MERITOCRACY AND ITS DISCONTENTS IBD

Sinopsis

ENG: Meritocracy and Its Discontents investigates the wider social, political, religious, and economic dimensions of the Gaokao, ChinaâÇÖs national college entrance exam, as well as the complications that arise from its existence. Each year, some nine million high school seniors in China take the Gaokao, which determines college admission and provides a direct but difficult route to an urban lifestyle for ChinaâÇÖs hundreds of millions of rural residents. But with college graduates struggling to find good jobs, some are questioning the examâÇÖs legitimacy-and, by extension, the fairness of Chinese society. Chronicling the experiences of underprivileged youth, Zachary M. HowlettâÇÖs research illuminates how people remain captivated by the exam because they regard it as fateful—,an event both consequential and undetermined. He finds that the exam enables people both to rebel against the social hierarchy and to achieve recognition within it.RUS:áВ, с,в,о,е,й, к,н,и,г,е, З,а,к,а,р,и, Х,о,у,л,е,т,т, и,с,с,л,е,д,у,е,т, с,о,ц,и,а,л,ь,н,ы,е,, п,о,л,и,т,и,ч,е,с,к,и,е,, р,е,л,и,г,и,о,з,н,ы,е, и, э,к,о,н,о,м,и,ч,е,с,к,и,е, а,с,п,е,к,т,ы, г,а,о,к,а,о, —, г,о,с,у,д,а,р,с,т,в,е,н,н,о,г,о, в,с,т,у,п,и,т,е,л,ь,н,о,г,о, э,к,з,а,м,е,н,а, в, в,ы,с,ш,и,е, у,ч,е,б,н,ы,е, з,а,в,е,д,е,н,и,я, К,и,т,а,я,.
