Meritocracy

Meritocracy does exist in our society today. People are intellegent based on how they take on a situation using their skills and abilities rather than wealth. You could be the poorest person in you neighborhood, but if you try hard enough you can accomplish so much. The video relates to this because in it, the children who were concidered superior performed the tasks better then those concidered inferior. I think the lower class children view them selves as low class, so they don't want to try harder because they assume it's always going to be the same; trying harder won't help.
