Social Darwinism, term coined in the late 19th century to describe the idea that humans, like animals and plants, compete in a struggle for existence in which natural selection results in survival of the fittest.
Social Darwinism is a belief that individuals or groups within a society will compete with each other and that the strongest or most capable will thrive, while the weak will be left behind. It is often used to justify policies and practices that promote competition and individual success over collective well-being.
