

Nobel Prize is an annually international award for any of the six outstanding achievements in the fields of physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature or economics, or peace. Prizes are awarded by four institution( three Swedish and one Norwegian from a fund established under the will of Alfred B. Nobel. I think that each person is special, but maybe this person just didn't open its talant, because to receive a nobel prize you have to work really hard. In my opinion everybidy who received the nobel prize deserved it. I know that Theodor Roosevelt received nobel prize for peace. And Einstain received it for his invention in physics. In russian Ivan Pavlov won the Nobel Prize for invention in the medicin. He received this prize for researching reflexes. I'd like to win the Nbel Prize, but i don't think that i have enough knowledge in any of this fields that is requered for nobel prize.

I don’t that much about the Nobel Prizes, but I think is given to people that have done something really important for the humanity. I know there different categories for the Nobel Prize such as peace, literature, medicine, physics or economics. A Nobel Prize is a very important recognition for these people achievements. I think is compare to the gold medal in the sports. The Nobel Prize gives to the winner the encourage to keep working on their field. I disagree about who choose the Nobel Prize candidates and why not everybody can be a winner. I don’t understand why a Norwegian committee is responsible of choosing the candidates and to be an eligible candidate you have to be a member of an organization. I would prefer to win the Nobel Medicine Prize because I think that who wins this price have made a very important contribution to the medicine field and this will help every person in the world. I don’t if there are people who shouldn’t have received the Noble Prize, but I am a little disappointed with last year Nobel Peace Prize because it was given to the president Barack Obama, I know that is a peaceful man, very diplomatic, but he has a war going, that’s why I am disagree a little bit. I know that there are people that should win a Nobel Prize, but I cannot name any.

If you present an award to a person who doesn’t deserve it, everyone knows it and your recognition program isn’t worth anything. In my opinion, the Nobel Peace Prize is an example of this. Although many of the Peace Prize winners make sense, look at a few recent winners: Yasser Arafat, former Vice President Al Gore, and President Barack Obama. In your mind, did those people do a lot for peace? In Gore’s case, the award seemed to have less to do with peace than it did on Gore’s work on man-made climate change. Nobel can present their prize to anyone they wish for any reason they wish, but I smell politics. I don’t think much of the Peace Prize any longer, but I wouldn’t turn it down. I could use the $100,000.

Alfred Nobel was an inventor. He worked very hard days and nights. He made a lot of experiments and he was very rich man. He left a testament, a part of his money, for reward the new inventions. I don’t know how many people work as hard as he did, but since then the Nobel Prize has been awarded for different achievements. It is the most important international prize in the world and I want to believe that everyone that got it, deserved it. I was looking at the list of people who got the Nobel Prize and I realized that I’m familiar with just a few names. One of them is Michael Gorbachev. In his speech for Nobel lecture, he is talking about “perestroika” that he did. Yes, I remember his economic “perestroika”. In 1985 he starts nonalcoholic program that began with destroying whole land of vineyard. He tried to change something and he did. People drank less wine, they start to use drugs. He has degree in agriculture, so he should have known how much time and work require growing grapes. The result of his “perestroika” was unemployment and immigration, wars, destroyed families and orphan children. The price was too big. There were other ways to do what he means to do. He did some change in politics for what he won the Nobel Prize, but I cannot believe that he was the one who made the peace in the world. He just got lucky being the president at that time. I have my opinion about people receiving Nobel Prize, especially for peace. Everything should be done perfectly to deserve it. If someone has different opinion, I’m okay, I’d not argue.

I think that people should get some kind of awards in their life.Yes,I prefer to get some kind of a prize. I really don't know any people that should not and should received an Nobel Prize. I think that my grandpa from my dads side should have gotten a Prize for staying alive in the hard times. In those days their family didn't have any food so he tried to help the family to live. With Gods help everyone in the family was saved. A lot of people died.

Noble Prize is a prize that you have to work hard if you want to get it. There are prizes for physics, chemistry, peace, literature, and medicine. If I won a Nobel Prize, it would be in physics. I remember about Jose Figueres Ferrer who was the President of Costa Rica 3 times. During this time he gave women right to vote, abolished the army, he outlawed Communism, and made education possible to every child in the country. Second famous person who wasn’t nominated of the Nobel Prize was Dr. Feng Shan Ho. He was a diplomat from China, while he was working in Austria, he gave more than 2,000 visas Jews, and he may have saved thousands of lives. I read that whoever saves one life saves the world entire. It is true. Dr. Feng Shan Ho was 96 when he died. He has been nicknamed “China’s Schindler.” Many people did good things but people forget about them.

I think that Nobel Prize is a great award and we need many more such awards in the categories such as peace, literature, medicine, physics or economics. I would like to win a Nobel Prize for peace because this is what humanity needs most, be it personal or international, people lack it in every sphere of life. I believe, that because of renowned status of this prize many decisions of who should receive it are political and are with preconceived purpose; sometimes “celebrities” of that particular field are awarded while, there are others more deserving it.

