Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection and Social Darwinism

Everyone with a secondary scientific background has heard of Charles Darwin and its evolution theory. Darwin 's idea has been discussed by scientists, theologians, and the general public since the publication of the book "Origin of Nature - Selected Species" in 1859. Today there are still serious objections, but most scientific communities believe evolution is the fact, and Darwin's book is still one of the most influential books in history. The influence extends beyond biology and science.

19th century philosopher Herbert Spencer advocated the idea of ​​social Darwinism. Social Darwinism is to apply natural selection theory to social, political and economic problems. In its simplest form, social Darwinism follows the slogan of "strong survival" including human problems. This theory is destined to rule them as it was being used to promote the idea that Caucasian European races are better than other races. When Spencer began to promote social Darwinism, the technology, economics and government of "White Europe" improved compared to other cultures. Looking at this obvious advantage, as well as economic and military structure, some people think that natural selection is functioning, and races more suited for survival prevail. We claim that social welfare programs that support the poor and disadvantaged people are contrary to nature itself and even extend this idea to microeconomic problems.

Charles Darwin thought about the theory of social Darwinism. Social Darwinism is a view of Darwin's law that people follow the natural choices of plants and animals. Darwin did not develop his theory from understanding the fact. He understands well about natural selection and is writing a book on concepts. Therefore, his theory finally appeared to many people, once defended imperialism, racial discrimination, political conservatism. Darwin understood the concept and concept of natural selection and was recognized in his development theory. Therefore, it is more important to understand these ideas and concepts because understanding the facts can not make our actions successful.

To some extent, the term "survival of fittest" first proposed in Darwin's natural selection theory is a brief description of eugenics. Darwin and Alfred Wallace submitted a paper on the concept of natural selection in 1858. This concept has become the backbone of modern biology. Later Darwin published an influential book in 1859. "Origin of species by natural selection, or protection of dominant race in life struggle". Eugenics (/ juːdʒɛnɪks /; derived from Greek), "Born from Europe", "Good, Good", "Ethnicity, Stocks, Relatives" is a series of beliefs aimed at improving the genetic quality of the population and It is a custom. Broadly speaking, there are two types of eugenics: positive (encouraging breeding) and negative (encouraging discussion). It is not suitable for breeding)
