Passage: Nobel Prizes are considered the most prestigious honor in their respective fields, and they generate significant public interest worldwide. Among them, the peace prize stands out tall — for speculations and controversies, for jubilation and heartbreaks, and debates and criticisms. The announcement of a Nobel Peace laureate is often followed by waves of disapproval and disputes. Closer scrutiny shows merit in such criticisms. Has the Nobel committee been influenced by politics, populism, or prejudice played a role in some of their decisions? Is the NoblePeace Prize relevant?

Arguments:

I.Yes, people receiving it become celebrities overnight.

II.Yes, it motivates people to perform exceptional work in establishing brotherhood among nations, and promotion of peace.

III.No, unlike the Nobel awards in other domains, where the criteria is defined in specific terms but here a lot is left to interpretation which results in controversies.
