B is not right because a strict social Darwinist would not agree with sanitation and housing regulations. They believe that if the government attempts to reform

During the 19th century, economic and social inequalities were at a peak. The Gilded Age yielded many inventions and advancements that led to extreme wealth and power, but it also led to poverty and despair. Both Sumner and George had theories of how poverty could have been eliminated, but their points were sometimes on opposite spectrums. This paper will discuss how some points were similar, but also very different in aspects to relieving poverty in the 19th century.
As seen through Progressivism, the corruptions of large industries were exposed to the Commonwealth. Progressivisms brought out a true change to how America began to function, and through this purification, the United States began to focus on one main objective: international affairs. As the U.S. began to take over weaker nations in a plan to extend its own power through a military force, imperialism began to spread. This meant that other nations, along with the U.S, began to demonstrate their immense powers, and America wanted to become prominently dominant. A principal justification for America’s imperialism was the policy of Social Darwinism. It stated that the powerful nations, such as America, was destined to help less powerful nations because we were a dominant force, and we must provide aid. Through this process, both self-interest and idealism were important driving forces in American foreign policy from 1895 to 1920. Starting in 1895, President William McKinley showed the aspect of self-interest through his actions. On the other hand, in 1913, President Woodrow Wilson used idealism.
Consider naturalism. Naturalism and theism are
One of the largest examples of laws and policies put in place that reflect the ideas of Social Darwinism would include the pre-existing condition policy that Health Insurance companies put in place that prevent people from obtaining health insurance. This policy states that someone who is born with/ recently finds out they have a disease will not be allowed to gain health insurance from that company because it is a pre-existing condition before they applied to health insurance. Some of the conditions included are some of the most common, as well as the most deadly, condition in the U.S., such as diabetes.
Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection, a scientific theory that supported the belief of evolution, was manipulated and applied to different areas of life, and thus it became the shaping force in European thought in the last half of the nineteenth century. Darwin, through observation of organisms, determined that a system of natural selection controlled the evolution of species. He found that the organisms that were most fit and assimilated to the environment would survive. They would also reproduce so that over time they would eventually dominate in numbers over the organisms with weaker characteristics. This new theory was radical and interesting to the scientific world but its effects reach far beyond this small institution of
6:18). We should not lie because the God don't lie. “God is love” (1 John 4:16), so we should “Love your neighbor as yourself” (Matt. 22:39). Furthermore, Ten Commandments are the Bible law that to prohibitions against idolatry, blasphemy, murder, theft, deception and adultery (Wikipedia, 2013). Taylor (1993), a naturalism, mentions that people know what is right and wrong "there are reasons for not stealing, there are reasons for not assaulting, and there are reasons for not lying. These things hurt people" is convention (formed by nature), it is not from God. William Craig (1993) argues that naturalist such as Taylor does not provide a basis for morality. "If naturalism is true, objective right and wrong does not exist." (William & Taylor, 1993). Craig believes that without God, there is no true right and wrong. If naturalism (Taylor) is right, then people cannot condemn crime or something immoral. “The decision to become a Mother Teresa rather than an Adolph Hitler is rather like the decision to go to McDonald’s rather than Burger King.” (Craig & Taylor, 1993) it is all your decision if there is no true right and wrong. Geisler (1999) stated “The principle of causality. Only being can cause being. Nothing does not exist, and only what exists can cause existence, since the very concept of “cause” implies an existing thing that has the power to effect another. From absolutely nothing comes absolutely nothing.” Therefore, most of objectivist argues
This picture depicts the idea behind social Darwinism. IT is a powerful society in which keeps the wealthy, and powerful and kicks out the minority, poor folks who are no longer able to survive in such a materialistic world.
In the wild, the slowest gazelle, or the one too stupid to run, gets eaten by lions. So that only the fastest, and smartest gazelles get to breed. This is the most basic idea of Darwinism. The idea that the smartest, strongest, fastest of a species lives, and the rest die. Theoretically allowing that species to improve and evolve incrementally, since only the best are breeding. At some point, humans said “Screw this,” and decided that we should do everything we can to keep everyone alive, regardless of how stupid, or useless they may be. We should assume that the idea stems from around the time the the idea of politics became widespread. Subsequently, politicians came up with the idea of taxes. The more idiots giving politicians their money,
