a proletariat revolution. Charles Darwin’s “Origin of Species” explains how variations in species occur and how species change over time to increase their biological fitness. Darwin describes the “struggle for existence”, how species compete for survival when more “individuals are produced than can possibly survive” (Darwin 2). Species compete against other species, their own species, and nature; the species most adapted to the surroundings are the species that reproduce and survive. Darwin…

better off. The difference between “The Hunger Games” and “Lord of the Flies” is that Katniss uses her archery, climbing and trapping skills to survive, whereas Ralph, Piggy and Simon in “Lord of the Flies” lack survival skills. While Katniss is alone in the woods, she she uses her survival skills to ensure that she has food for nourishment: “Before settling down, I take my wire and set two twitch-up snares in the brush. I know it’s risky to be setting traps, but food will go so fast out here”…

government or services, and security and independence are things of the past. The anthropologists say that for all intents and purposes, countries no longer exit and nationalities are finished; the only aim left is survival in whatever form possible. People are…

the modern human realm. This concept became known as social Darwinism. Social Darwinists, such as Herbert Spencer and William Graham Sumner argue that only the strongest, and most capable can succeed in society. Social Darwinism promotes “survival of the fittest”, and rejects government regulation of businesses. According to Sumner, “Persons who possess the necessary qualifications obtain great rewards. They ought to do so. It is foolish to rail at them,” and millionaires “are the product of…

One belief central to Judaism is that Elohim (God) designed the world and believe that human beings are Elohim’s creation.

The followers of Torah (i.e., jews) believe that…

Currently, the world is profoundly segregated on the issue of economic systems. Divided on the issue, people are supporting capitalism, socialism or a mix of both. In fact, there are no pure capitalist or socialist systems.

People who work so hard do not have the responsibility to pay others bills. That would only uphold further idleness and laziness to…
