pashok25 [27]3 years ago

Social Darwinism is basically the same idea as Darwin's natural selection theory, except it pertains to humans. It states that we as humans in a social environment are subject to these same laws that animals are.

Darwin stated that in an competitive <em>natural </em> environment, animals must adapt to changing conditions in order to survive. Those who were more fit would survive, and those that were not, perished.

This same law affects us as humans in the same sense, only differing in the fact that we're competing in a social environment. Instead of thinking of animals, we have to think about businesses. Today, businesses and corporations constantly have to adapt to their environment in order to be the best. The better a business' competitive edge is, the more likely it is that they will stay in business for a very long time. Take Amazon for example, when it first started, no one thought it would go anywhere, but now, its ALL people use to shop online. You can't compete with them now since they're so big. They adapted to a changing environment, an environment that was shifting from physical shopping to online shopping. And now, we see the old stores who didn't adapt well (like Toys R Us) go out of business.

This happens all the time today, and not only with business, but with school. Students are probably the second most competitive group today, and must be the best in order to succeed.

andrezito [222]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You did not specify what war you are talking about. Trying to help you we are going to assume that you are talking about World War I.

In addition to fighting in the army, European colonies contributed to the war effort in that these colonies sent supplies and food to the war front in Europe.

European superpowers had colonies in Africa, India, and Asia, places where there were plenty of natural resources and raw materials that were much needed by European countries during World War I. Great Britain and France were the European countries that used most soldiers from their colonies after many white troops were killed on the battlefield.

user100 [1]
The correct answer is b. the family

The family was of extreme importance especially since the family name usually had a reputation that would pass on to children. If a family was not respected because someone did something bad, the grand-grand-grand children would still feel repercussions because of that.
