In Chapter 4 we talk a lot about the Civil Service Exam that citizens in China, Japan, and Korea were taking that sort of...identified where they could work in government. In many instances these tests were only open for those with a lineage that connected them with royalty. I think that in today's world we could all see a problem with that, whether it be nepotism or something similar. The question for this chapter, is to think critically about a pros and cons of this style of job identification. For a society that is building, what could be good about having Civil Service Exams? Consider the people, the economy, the politics behind it! Now, in your second paragraph compare that with the negatives. I think these are probably more obvious, but I hope this discussion gets you thinking about how we gauge testing here in our modern era, how some names may hold more water than others, etc. This is a chapter that I think crosses over well with our own history, and I hope you see it the same.
