I agree that they both are theories about evolution and that they both go along with the idea that everything being related and coming from ancestors. They were brought by two different scientists. Although they share a part of the name, Social Darwinism is an entirely different concept from Darwinism. Social Darwinism is the view that results from applying evolutionary concepts to groups of individuals in a social context. It is the idea that Darwin’s theory can be extended and applied to the social domain, as if competition by survival of the fittest is the proper mechanism for social development. When taken to an extreme, the end result is often discrimination against those members of society who are not in a position of power.

I agree that there was racism in that time and Darwin saw that they are different which caused him to have the idea of natural selection. He also influenced some people. Herbert Spencer (1820­1903) was thinking about ideas of evolution and progress before Charles Darwin published The Origin of Species (1859). Nonetheless, his ideas received a major boost from Darwin's theories and the general application of ideas such as "adaptation" and "survival of the fittest" to social thought is known as "Social Darwinism". It would be possible to argue that human evolution showed the benefits of cooperation and community. Spencer, and Social Darwinists after him took another view. He believed that society was evolving toward increasing freedom for individuals; and so held that government intervention, ought to be minimal in social and political life.

i agree with you. One example of Social Darwinism is the practice of eugenics, or the science of controlled reproduction for the purposes of changing the human race in accordance with some particular vision. The term was coined by Francis Galton, Darwin’s prolific cousin, and comes from a Greek word meaning “well born.” Social Darwinism says that only the organism that are fitted to the environment will survive and eugenics stated use of practices to improve the genetic composition of the human population. that means they believe people with certain disabilities should not reproduce that way the 'bad genes" were not pass in the population.

Darwinism is a scientific theory and Social Darwinism is an ethical theory. social Darwinism is a theory about competition for survival among human races and social classes. Darwinism is darwin's proposal for evolution of species: natural selection(survival of the fittest) and adaptation. Darwinism was Darwin's idea. The Social Darwinism theory was chiefly expounded by Herbert Spencer, whose ethical philosophies always held an elitist view and received a boost from the application of Darwinian ideas such as adaptation and natural selection.

I agree that Darwin's concepts contributed to eugenics. Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection and concept of the “struggle for existence,” presented in his On the Origin of Species in 1859, captivated the minds of biologists. But Darwin’s ideas also played to the dangerously receptive imaginations of certain members of Victorian society, who threw caution to the wind and hastily carried Darwinian ideals beyond the realm of basic science. Darwin, likely having realized the problems—scientific and social—arising from the study of natural selection in humans, remained decidedly focused on plants and animals, at least publicly. But his cousin Francis Galton, who by the 1860s was an established explorer and anthropologist, found the question of natural selection in humans an irresistible topic of study. So too did British philosopher Herbert Spencer, who coined the phrase “survival of the fittest” just five years after Darwin’s publication.Galton introduced his own controversial idea—the theory of eugenics—in 1883. At the time, Galton was probably thinking simply in terms of science, using his theory to describe selective breeding in humans as a means to improve the fitness of the human race. However, when his theory was united with Spencer’s socially inclined concept of survival, the result was social Darwinism, a gripping theory about competition for survival among human races and social classes.

Soical Darwinism is the theory about competition for survival among human races and social classes. Eugenics stated the use of practices to improve the genetic composition of the human population. That means they believe people with certain disabilities should not reproduce that way the 'bad genes" were not pass in the population.

In the 1800’s, there were some Supreme Court, in Dred Scott decision, rules that a slave is not a citizen. Financial crisis in Europe and U.S. There were a lot of slaves.

Darwin’s own abhorrence of slavery affected his thinking on the origins and unity of the human species. Darwin had provided a new resource for addressing the theologians’ problem of suffering. While there was a real sense in which Darwin’s theory put the attention to pain, struggle, cruelty and waste in the works of nature. Darwin thought that the slaves were not humans like him, he thought that they were animals. In his concept of natural selection and how the fittest survive, he thought how nature selects the traits and the fittest survive which means he used the slaves as an example because he thought that their nature selected their traits.

Charles influenced natural science. He gave the people the idea of struggle for existence and the survival of the fittest. He showed that in his “Origin of Species”. Natural selection has molded the genotype for millions of generations.. In evolutionary biology, theories are largely based on concepts such as competition, female choice, selection, succession and dominance. These biological concepts, and the theories based on them, cannot be reduced to the laws and theories of the physical sciences. Darwin himself never stated this idea plainly. My assertion of Darwin's importance to modern thought is the result of an analysis of Darwinian theory over the past century. During this period, a pronounced change in the methodology of biology took place. This transformation was not caused exclusively by Darwin, but it was greatly strengthened by developments in evolutionary biology. Observation, comparison and classification, as well as the testing of competing became the methods of evolutionary biology, outweighing experimentation.

Some people influenced Darwin’s concepts, like Charles Lamarck who also had the idea of organisms changing, but his idea was that of acquired traits that are passed on from generation to generation. For example, he explained the long necks of giraffes to have come about because they continually stretched their necks to get at the tree leaves. "Unlike Darwin, Lamarck held that evolution was a constant process of striving toward greater complexity and perfection. Even though this belief eventually gave way to Darwin's theory of natural selection acting on random variation, Lamarck is credited with helping put evolution on the map and with acknowledging that the environment plays a role in shaping the species that live in it." Uniformitarianism- Darwin studies Lydell's work and takes some ideas for his theories. Darwin's theory of Social Darwinism has influenced political, public health and social movements in Japan since the late 19th and early 20th century.
