Nepotism information

Nepotism is the act of granting an advantage, privilege, or position to relatives in an occupation or field. These fields may include but are not limited to: business, politics, academia, entertainment, sports, religion, and health care.^[1]^[2] The term originated with the assignment of nephews to important positions by Catholic popes and bishops.^[3]

Nepotism has been criticized since ancient history by several philosophers, including Aristotle, Valluvar, and Confucius, condemning it as both evil and unwise.^[4]
