I;m conducting a research on the sub-human species known as social Darwinists?

Question

.
Now i'm convinced that these folks musn't really be human after all, despite what some might say.

How can anyone still pay attention to the theory of social darwinism in this day of age?

I need your help in understanding this one folks.

Thanks.

Darwin's theory of natural selection clearly saw each individual and species as being in a constant struggle for existence, with the best fitted prospering and less well suited tending to diminish in numbers, gradually leading to extinction.This was modified in such versions of "Social Darwinism" into the belief that throughout history it was the weak species and races that died out or were exterminated, with the White race regarded as the greatest race because it had an attitude of superiority and a will to conquer. The White man had conquered the savages in some places and in other places had simply wiped them out, as the Americans had done on their continent and the British had done in New Zealand and Australia.

intro to y'all

Answer 1

don't worry, lola:) keep hope alive, keep loving until it hurts, and keep believing in a better tomorrow where we do not hate and cause our own extinction. maybe it's not genetically, socially, or even biblically correct, but it's better than believing that peace isn't possible, that life isn't worth living, or that we are predestined to fail as a species in so many different ways just because of the opinions of so few. here's a hug *mmph*!

Answer 2

I think you mis-interpret what social Darwinists are saying

"This was modified in such versions of "Social Darwinism" into the belief that throughout history it was the weak species and races that died out or were exterminated" -- you are correct so far.
"with the White race regarded as the greatest race because it had an attitude of superiority and a will to conquer" -- This is plainly wrong and it CANNOT be what true social Darwinists hold to be true, simply because whites are now and ALWAYS were a minority race in the world as whole. This show that Whites are in fact WORSE adopted race as compared to Blacks and Chinese who VASTLY outnumber whites.

Answer 3

Your piece will be entirely subjective. There will be no objectivity in it. If you call social Darwinist a sub-species, then you are beginning with a prejudice. You might want to look up a book by Richard Hoftstatder on Social Darwinism.

Social Darwinism is in full bloom today and includes Christians as well as non-Christians. All it is basically is that the cream of the crop rises to the top.

With a prejudice like yours, however, I would not write th piece.

Answer 4

Hey, I don't believe in evolution either, but there ain't nothing wrong with those guys going to dances and meeting girls in my opinion, it beats sticking around the house in weekends

define: social darwinism

A philosophical application of Darwin's theory of natural selection; states that some races or peoples are more fit for survival than others and are therefore designed by nature to dominate inferior races

I don't like that theory, but it seems at least partially true that certain groups end up with power over others, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, or might is right.

In this way I don't see modern societies any more enlightened than those who lived thousands of years ago

Answer 5

If you call other humans sub-humans, you are a social darwinist yourself.
Social darwinism is wrong. The Bible teaches that the strong must protect the weak and the rich shall help the poor.

Answer 6

I feel you would have to be "brain dead" or in such denial to hold onto meaningless theories and believe in them. Life is so much richer and grander than "dog eat dog" or "only the strong survive" interpretations. Many ideas trying to make a complete theory are based on human characteristics that in time are being discovered and eradicated. This closes the door on false theories, whatever name they may have or popularity.

Answer 7

I thought the social darwinists had gone extinct. And I don't think you have to worry about many people taking the theory seriously. Most people in this day and age don't even take evolution seriously, let alone any social theories based on it. Sadly, your question is going to go over a lot of heads.

Answer 8

Muslims are neo darwinists, they think that by blowing everyone up they will create a new species

Answer 9

What, exactly, are you asking? Because your question does not make much sense.

Answer 10

why can't any one pay attention there may be some who believe them.
