Is it okay to favour or discriminate against a person regardless of their performance?

Do I feel more comfortable when confronted with new situations for me than when I constantly have to do routine work?

Would I prefer to be given concrete instructions step by step, rather than if I were left to find out for myself what I have to do?

Do I need to understand a statement logically in order to consider it plausible?

Do I prefer to listen to other people than to speak for myself?
