Preferred term

social Darwinism  

Definition

  • Social Darwinism, which emerged in the mid-nineteenth century and grew to prominence in England and America, held that the individuals and communities that were the strongest and the fittest would survive and shape the future of the human species. Proponents argued that this social rule was not only biologically determined but also morally correct. [Source: Encyclopedia of U.S. Political History; Social Darwinism]
