Social Darwinism: Evolution Of Animals And Businesses
Social Darwinism is the theories of evolution developed by Charles Darwin, which had an emphasis on the evolution of animals and plants. It is also associated with other evolutionary theories such as economics, politics, and sociology (Velasquez, 2011). Businesses used social Darwinism as an excuse for their development and payment, while smaller businesses lost money. Big organizations and companies grew into an even bigger organization, by buying each other out, creating monopolies, and reducing competition, which made prices go up. The social Darwinist belief stated that it was not required to help the poor, which contradicted American values, making people believe that social Darwinism was corrupt and businesses’ growth needed to be limited
(Velasquez, 2011). The forces of production, with Karl Marx, was the foundation of social order in the creation of economic goods, like what and how is manufactured, and how it is exchanged to decide the differences in individuals’ riches, power, and social position (Velasquez, 2011).
