Hi, I've been wondering lately what proportion of people were for and against nepotism. Generally speaking, it is when familly members are favored for sought after jobs instead of people who would normally be more suited (more experienced, more hard working, more innovative, better salesperson etc.).
In the context of government, it is generally frowned upon in western countries (thus the advent of democracy in favor of monarchies). However, it seems that in the corporate world (within otherwise democratic societies), hiring family members is often accepted, including in banks and law firms, even though it can seem to be in the expense of otherwise competent individuals.
