👉 Meritocracy is a system in which individuals, organizations, or institutions are selected based on their ability to perform well and not solely on their social status, family connections, or other personal factors. It emphasizes the idea that individuals should be judged by their work and performance rather than their background or social standing. Meritocratic systems often involve a meritocracy committee, which selects individuals for positions based on their qualifications and skills, rather than just their social status.
