3. What does “meritocracy”
means? Discuss the quotes
○ "An understanding of racism as a system of advantage
presents a serious challenge to the notion of the United
States as a just society where rewards are based solely on
one's merits." Beverly Daniel Tatum, Harvard Educational
Review (Spring 1992, p. 6).
○ “Just work hard and you will succeed.”

4. Quotes reflection
These quotes and others like it represent the belief in
meritocracy, which is repeated and perpetuated in
our society by role models, friends, government,
media, and ourselves.
The myth of meritocracy is a part of the utopian belief
in the American Dream, which continues to be an
active narrative in Americans’ lives that many do not
realize is simply a dream and not based on reality.
How do we confront the meritocracy narrative and
better understand how it affects our work and our life?
