It’s always dramatic every year in October when the Nobel Prizes are announced. We get to witness the acknowledgement of some of humankind’s greatest minds in six field—literature, medicine, physics, chemistry, economics and activism for peace.
According to an economist from a university, international awards like the Nobel Prizes can encourage people in different fields to achieve more. Awards may also help establish standards of high quality. For example, if you’re having a hard decision to watch movies, one of them having an Oscar prize will probably help you to choose.
Sure, these awards can also have a debate. There was the Oscars So White movement(奥斯卡太白运动) in 2015 and 2016, when 20 white actors were nominated(提名) for two years in a row. There was also the Grammys So Male movement in January, when Alessia Cara was the only woman to win a solo Grammy(格莱美单人奖) this year. But still, these incidents brought the problems of racism and gender inequality into the public eye once more. These problems became more likely to be noticed and dealt with instead of being buried silently. Maybe people in the world need these awards to encourage hard-working person, but we also need fair decision. If there is no justice, we are going to have to say “No, thanks.”
