Award Michael Jackson a Nobel Peace Prize
At least for once he should be nominated. Even though he has passed he should receive the award at least in his name. Perhaps his family can accept the award in his place. Michael's contributions to charities were many. He spoke up for the misfortunate people all over the world and involved on several occassions in raising funds for them. His music and unique dance moves united the billions of people on a global level with so much respect. For a long time the DOW Jones Industrial Average showed a negative number on the status of the stock market. Now since Michael's death the DOW has been on the positive side which is better for the economy because all things related to him are selling. His positive impact to the economy is another reason why he should be awarded. Despite the pain and suffering he had to endure throughout his trials he remained non combative, himself wanting to remain helpful to the world and contributed to numerous charities.
Not only was Michael Jackson a well-known person he qualifies for other reasons.
