Social Darwinism Created A Legitimate Theory
Do you believe that the basic concepts of Social Darwinism created a legitimate theory for explaining the social and economic rewards within our American society that certain individuals achieved during the gilded age of our past? Explain ….
Sure, I believe Social Darwinism created a legitimate theory during the gilded age, however Darwin’s theory “natural selection,” or ‘survival of the fittest”(not Darwin’s term, but same meaning) is based on a biological standpoint and should not be used on a moral guide in our society. Many wealthy people would use this term as a scapegoat for all the people that were suffering during their time. Social Darwinism certainly appealed to the rich, and many philosophers of their time. Although I may not agree
