Social Darwinism and Western society

What social Darwinism actually mean?

Term social Darwinism means the theory, that only the strong persons are suitable for living in society, and the weak individuals would be removed, and this is the thing, what makes some people love this ideology. The Darwinism is visible in the business life because if the people would not buy merchandise from some company, that would cause the bankruptcy or as Darwin would say, the elimination from the environment.

But the thing is that this way to think is not suitable for humans. We cannot leave other people dying in the streets, is the western way to think. But that is not true in every place on Earth. There are still places, where people are dying in the streets. The idea of social Darwinism is in the most exacerbating the predestination ideology of some societies. The predestination means that if the person would be born in some social class, that means that the social position of that person have been preordered when that person has been born.

That kind of theories is very popular in the high-class Indians, whose position is very good compared to other people.  Hinduism justifies those people to rule the nation, what is the only thing that can be in the eyes of the high-class society. Leaders of the team would not see anything wrong that they would get better salaries than others, or they can say anything, what they want to others.

If we are thinking the leaders of the group, their children probably would like the situation, that only they are able to get the places in higher education and the leadership in the big corporations when they were born, and this is the thing that supported the absolute monarchy. Only the noblemen had the right to get an education because they had the right to rule the land, what came from the god.

Low-rank superiorities are also bosses

The modern military ranks are coming from the noblemen era. The lower rank personnel sometimes forget that they are in the superior position to their henchmen. That means they can order the henchmen to do anything, what they want. When we are thinking about the lower military ranks like lieutenants they might seem very low if we compare them to generals. But the fact is that those lower rank military men can order their henchmen to make every single job, what the superiorities would give them.

That means that for the henchmen those lower rank persons would not be so nice as you might think, and if you have seen the movies like  "Full metal jacket" you know what I mean.  And as you see, the people who have a good position in some society don't see anything wrong about the things that nobody would ever rise to the higher rank position from some environment. When we are thinking about the purity of society, we must realize, that the cases, where wealthy people are isolated from normal or poor people also isolate them from reality.

The isolation supports the prejudice

That means that some factory leader would not want to allow, that the family children would not talk with the people, who live in slums. This thing would cause that those children would get poison in their mind, that something can be changed. And the thing is that those people, who have the power on those societies are covered their position by the high-rank education, which means that they are wiser than others.

But if there is a problem with the cases, where those isolated leaders would discuss with other people. They always play something, what is above all other members of the society, and they are actually portrayed as the exhaustless leaders, and then happens the thing, where those persons would not find the simple solution. That can break the image of those people in the eyes of henchmen.
