Survival of the fittest

The people of Packingtown lived by “survival of the fittest” if you could not fend for yourself you were not going to live for long. People could not help themselves by stealing and cheating others out of things just to get what they wanted so that they could survive. This was the way people rationalized…

In The Time Machine the time traveler theories about the future human organisms evolving into two distinguishing forms, Morlocks and Elois. H.G Well’s theories are much similar to Charles Darwin’s idea of natural selection and evolution. Wells uses great description and details to help the reader grasp what he theorizes of the species for example: “(His flushed face reminded me of the more beautiful kind of consumptive—that hectic beauty of which we used to hear so much Wells18)”.This is just…

Society of American Indians: The Society of American Indians was a product of the Progressive Era—many Native Americans came together to form a group dedicated to reform of the treatment of Indians.

is my exegesis that this the Watergate Scandal started the downward spiral. “Do unto others as you will get them to do unto you” (Matt.7:12).

In a recent documentary entitled, Nixon: The Watergate Scandal; the possibilities of the trust of POW’s and the faith that the American people as a whole had in Nixon was suggested to have been compromised. As a result of this scandal…

themes, ideas, arguments that were presented in chapter 1 that has introduced the discipline of sociology to me are Social Darwinism, conflict theory, and Weberian theory. Social Darwinism is essentially the application of Charles Darwin’s “survival of the fittest” theory to society.

On a broader scale, however, this so-called survival can be anything from getting the week’s…
