A quick definition of favoritism:

Term: FAVORITISM

Definition: Favoritism is when someone is chosen or given special treatment not because they deserve it, but because of other reasons like being related to the person in charge or being friends with them. This is not fair and can be hurtful to others who are just as qualified or deserving. It is similar to nepotism and patronage, but different from discrimination which is when someone is treated unfairly because of their race, gender, or other personal characteristics.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Favoritism is when someone is given preference or chosen for a position or opportunity based on factors other than their merit or qualifications. This type of selection is often unfair and can be based on personal relationships or biases.

Examples:

  • A manager consistently gives the best shifts to their favorite employee, even though other employees are just as qualified.
  • A coach always chooses their child to play in important games, even if there are other players who are more skilled.

These examples illustrate how favoritism can lead to unfair treatment and opportunities being given to people who may not deserve them based on their abilities or qualifications. It can create a negative work or team environment and lead to resentment among those who are not favored.
