JIMMY CARTER JR.

Hey buddies!! Here you have another article.
This time we have been working about Nobel Prize winners and the one I have chosen is Jimmy Carter Jr. Sure you know him. The reason because I have chosen this man is the same reason for he won the Nobel prize, for his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development.
Here I leave some information taken from the wikipedia:

James Earl "Jimmy" Carter, Jr.  is an American politician and member of the Democratic Party who served as the 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981. He was awarded the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize. He was born in October 1, 1924.
Carter, raised in rural Georgia, was a peanut farmer who served two terms as a Georgia State Senator and one as the Governor of Georgia, from 1971 to 1975. He was elected President in 1976.


Through his Carter Center, which was founded in 1982, Carter has undertaken very extensive and persevering conflict resolution on several continents. He has shown outstanding commitment to human rights, and has served as an observer at countless elections all over the world. He has fought against tropical diseases and to bring about growth and progress in developing countries.
Carter has stood by the principles that conflicts must as far as possible be resolved through mediation and international co-operation based on international law, respect for human rights, and economic development.

As you can see, this man has made a lot so that we can live in a better world.
 To finnish this, here I leave a video of our man giving a discourse.
