Survival of the fittest

Yearning to be a respectable member of society, he experiences hatred by those he tries to deliver a graduation speech to. The struggle the young man goes through to present his speech exposes themes such as “survival of the fittest”, racism, and blindness. “Survival of the fittest” is one of the themes that takes center stage in “Battle Royal”. The story gives a glimpse of the kind of treatment often displayed on oppressed African-Americans at a point in time when Caucasians set the…

their ever changing environment or they will die, this is called natural selection. Natural selection is commonly described as survival of the fittest. Examples include moths and how pollution will affect their color, which allows them to change to match their environment. Meaning that only the moths with the most helpful traits will survive hence “survival of the fittest”. Natural selection is also a part of evolution, in the fact that it shows how only the species with the most useful traits…

thought she is keeping caring and graceful but, she has a dark side she must maintain the balance of power. There for there is no escape for the gazelle from that final bit from the mouths of their predators, the lion. To survival in nature is all about survival of the fittest, an example of this comes from on of my favorite movies Tremors 5 Bloodlines “ Every morning is Africa a gazelle wakes up, and he knows he has to run faster then the fastest lion, otherwise he is killed. Every morning a…

One of the many themes in "Call of the Wild" is that only the fittest will survive in the wild. Many come prepared to the Klondike like John Thornton, but countless come with little knowledge and are unprepared like Hal, Charles, and Mercedes. It was obvious that the "Terrible Trio" were unprepared for the Klondike. They had a sled that was overweight which carried a tent that was dragged behind and large amounts of clothing and pots. John Thornton on the other hand came prepared, he…

occurs under environmental pressures leading to speciation or changes within species. It favours the traits most adept to surviving in an environment’s conditions and weeds out those that are not through the four aspects of natural selection, survival of the fittest, reproduction, genetic variation, and over population, are affected by environmental changes. Different environmental pressures, the aspects of natural selection will be explored and supported by 2 examples within this…

Darwin’s theory of evolution and natural selection are concepts well known by most people. Evolution being a change in a population over time and natural selection essentially coming down to survival of the fittest and being a key mechanism of evolution. In the case of seahorses, rather the 54 species of marine fishes in the genus Hippocampus, the male and female seahorses have evolved a series of unusual adaptations for the purpose of increasing their overall fitness. A common misconception…

weakest overboard because they have the best chance. She said it is survival of the fittest. I then inserted our 5-member family into the scenario, of which she is the smallest. She still insisted she should be thrown over as the weakest. When asked why I shouldn’t voluntarily sacrifice myself for the benefit of my family. She replied, “the four strongest are needed to protect each other to give the group the best chance of survival.” I asked her what her…

reasoning behind this theory is because of evolution. In the beginning of the article, the author Dr. Sarah Jarvis says, “It's hard not to realize that men and women are different, and many of those differences arise from survival of the fittest.” This means that only the fittest would survive more than the ones who weren’t fit. Men were the fit ones because of their ability to adjust to climate temperatures faster than women. Men back when they were hunters and gatherers were constantly outside…

nearly all of his stories. He uses the brutality of beasts, i.e. dogs, the sadism of humans, albeit through a foil, the and the law of nature, in order to depict this savageness. In his stories he would use his ideas on nature to talk about, survival of the fittest, an idea that he took stock in after reading Charles Darwin in high…

creating a master race through forced euthanasia, although cruel, reflects ideas seen in Darwin’s theory. For example, the mentally ill and incurably sick patients could be seen as the weak portion of the human species. In order to promote the fittest of…
