[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In an ever changing diverse and fluid world, why are some fighting for rigidly and narrowly defined merit achievements? [b]What is a true achievement anyway?[/b] How can we differentiate talent from cogs in the machine?[/quote] In sports, it's usually pretty obvious - which is why sports are so popular. In academics, I'd say getting all the questions right on a hard math test shows merit -- I mean just look at the curve in the class scores. This can't be a serious question? [/quote] It is a serious question. In sports it’s clear, if you take performance enhancers it’s cheating. In school is nebulous. You take performance enhancers in the form of test prep and other services, and it’s considered hard work. [/quote]
