“The growth of large business is merely a survival of the fittest.” Social Darwinism: Philosophy OR Justification? “The growth of large business is merely a survival of the fittest.” -John D. Rockefeller

Charles Darwin 1859 published a book titled The Origin of Species Theory of Evolution Natural Selection. Struggle is normal. Some are superior. There are benefits when the unfit are eliminated.

1871 – English Philosopher who coins phrase “Social Darwinism” Herbert Spencer 1871 – English Philosopher who coins phrase “Social Darwinism”

What is Social Darwinism? Social Darwinism is: - individuals compete naturally. - the incompetent lose and the strong win. ie. “survival of the fittest”. Government must not interfere unless the unfit are stealing from the fit.

Government or No Government? Should the Government interfere with Business???? -By 1880 many Social Darwinists were saying “NO”?!?!? Others wanted the Government to get more involved in promoting Social Darwinism and Laissez-faire.

Social Darwinism and Business Natural Competition controls the economy. Government is not there to help people, but to support business. Big business can take over small business. Ruthless methods are OK.

Social Darwinism and Race Only the strong races can survive. Technology should be kept by races that create advancement. Justification for genocide.

America’s Reaction “Self-made man” concept built the country. “Rugged Individualism” is good. Wealth is the reward for hard work and ability. Failure is due to lack of ability and laziness.

Is this right? Do you agree? Then explain this……

The Social Darwinists Andrew Carnegie T. Roosevelt Sr. C. Vanderbilt

What comes of Social Darwinism? Philanthropy: using one’s fortune to further social progress. Focused efforts and energies on all individuals. Expands the gap between the rich and the poor.

Social Darwinism Good or Bad? Is this a practical theory? What are the benefits of weeding out the weak? What are the disadvantages of having the rich in control? Is there really a chance for poor people to get ahead?

THE END
