Last 18 killed former Korean President Kim Dae-Jung, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2000, for trying to make peace with the leader of the North. A man respected in the context of a dictatorship, for its struggle for democracy. It is a prototype of people who have worked to improve the world, the intention that led to Alfred Nobel instituted in 1895 to leave in his will, the awards that bear his name.
Since then for many men and women here have jumped on the stage of his native Sweden, to pick up this distinction, for his work for peace, to establish a foundation for a decent economy, its literary works, for his discoveries in favor of an applied science that will advance our society, or similar
Nobel Prizes: One message
are famous people who have distinguished themselves in a special way. Men and women, from all parts of the world, and whose names we do not know, could also have been worthy of the condition to win the prize: to work to improve the world. He does a lot of people every day on foot, from which it is able to raise their neighbors to solve a problem that teaches community to recycle waste away doing it himself.
But they are only a few who do. And there is something that unites them, not just his previous work, but their dreams, their proposals, their desires, their intentions. I've been reading some of the speeches that have marked many of them. Almost always delegated to the social or political fighter, the poet or writer, but in many cases have also been economists who have spoken on behalf of a varied group.
A first idea comes to mind after reviewing some of his thoughts and proposals: teams collaborating in electoral propaganda in any self-respecting politician who wants to govern a part of the world, from as USA influential even in a country as poor as Mauritania, should be read three or four of these speeches, and from there to establish his electoral program and then implement it. sure other birds sing in our world and prevent all the world fall apart.
"The crux of the loneliness of our world is the lack of conventional means to render our lives believable" (García Márquez), so it is necessary, and almost all agree on this, in trying to make a world upside down. Alluding to this García Márquez (1982) recounted how he had seen hogs with navels on their backs, and a legless birds whose whose females laid eggs on the backs of the male.
When analyzing the global and regional situation tells us how the social and economic disasters that exist, are the work and fruit of human beings, like "looking for the fountain of eternal youth, the mythical Alvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca explored for eight years in northern Mexico, on an expedition whose members ate Veined each other and only got five of the 600 that launched "(García Márquez).
And in one way or another are always a social discourse which warn us of the great miseries of mankind - "Most people still born in countries with fewer resources (García Márquez) -. Proposals are reliable and if not done is because the interests of the powerful coerce the social market economy.
"We have proven time and again that microcredit work. Lend money to the poorest and 99% of the time I returned. While big banks collapse, micro-credit banks flourish "(Yunnus, 2006).
And in the background looks as if we we allow a system where everything is lost in the hands of speculators and opportunists, with indulgence, ignorance and naivete of they send (Yunnus, 2006). And is that solutions are possible because "all crises, including the Middle East can be resolved. A solution would require a contribution of the parties involved and the international community as a whole "(Martti Ahtisaari, 2008)
denounced as in regions like Latin America have not had a minute's rest and as in many parts standard pattern is the existence of missing persons because of the repression. Today continue to disappear through starvation food-organized-genocide on the African continent and the waters that unite these lands with the euro peas. And the existence of refugees fleeing their country seeking safety for their lives continues to grow.
García Márquez is the same who recalled in his speech that "the country that could do with all the exiles and forced emigrants of Latin America, would have a population larger than Norway." And Le Clezio (Literature, 2008) lamented the disappearance of indigenous cultures as one of the great tragedies of human history. It is the writers who think that "writing is not just sitting at your table yourself, you hear the noise of the world."
Another common thing are their requests. Coincide. Are on the same line: "The Europeans could help better if they reconsidered their way of seeing" (García Márquez). We recall the fundamental principle is that we are all basically the same, because we are all human beings (Dalai Lama, 1989).
"We must learn to live in harmony and peace with ourselves and nature" (Dalai Lama). Enter the environment as an objective to harmonize with the human being. "There is no consolation to those who lost loved ones in floods caused by senseless deforestation in a neighboring country." Make a call to accept that each of us and our people are needed for others. There is a mutual influence between the countries we are physically far from each other.
They claim the need to continue but without anger or revenge, because the enemies are also human beings and deserve compassion, with justice (Dalai Lama). Equality can only arise from a commitment to solidarity with the peoples, its people, nature and the environment. And it is essential "to avoid war.
Why war is going to homo economicus? We should try to understand the causes of war from all perspectives. Pure, basic science. That may eventually lead to peace. " The war economy is not working (Aumann and Schelling, Economics 2005). They believe that "through successive economic integration is not necessarily achieve an overall increase in welfare.
Winners of global trade are especially industrialized countries, whereas developing countries can take little advantage with the trend towards trade liberalization. This is true even within regions or countries where they occur in large urban industrial production more highly specialized again mark significant differences between winners and losers "(Paul Krugman 2008)
" We must create a stable financial front to be safe "(Muhammad Yunnus, 2006). "We can not focus, analyzing the problems of our society and provide only financial. It is necessary to take into account the food crisis, energy and the environment.
" Any task that is made from poetry to scientific research, must be an expression of how to live and be socially and politically, for "originality why we wholeheartedly support the literature is denied to us with all kinds of suspicions in our difficult attempts at social change? "(García Márquez).
Just the things that seem simple and insignificant, like poetry, are proof that the human remains. So peace also involves internal and personal development (Dalai Lama), because "in many places is given too much attention to external things and very little attention to internal development." Hence the importance of personal liberty, conscience, religion that basically is nothing but the discovery that no one is superior to another human being.
thing that unites them is not customize your award, in that they differ very much from political leaders. They consider that it belongs to them but to their land and its people, its people. And the honor of receiving the prize is a commitment to continue working on the same task, otherwise it would dashed hopes forever forgotten. No retirement possible, and the prize is not an annual payment after retirement. Another difference, and remarkable, with the political class. "It is a prize well worth my people for their courage and unfailing determination during the past forty years of foreign occupation."
Their calls are not only the ruling class, but community development, social responsibility, individual participation in community life.
Say, finally, that equals the Nobel Prize magnifies them one day, but do not pay attention. We do not vital wisdom. Contemplate only as a badge to be awarded. What are the powerful who can criticize them for it. We, however, "will last as long as space and as long as living beings remain, until then may I too remain to dispel the misery of the world" (Dalai Lama and thousands of thousands of anonymous like you and me in the world)
