What does the peace prize really mean? When I was growing up I thought it really meant working towards a better world by trying to promote ways of getting along with the rest of the countries on the planet, and upholding our own principles.It didn't mean going into other countries and causing more battles within their boundaries. These people are responsible for what goes on in their own areas, and if they don't like what their government is doing, then they should take care of their problems themselves, and not ask our citizens to sacrifice their lives and the welfare of their families.
