Detailed explanation-1: -Social Darwinists believe in “survival of the fittest”-the idea that certain people become powerful in society because they are innately better. Social Darwinism has been used to justify imperialism, racism, eugenics and social inequality at various times over the past century and a half.
Detailed explanation-2: -Social Darwinism is a set of theories and societal practices that apply Darwin’s biological concepts of natural selection and survival of the fittest to sociology, economics, and politics.
Detailed explanation-3: -Some Social Darwinists concurred that the struggle for survival was natural and that war was an inevitable manifestation of man’s struggle, although the pro-war discourse was offset by those who favored pacifism or peace biology.
Detailed explanation-4: -Herbert Spencer (1820–1903) was an English philosopher who initiated a philosophy called ‘Social Darwinism’. He coined the term ‘survival of the fittest’ seven years before Darwin’s publication of his theory of natural history, The Origin of the Species in 1859.
