Social Darwinism is the idea of Darwinian evolution's survival of the fittest applied to society let those who know how to compete survive and those who don't know how to compete die. While this is IS Darwinian, it is not social; rather, it uses a questionable description of the animal kingdom as an excuse to apply the rules of the animal kingdom to human interactions. Ever call someone an animal? It was an insult, right? We use that to describe the most evil of humans, right? "Social Darwinism" makes that into a compliment.
The person is still evil, even if he's the one who survives.
It is often claimed by modern-day Darwinists that Darwin himself did not teach eugenics, but rather it is a perversion of his teachings, a pseudoscience that Darwin never even implied in his writings.Darwin did not argue for eugenics, ever. Not ever. You failed to note but blindly go on butchering Darwin quotes as if you have any idea what Darwin and his editors intended.
What was going on historically in Europe and America during this time? How could these concepts have possible influences on Darwin's work; or was it Darwin's concepts that had an influence on society's perceptions? Who were some of the science influences to Darwin and who did Darwin influence? Use your research to justify your case.
People were legally being used as slaves especially Africans.Charles Darwin affected society by stirring up new ideas and changing how people viewed Gods creation theory. A lot of the 'upper class' people found his theories immoral and scary as it forced them to rethink there view of themselves as divine creations. Society had a huge impact on Charles forcing him to hide his ideas for a long time due to the fear of rejection by society.The main impact Darwin had was on religion was that his ideas showed that the world was a lot older than people were prepared to believe. He showed that over time creatures had slowly evolved and changed including the human species. This was a very new and scary concept at the time. His theory literally opened up a new world.
