Meritocracy

What is meritocrazy?

It is a social organization that grants the highest acknowledgement, status and awards to those who do things better and provide society with better results. 



Is it usual?


Meritocrazy is less usual than we could expect. 

Every person wants to achieve the highest acknowledgement, status and award for himself and his relatives, regardless if they deserve it or not. 

That means that we are not really interested in awarding those who really deserve it. Even more, we could think that these people is a threat to us, and we could consider sabotaging them and taking their deserved award. 



In which circumstances do we award those who do things better?



Nevertheless, there are circumstances where there is no other choice than awarding the best ones. 

We need to award and acknowledge the best ones when we have a hard competition with other organitzations or when our situation is really critically. In this situations, we eager to win the competition or to solve our critical problems. Only the best ones can help us. 


Football is highly meritocratic. You won't be in the best team unless you were the best


A clear example is professional football, where the bests have the best positions and get the highest ackowledgement and award. We will not find relatives of important people in any professional team squad (unless they really deserve). If you don't have the best, you will be defeated and your fans will leave you. A team without fans is pointless.
