| Summary: | The dichotomy elite / non-elite has determined the segmentation of the romanian population in groups centered on competence, talent and excellence - at the qualitatively (positive) pole - on the one hand and vanity, fight for power, incompetence - at the opposite pole of the quality - on the other hand. The discrepancy between the two categories has led to the necessity of studying the causes that sustain each cluster. The separation of popular elite mass is an unquestionable cause of a form of aversion from the masses against the elite. Based on this harmful and so-called democratic attitude, the elite has became a suspect notion, with a pronounced negative connotation, marked by doubts. Considering the socio-political events occurring at global level, but especially in Europe in years 2015-2016, feels definitely a need for a ruling class with high moral character, coming from among the meritocratic elite. |
