Social Darwinism Essential Questions: What phrase could be used to sum up Social Darwinism? “Survival of the Fittest” How does Darwin’s scientific theory apply to how society functions? People get left behind (poor and marginalized) People strive to attain the American Dream Seek wealth, status, jobs, education, materialism

Opposition to Social Darwinism Key Information/Observations: Large gap between the rich and the poor Upper class keeps the poor in their place by not allowing them to move up in society (low wages, exclusion, etc.) Competition a waste of time; people succeed through cooperation Government can regulate economy, cure poverty, and promote education more efficiently than competition

Opposition to Social Darwinism Essential Questions: What impact does Social Darwinism have on the poor and marginalized in our society? Leaves them behind, keeps them in their place Competition causes exclusion How did reform movements combat this theory? Charity Provided public education Housing Medical care YMCA and Salvation Army (social programs)

Gospel of Wealth Key Information/Observations: Rich use wealth to help the poor help themselves (invest is schools, hospitals, etc. Better than giving handouts Carnegie funded public libraries

Gospel of Wealth Essential Questions: Do you think Carnegie’s Gospel of Wealth is more sustainable than simply “giving handouts” to the poor? Why? Does the philanthropy of the wealthy still justify the amount of wealth and influence they have compared to the poor? Explain.

Realism: Paintings Key Information/Observations: Depicts American life Thomas Eakins Realistic style

Realism: Paintings Essential Questions: What do Eakins’ paintings depict? Everyday life, leisurely activities What do these depictions tell us about American life? What half of society is left out?
