Modernism to Postmodernism Theatre
Social Darwinism is a socio-political theory that emerged in the late 19th century, applying Charles Darwin's ideas of natural selection and survival of the fittest to human societies. This theory suggested that social, political, and economic inequalities were a natural result of competition among individuals and groups, leading to the justification of imperialism, racism, and class hierarchies. It framed societal progress as a process where the strongest individuals or races would rise, while the weaker ones would fall, which had profound implications for social critique and Realism in theatre.
