Answer:

Darwin's theory is based on four observations:

  1. Members of a population of the same species vary in their traits.
  2. Traits can be inherited, or passed from parents to offspring.
  3. Populations are capable of producing more offspring than the environment can support.
  4. Due to a lack of food or other resources, many of the offspring do not survive.

Natural selection will only occur if all these points can be observed and followed.

Explanation:

According to Darwin, organisms that are better adapted to the environment have greater chances of survival than those less adapted, leaving a greater number of descendants. The best adapted organisms are therefore selected for that environment.

In the apology, socrates states that a good person does what he knows to be right despite?
Natasha2012 [34]

In the Apology, Socrates said that a good person does what he knows to be right despite negative personal consequences.

Socrates was a philosopher in Athens who questioned the prevailing beliefs of his time. Due to this, he was charged with impiety and corrupting the youth, and sentenced to death. The Apology contains his speech before he drank the hemlock.

Socrates argues that when considering a course of action, the solely important question is whether one would be acting justly or not. Justice trumps considerations of life and death.

He argued that since he was tasked to philosophize by none other than Apollo himself, he cannot abandon his post no more than a good soldier could abandon his post in battle.
