Sorry to say but you don't understand corruption, not all forms of corruption are illegal. Corruption is not defined by criminal jurisprudence. That is a circular logic.

Also, your appeal to nature in your original post is a totally bogus and fallacious argument.

Read this for starters, I can follow with further links if you want:

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/corruption/

You might want to search for "nepotism" in the page since it is a long entry of SEP on corruption.

Nope. You made the snarky remark about reading philosophy texts. So the onus is on you to prove nepotism of a PRIVATE individual or company (not government or publicly traded entity) is corruption. 😆

@bold, loads of maybees here. Maybe it's the truth, maybe it's not. Our choice what to believe and what not? What's wrong in that?

The point of the maybes is to highlight that the situation isn’t black and white like many think...I’ve seen many here equate decisions to hire nepo kids as a criminal offense 😂

Ummm... in US, corporations have paid millions in settlements bc hiring managers have hired someone bc they knew someone at the company and tabled people even if they were qualified.

There is even a case where Two South Indians discriminating again another South Indian bc he was of lower caste. Link: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-cisco-lawsuit-idUSKBN2423YE

It’s not a criminal but a civil case.

Like I said, in industries where there is quantitative assessments and pre requisites, that is what competence is decided by and u can form a civil case if ur denied opportunities despite meeting prerequisites

Who decides who is professionally competent in bollywood?

is there mark sheets, interviews ? Designed pre requisites? licensing that has to be acquired?
Or is it based on i “like” this actor and I’m going to hire him?

Nepotism is not the same as casteism/racism/sexism. Even if CISCO case was nepotism related (which it isn't), CISCO is publicly traded and answerable to government and stock holders. Mot BW production houses are privately held. They can hire only people of a certain ear shape if they so choose.

It is not a proof, these are arguments. Unless it is mathematics or logic, nothing can be proved in philosophy or science. Damn who am I arguing with here. That SEP entry is not about government or publicly traded entity. Nepotism is nepotism, the same arguments mentioned there apply to nepotism of a private company as long as there are other parties involved in that company. it may or may not be illegal. It doesn't have to publicly traded. But I see you are not interested in exploring the POV or accepting mistake rather want to change goal posts here to define a new term called "nepotism of a private individual".
