Nepotism or favouring of relatives and friends although unethical is quite common
in all areas of human interaction, particularly in business, entertainment, politics
and education.
Although no company or organisation will admit outright of nepotism floating
around their hallways, it happens in every field all over the world. It may occur
in the form of a company employing a relative of an executive or upper management
over people who are more qualified for the job, or a an organisation lending their
support to a political campaign due to some pre existing ties between them.
Another way this social injustice is spreading all over is in educational institutions
, where faculty and administrative personnel grants admission to people with
relations to the staff, or because their families donate a monetary sum to the
institution, in the form of a bribe. This takes away positions and seats away
from deserving employees and promising young students.
Corruption comes in different forms and nepotism is one of it's most subtle
and overpowering forms. Bribes accepted by people in power really reflect
how badly our society has fallen, it marks the destruction of a meritocracy
which should be the basis of admissions or employment. Of course if one
candidate or student has some other attractive quality like interpersonal
skills, creativity or just sheer charms and being a good conversationalist,
then they're selection irrespective of their academic or job skills is acceptable,
but to be selected because you're someone's son or daughter or nephew is
just plain wrong.
The problem with nepotism is even though only a few people in power have the
ability to use nepotism for their own gain, it's effects are widespread and affect
many people. Politics is another area in which nepotism and corruption in
general is prominent. Politicians accepting bribes and embezzling funds
from political campaigns has become all too common.
