Nobel Peace Prize is a prestigious prize awarded every year to people or organizations that make efforts to
preserve peace in order to recognize and reward their work in service of peace. It is suggested by Alfred Nobel,
a Swedish scientist who invented the dynamite, perhaps because of the use of dynamite in wars that Nobel
regretted and wanted to serve peace after seeing the catastrophic consequences of serving war by his invention.
The winner of Nobel Peace Prize is chosen by Nobel Institute in Oslo, Norway on the 10 th of December each year.
After the official declaration of the winner, The Committee organizes a ceremony and presents the prize in the
presence of the king of Norway. The winner receives a diploma, a medal, and the prize amount. The first Nobel
Prize was won by Henry Dunant in 1901.
On October 9 th 2009, The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced that Mr. Barack Hussein Obama had won
the 2009 Nobel Prize for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between
people. Obama is the fourth U.S. president to be awarded this prize, and the first to be recognized in the first
year of his presidency. The declaration of Obama as winner came as a surprise to many, including Obama himself.

mother is a white woman from Kansas, United States. He is the 44 th president and the first African to settle in

Illinois. He began his run for the presidency two years before reaching the White House, after a close campaign in
the 2008 Democratic Party against Hillary Clinton, he defeated his adversary. In the 2008 presidential elections,

When I wake up each morning and read the newspaper, I ask myself, everyday, the same question:
“what is wrong with the world?”
The world today is richer than it has ever been before. With the help of science, we are now able to use
the wealth of our world to our maximum benefit. We are more educated than our ancestors ever dreamed of.
We have access to more knowledge. I ask myself everyday what, then, is wrong with our world? I can answer
that question with three words: it is sick.
It is sick with fear, instability and insecurity. Sick with tension and terrorism. Sick with power, greed and
even with its own richness. And because there is so much sickness in the world today, it is in a state of perpetual
war. Every day, as I read the news, I see nations at war with each other.
Of the 6 billion people who live in our planet, nearly three quarters are undernourished and one quarter is
overfed. Just look at the contrast. In some developed countries, they burn crops to keep up their prices,
whereas in poor countries thousands of children starve to death in the desert sun. In western countries, they
have mountains of butter melting to waste while in Asia and Latin America, a peasant often has to pay half a
day’s wage for cooking oil. In the rich countries, people die not of hunger but of over eating. Rich or poor, the
reality we see over the world is the same: the world is sick, it is at war.
But I am a dreamer. I hope that one day all the people of the world will work together rather than fight
each other. They will establish a firm and lasting peace which promotes the unity and brotherhood, based on
mutual respect, understanding, and acceptance of the other.

Read the text carefully then do the activities.

What is peace? People often say that peace is opposite of war. However, there are many other ways to
define peace. Some people say that peace means more than ‘no war’. Every year many people die in wars, but more
people are killed in many other ways.
Each year millions of children and poor people die because they do not have enough food. These hungry
people cannot afford to buy food they need. These people are not fighting in a war but they do not have peace in
their life either. Therefore, peace can also be the opposite of hunger.
Another cause of death for millions of people every year is disease. Many mortal diseases can be prevented
by clean water or cured by medicine. Few people die of dysentery in developed countries, but many people in poor
countries die of it and many other preventable diseases. So peace can also be the opposite of preventable diseases.
There are many wars between countries. However, people are also killed by people from their own country.
Whenever there are political or religious conflicts, which often results in riots, some people get killed. Therefore,
peace can be the opposite of lacking freedom in religious beliefs.
