nepotism and favoritism
Nepotism refers to the practice of favoring relatives or close friends, often in a professional setting, regardless of their qualifications or abilities. It involves granting them positions, privileges, or opportunities based on their personal connections rather than merit. Favoritism, on the other hand, is the preference shown towards someone over others, often due to personal bias or preference. This can occur in various contexts, including workplaces, schools, or social settings, where certain individuals are given preferential treatment, advantages, or opportunities based on subjective reasons rather than fair and objective criteria.
