DISCUSSION ON “HOW SOCIAL DARWINISM SHAPED MANY AMERICANS’
ATTITUDE TOWARDS INEQUALITY”
INTRODUCTION
“Social Darwinism is the application of Darwin's biological theories to the social and
cultural realm” (Winlow, 2020).
CONTENT
. According to William Graham Sumner in his book, he referred to social darwinism as a
philosophy that is bothered on “survival of the fittest”—the notion that a group of people
happens to be leading in society because they are inherently superior. He reasoned that the
society must give regards to the fittest and anything less will be unfair to the law of nature and
liberty. He was referring to the American people who had just recovered from economic losses
and needed to acquire more powers to revitalize and turn into a leading nation in the world. He
tried to justify that Social inequality cannot be ruled out: that the course of natural variety acting
on diverse people in the masses would give rise to the survival of the fittest.
CONCLUSION
Last Name 2
Conclusively, this piece has the possibility of making people consider that the survival of
the fittest is a fair judgment: that one needs to be industrious and get the paramount device in
order to make it in life, and that this is the fairest way to improve the society.
