'''Nepotism''' is the act of showing favoritism on the basis of kinship.  For example, a [[business]] owner who hires his inexperienced and under-qualified son rather than a more qualified candidate is practicing nepotism. The word 'nepotism' comes from the [[Latin]] word for nephew, and originates with [[corruption|corrupt]] [[Pope]]s who often used to give sinecures to their 'nephews' (in reality, usually their illegitimate children).
