The belief that people can rise as far as their talents will take them, no matter how humble their origins, is called Individualism.
This particular ideology considers that every person has the same potential to fulfill their own goals and desires. The individual is self-reliant and can achieve anything by his own merit and effort. It's a line of thought that has very <u>strong historical implications</u>, as it serves for the basis of liberalism and capitalism dominating our world to this day. This idea disregards all political, social and economic context, which in reality are all crucial factors when determining the actual possibilities each person has depending on what situation they're born into.
Hope this helps!
