Contemporary Social Policy
Social Darwinism is a socio-political theory that applies the concept of 'survival of the fittest' from Charles Darwin's theory of evolution to human societies. This idea suggests that social, economic, and political inequalities are natural and justified by the belief that stronger individuals or groups will prevail over weaker ones. It played a significant role in shaping attitudes toward social welfare and policies during the evolution of social welfare systems from colonial times to the Great Depression.
