Informative Essay: The Peace Prize
Merriam-Webster dictionary defines the Nobel Prize as any of various annual prizes (as in peace, literature, medicine) established by the will of Alfred Nobel for the encouragement of persons who work for the interests of humanity. The "Peace" prize differs from the others in the fact that it can be awarded to either an individual or a group. Another distinction is that while the others are awarded for achievements reached, the Peace prize can be given to those for their "current" efforts.

A few Nobel Peace Prize winners that everyone should recognize are those such as the Dali Lama, Mother Theresa, Martin Luther King Jr., and Nelson Mandela. How such historical, remarkable, icons share the Peace Prize with our 44th President of the United

The 85 people killed in the Chemical attacks was not evidence enough for Mr. Hinnrich? Oh, that's right, it was Russia, again...It seems that Russia is the most powerful Country in the World. They can launch Chemical attacks against Syria, making it look like it was themselves, they can fix our election, and find time to collude with our President.

Some Democrats and Liberals have also turned all of this back to allowing refugee's from Syria to hide out in Europe and the U.S., stating that if we really want to help we would not have an immigration ban in place, or try to.
Europe has seen extensively, as of late, how this is not a good idea. In fact, the day after Trump launched Tomahawks at Syria, another terrorist drove a stolen truck into a crowd of people. So the terrorist attacks on the U.S. are what needs to happen instead?

Maybe we should give the Nobel Peace Prize to Mr. Hinnrich as well. It seems it is now just handed out to whomever. If Obama holds the same regard as Mother Theresa and the Dali Lama, then why not Mr. Hinnrich?

    Upon comparing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Dalai Lama it becomes apparent that the two share many similar doctrines and beliefs. Although they come from two totally different backgrounds it seems as though their overall goals and dreams coincide. The most striking similarity is that both men advocated/advocate for peace and nonviolent solutions to problems. While they may have approached matters differently the goal was the same. Analyzing both men one begins to see that they are admired by so many people because of their philosophies.…

    Gene, the narrator of A Separate Peace, is full of concerns and insecurities. Gene is trying to define his character. In the beginning, he is very jealous of Finny; he wants to be just like Finny. In chapter 2, on page 25, Gene says, “It was hypnotism. I was beginning to see that Phineas could get away with anything. I couldn’t help envying him that a little, which was perfectly normal. There was no harm in envying even your best friend a little.” This shows that Gene is jealous of Finny and the fact that Finny can get away with anything that he does wrong. Gene is jealous of Finny because he was the best athlete in school. Gene says, “He had unconsciously invented a game which brought his own athletic gifts to their highest pitch” (39). This quote shows that Gene recognizes the athletic power and magnetic personality that makes people drawn to him. He is also jealous of him because Finny had a magnetic personality and so Gene acted like a partner.…

    In essence, a thing is characterized as an object having both physical and physiological components. As cliché as it seems, a picture has a thousand words. Although a person’s eyes tend to produce the same image over and over again, he or she will see things in a different perspective every time. In time, a person’s perspective on certain things will change overtime no matter how set in stone the status-quo is. Personal experiences play a large role in shaping someone’s outlook on things. In John Knowles’ novel, A Separate Peace, Gene states, “So the more things remain the same, the more they change after all” (Knowles 6). This quote is being used as much older and mature Gene returns to Devon and reflects upon his childhood at the school. Although Devon looks physically the same to Gene as it did 15 years ago, he comes to realization that his view of the school and the things inside of it have changed.…

    Many of them have believed that United States has a responsibility to come and reach out everyone's hand when they are in need for help. There is a chance that everyone who was aided by US, will never harm back in return, and simply give back US with gratefulness and happiness, instead. The reasoning is backed up as Berman said, "As US officials and refugees point out that [refugees' terrorism] has never happened in modern history. Not when US took tens of thousands of Vietnamese refugees in 1970s. Not even 125,000 Cuban "Marielitos" arrived by boat in 1980. And not in the desperate aftermath of more recent was in Bosnia, Somalia, or Rwanda," (Berman 16-19), in "Can Terrorists Infiltrate the Syrian Refugee Program?" In other words, Syrians are no different from other previous refugees, escaping from their worlds of torture and cruelty, and prayed for the safety and peace, just like Vietnamese and Cambodian refugees with their genocide situation in their homes from the past. The refugees does not want to cause any harm, simply because they understand what is like to be the victims from the harm that is caused by others. Americans should bring in the Syrian refugees in with open arms, with comfort and sense of security for them by accepting them for their differences such as the practice of religion, color, and so on. The Syrians will be forever thankful for the selfless actions Americans have done for them in the land where majority of Muslims are grateful for religious…
