TheNobel Prize is one of the most prestigious awards in the world. Every year, it is given to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to humanity in the fields of physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace. The award is named after Alfred Nobel, the Swedish chemist, engineer, and armaments manufacturer who invented dynamite.

The Nobel Prize is political in the sense that it is awarded by a committee of five people who are appointed by the Swedish government. The committee is not elected by the people. The prize is also political in the sense that it often recognizes people who have taken political positions. For example, the Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to people like Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, and the Dalai Lama.

However, there is a growing belief that the Nobel Prize is becoming political. This is because the committee that decides who receives the award is often influenced by political factors. For example, it has been suggested that the Nobel Prize in Literature is often awarded to writers who are critical of their own societies. This is seen as a way of rewarding them for their work, and also as a way of sending a message to their societies. 

There are also those who believe that the Nobel Prize is becoming too focused on promoting Western values. This is because a lot of the winners in recent years have been from Western countries. For example, the Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to individuals such as Barack Obama and Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. While there is nothing wrong with these individuals, some people feel that the prize is becoming too Western-centric.

Some people think that the Nobel Prize is too political. They say that the prize is often given to people who are friends of the Swedish government or who have done things that the Swedish government approves of. For example, some people think that Barack Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize because he is a friend of the Swedish government. Some people believe that the Nobel Prize is given to people who support the agendas of the Nobel Foundation or the Swedish Academy, which chooses the winners. Others believe that the award is given to people who are popular at the time, rather than those who have made a genuine contribution to their field.
