Meritocracy is 1/2 of the answer!

I believe in meritocracy due to the fact that i have been taught it m whole life. This research in the video is surprising though because it shows that confidence is part of scoring higher. The kids scored higher because they thought they were better and had a sense that they needed to prove it. The kids that thought they were lower in the food chain didn't have anything to look forward to because they were told they would fail and already put down in life. The after affect made the kids think that since they didn't have a future that they didn't have to work.
