Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Social Darwinists believed in the concept of the "survival of the fittest" and believed that certain races and nations were superior to others. They justified territorial aggrandizement and military buildup as necessary for survival and regarded racial and national conflict as a biological necessity. They undermined Enlightenment tradition by rejecting the concept of universal human rights and equality. Therefore, seeking humanitarian solutions to inequality is not consistent with the beliefs of Social Darwinists.
