Social Darwinism

Darwin 's natural selection theory is a scientific theory supporting evolution theory, applied and applied to living in various fields, became the power of European thought in the latter half of the 19th century. Observing the living things of Darwin, the natural selection system has decided to control the evolution of species. He discovered that the most suitable creatures survive the environment. As they also grow, they eventually will dominate creatures with weaker characteristics.

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.