The Nobel Prize is an annual, international award originating which given by Alfred Bernhard Nobel the peace prize was to go to “the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between peoples, for the abolition of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace conferences.”Nobel prize is given every year to some of the greatest minds in the world who through their work, help to better society such as physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature and for peace. Each prize consists of a medal, personal diploma, and a cash award. In my opinion, whoever got Nobel prize , they deserve it, because Nobel prize only give for the best who help to better society. There have been almost a hundred different Nobel prize winners in the past century. In 2009 Barack Obama, was awarded the Peace Prize about efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.I do not know who will deserve Nobel prize but I think a lot of people in the world that will deserve to get the Nobel prize, Because they did not show off their performance or outstanding achievements.

I think Nobel Prize is a good reward and recognition for people who tried really hard to achieve what they think is better for mankind. I would prefer to win a Nobel Prize for peace. Actually, I do not really read or watch a lot of Nobel Prize winners, and don’t really know who shouldn’t have won one. It's not my favorite subject to talk or read about. It is something that I’m not interested in a lot, the awards, ceremonies, winners and non winners. I think there should be a Nobel Prize for Mother’s Love and my Mom should have won it.

I think the Nobel Prize is good. The prize is given to someone or a group of people who have contributed greatly to the world. They have contributed most, if not all, of their life to solving problems that affect the world. Some people may or may not want to be publically acknowledged, but it can be good for everyone to see and know there are good people in this world that care more about the world then themselves. A soldier, who overcomes great fear on the battle field and places the lives of his or her fellow soldiers above his own, is usually acknowledged by a certificate or medal. In some rare cases it is the Medal of Honor (the nation’s great honor given a soldier). The Nobel Prize recognizes great contribution to the world in economics, physics, physiology or medicine, chemistry and literature. The Nobel Prize not only gives recognition to a great individual or group of people but, it shares with the world there are people in the world devoting their life to make this world a better place to live for us all. All of the categories for the Nobel Prize are equally great in making the world a better place for us all.

I think the Noble Prize is a good idea, because it gives award for people who do a lot of work. Some people work their whole life to get Nobel Prize. It makes people want to work hard try to get the Nobel Prize. If I work to win the Nobel Prize I want to the Nobel Prize in medicine. I would like that because I want to help people hat better and live longer. I want to discover something. I think everyone who received the Prize deserved it because they work hard for it. Without them something will not have been discovered. I believe there some people to do who should receive the Nobel Prize like Martin Luthar King, Rosa Parks. They work hard to change America and make it better. Today, it may be different if they did not do anything.

The Nobel Price is a great idea to show other people their appreciation for doing such a great job in either peace,chemistry,physics,literature, medicine,or economics.I would prefer to win the Nobel Prize for economics because the economy these days is very bad so people who try their best to make it good should be awarded the Nobel Prize.Their efforts and competition to make the economy better are very helpful to the world we are in today.The people who win the Nobel Prize for economics probably spend most of their time figuring out a way or solution to change the economy and make it better those people should be awarded for their work.I believe that Martin Luther King should have got the Nobel Prize for peace because he fought so hard to make all the people be equal.In conclusion,there are a lot of people who won the Nobel Prize and they should be respected of their effort and hard work they do.

Nobel Prize is an annual international award that is unique. People who receive Nobel Prizes are really smart and most likely deserve it for their outstanding achievements. I would prefer a Nobel Prize for medicine, because that would mean that I would’ve found something that would help cure people. For example a cure for some kind of cancer, that would be really cool. Or some medicine that would make sick people live longer in good conditions. In my opinion, I don’t think there are people who received an award that shouldn’t have. I believe that all those people did something marvelous and therefore they deserved a Nobel Prize. Scientists and physicians for example, they had to find something new, almost like inventing a brand new “object”, which would be hard to do for a regular person. I’m pretty sure that there are people out there who should’ve received an award for their achievements but never got a chance to. There is always some people who aren’t famous but they do a lot of great stuff for our planet.

I don't know a lot about the Nobel Prize, but I know that it's an award that people receive for doing something outstanding. These people have done or achieved something that is considered to be extraordinary. The Nobel prizes could be given to a person who has excelled in the field of physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, peace and economics. I would prefer to win a Nobel Prize in the field of peace. That's because this is what we need the most in today's world. We need to make our Earth more peaceful-- there is too much evil. Wars are raging between countries, terrorist attacks kill innocent people, wives and husbands kill each other and children go against their parents. Peace is important and I would be proud to win a prize for doing something to make this world a better place. I think that not everyone who deserves a Nobel prize, actually gets it. There are many people who do great things, but whose achievements are not acknowledged by the Nobel Prize society. But, also, everyone who got this prize deserved it.

I think it is a great idea to reward people for their contributions to humanity. I would like to get a Nobel Prize in Economics since this is my background but usually just people that are genius and have extraordinary ideas could get this prize. Nobel Prize in Economics is an award for outstanding contributions to the science of economics and is generally considered one of the most prestigious awards for that science. The Prize in Economics was established by Sweden's central bank, during 1968. Laureates in Economics are selected by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. It was first awarded during 1969 to the Dutch and Norwegian economists Jan Tinbergen and Ragnar Frisch for having developed and applied dynamic models for the analysis of economic processes.
