I am still unable to understand what Malala is doing and why is she so great. Of course she is way better than an average teenager but I just do not understand the whole hoopla, she is safe and warm far away from SWAT valley in UK, and get to rub shoulders with powerful people who are interested in photo-op. Her ability to attain access is great but is it Nobel Peace Prize worthy.

Nobel Peace Prize lost shine for me. I still think their pure sciences awards are the gold standard, on the border on economics and completely disappointed in the peace prize.



The Peace Prize has pretty much always been about trying to aid the efforts of a person or organization rather than a recognition of achievement.


Sounds like it needs to be renamed. It has a serious image problem as it is.


Someone tried to assassinate Malala and you're saying it's a knock against her that she's being kept safe?


You should ask same question for past Noble Peace Winners do :)
