Detailed explanation-1: -The Social Gospel movement proposes that it is the duty of everyone in society to care for the less fortunate. It was based on the Christian principals of doing good works and helping the poor. Social Darwinism is an attempt to apply Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution to humans and races.
Detailed explanation-2: -The difference between these twocterms is that Darwinism is the theory of natural selection whereas social darwinism is the choice of which species of organism is the most fit.
Detailed explanation-3: -Some of the rich were philanthropists, but others justified their cruelty with a philosophy called Social Darwinism. If evolution favors the survival of the fittest, they argued, why should the strong help the weak to survive? The social gospel arose to combat this bleak landscape.
Detailed explanation-4: -Unlike Darwin, Spencer believed that people could genetically pass learned qualities, such as frugality and morality, on to their children. Spencer opposed any laws that helped workers, the poor, and those he deemed genetically weak.
