a VERY short abstract of a journal i was reading for my sociology elective:"we create undue obstacles and misdirect efforts if we deny the important role of merit in contemporary allocation processes and imagine that ascriptive biases are fundamental causes of differential success and the intergenerational transmission of privilege. Our research shows that merit shows that merit generally trumps the advantages and disadvantages of birth."
do you see that ray of light after the tunnel now? i feel so motivated to work harder now! (albeit a rather late realization)
and as a after-thought, i just hadta say this: to those who cant deal with the little adversities in life and ceaselessly bemoan over their pathetic situation. Take that, suckerrrrs!!!!!!
