How did American economic principles and the ideas of social darwinists encourage the growth of big business

History

pashok25 [27]3 years ago
7 0

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.

What was Desiderius Erasmus position in the church
Trava [24]

Answer:

Desiderius was a Dutch philosopher and Christian scholar who is widely considered to have been one of the greatest scholars of the northern Renaissance.

Originally trained as a Catholic priest, Erasmus was an important figure in classical scholarship who wrote in a pure Latin style.

Among humanists he enjoyed the sobriquet "Prince of the Humanists", and has been called "the crowning glory of the Christian humanists".

Using humanist techniques for working on texts, he prepared important new Latin and Greek editions of the New Testament, which raised questions that would be influential in the Protestant Reformation and Catholic Counter-Reformation.

He also wrote On Free Will, In Praise of Folly, Handbook of a Christian Knight, On Civility in Children, Copia: Foundations of the Abundant Style, Julius Exclusus, and many other works.

Why did Macedonia conquer Greece?
yarga [219]
They conquered Greece, because at the time Macedonia was ruled by Alexander the Great (and before him his father) who became a major figure in history as he has conquered vast areas from Greece to modern day parts of middle East and even Asia. 

Because Alexander had a strong military background and was able to conquer Greece (which was only the start) with relative ease, he further expanded his empire during his lifetime. He did all of this at a relatively young age because he died at the age of around 35 or so.
