TUPOCRACY 

Share definition Flag
Tupocracy: The word Tupocracy is generated from the Greek word 'Tupos' which means, an example to be imitated.

Tupocracy therefore is a system of government involving people who lead by positive example based on integrity, transparency, patriotism and godly character which is worthy of emulation by followers. Compared with democracy, Oligarchy, bureaucracy, monarchical system of governance where a character is often not the basis for governance and administration, tupocracy exercises its power more in an image reflection and imitation style of ruling. Tupocracy as a word was first mentioned in 2007 by Godwin Amaowoh

tyocracy

Share definition Flag
noun

is a belief that, tyranny is but only evil when its wrath is directed towards the innocent, but it is also good and just, when employed as a means for attaining a just end for the suffering of the innocent and the vanquished. Therefore, tyocracy maintains that the evil element in association with the concept of tyranny lies not in its inherent disposition. Hut rather it lies in the intent behind its application.
The idealistic principle behind the concept of tyocracy can best be defined by the pursuit for justice when numerous individuals who were found guilty of committing war crimes against the innocent during the second world war, were subsequently placed before the firing squad.

The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
