Social Darwinism goes with hobbes or Locke

Answer:  Hobbes

Explanation:

Personally, I think it a bit unfair to link Hobbes with the views of Herbert Spencer, who put forth the theory that became known as "Social Darwinism."  I would cite also an article by Peter Amato in <em>Minerva - An Internet Journal of Philosophy</em> (Vol. 6 2002).  But if the choice is between Hobbes and Locke, it's easier to make a "Social Darwinism" comparison or connection with the theories of Hobbes.

Thomas Hobbes published a famous work called <em>Leviathan </em>in 1651.  The title "Leviathan" comes from a biblical word for a great and mighty beast. Hobbes believed government is formed by people for the sake of their personal security and stability in society.  In Hobbes view, once the people put a king (or other leader in power), then that leader needs to have supreme power (like a great and mighty beast).    Hobbes' view of the natural state of human beings without a government held that people are too divided and too volatile as individuals -- everyone looking out for his own interests.  So for security and stability, authority and the power of the law needs to be in the hands of a powerful ruler like a king or queen.  And so people willingly enter a "social contract" in which they live under a government that provides stability and security for society.

The part of Hobbes that would have a similarity to Social Darwinism is that idea that humans by nature are each looking out for their own interest.  "Survival of the fittest" was the term that Herbert Spencer used in applying evolutionary theory to how human beings in society and different human societies function toward one another.  In "Progress: Its Law and Its Cause"( 1857), Herbert Spencer wrote:  "The advance from the simple to the complex, through a process of successive differentiations ... is seen in the evolution of Humanity, whether contemplated in the civilized individual, or in the aggregation of races; it is seen in the evolution of Society in respect both of its political and economical organization."  In his book, <em>Principles of Biology </em>(1864), Spencer stated even more fully the idea of humans being in competition with each other by nature, with the strongest forms surviving.  He wrote:  "This survival of the fittest, which I have here sought to express in mechanical terms, is that which Mr. Darwin has called 'natural selection', or the preservation of favored races in the struggle for life."

The academic study shows that men and women encounter different conversational climates.

<h3>What is Climate Conversation?</h3>
  • Relationship social tone is determined by the conversation climate. It is the way individuals communicate with one another inside relationships.
  • Every partnership has a unique environment for communication. In fact, social tone identifies and defines relationships such as love, friendship, and family.
  • Positive or poor communication climates are both modifiable. It's critical to comprehend them because of this.
  • A pleasant communication environment, in other words, is one where the participants feel appreciated.
  • Positive communication messages, according to researchers, create a positive communication climate.
  • People feel valued when there is a positive communication environment because they believe that others like, respect, and value them.

Hence, men and women have different conversational climates, as evidenced by the academic study that revealed individuals interrupted female speakers more frequently than male speakers, despite the fact that all the speakers had been trained to essentially say the same thing.
