The Theory of Natural Selection was first introduced by Charles Darwin. While on a voyage to the Galapagos Darwin observed how animals possess certain traits that allowed them “the best chance of survival”. The basic concept of natural selection is that the animals with traits considered advantageous are able to reproduce more offspring then animals that do not have these traits. The precepts of this theory are manifested by observing animals and their traits. In his book The Origin of Species Darwin

Here we have some highlights of how the natural selection works and some of the evolutionary forces that drive evolution: The natural selection operates in base of the difference between de reproductive successes of the individuals. The genes of the most successful individuals (the ones that reproduces more) appears more in the next generation. If an individual cannot survive it will not be able to reproduce. Because of that natural selection is NOT RANDOM and can act really quickly. (Charlat et

With reference to various examples‚ discuss how ‘natural’ disasters are socially constructed. While natural disasters such as floods‚ drought and hurricanes are commonly thought to occur due to environmental forces such as weather‚ climate and tectonic movements; a deeper investigation into the ‘disaster’ displays other contributing forces. Human factors have a large‚ if not equal‚ contribution to the occurrance and outcome of such disasters (Pelling‚ 2001). As Pelling (2001) argues‚ there is

Explain Finnis’ Natural Law Theory (30 marks) John Finnis‚ an Australian legal philosopher has tried to resurrect the natural law tradition in moral philosophy and law since the mid-1960s. He tries to offer a "neo-Aquinian" natural law philosophy which does not presuppose a divine being. By focusing attention on goods rather than a single Good‚ Finnis skilfully articulates what he calls a theory of moral action for our day. Or‚ in other words‚ he seeks a theory of how to live well.
