Divide for meritocracy

To be honest I dont believe in this as to the article of the third grader where they were divided into two by blue eyes and brown eyes. That has nothing to do of being more talented than someone else its just the effort you put in that really counts. For example, people would think if you divide a class with blondes on one side and black hair on the other that the blondies will lose but if they worked harder they have as equal chances as anyone else. So meritocracy is not something that I believe just a theory that can be accurate in some cases. Now for the American Dream is what people always want like a dog, two loving children, and parents that are together. This is not easily achieve as this is just as well a meritocracy of people theories of how one should live their lives as normal.
