In his theory of natural selection, Darwin made the following observations: 1. The resources of an environment are limited. Creatures produce more offspring than can
possibly survive. Members of a species must compete for limited resources and for
survival.
2. No two members of a species are exactly alike. Each organism contains an individual
combination of inherited traits. Some traits are useful for survival other traits are not.
3. Organisms that have useful traits reprodřce in greater numbers. Their offspring inherit the
traits. Organisms with unfavorable traits
eventually die off. The fittest survive.
4. Nature selects different traits at different times. Varieties within a species gradually create
a new species.
The publication of this theory started a sensational controversy. Many writers applied Darwin's
theory to sociology. They developed a controversial theory called Social Darwinism. Many
people, from Karl Marx to Captain Mahan to Adolf Hitler, employed Social Darwinism in their
arguments. How can people with vastly different viewpoints use the same argument to defend
their views?
Read the following basic argument for Social Darwinism. Does it adhere to the principles of
Darwin's theory? Why or why not?

Iam told that hundreds if not thousands of these (armenians) were sent at once to the front ranks at the dardanelles, where death in a very short space of time is almost a certainty. the older men were then deported into the interior, while the women and children, when not carried off in an opposite direction, were left to shift for themselves as best they could. the terrible feature of this deportation up to date is that it has been carried out on such a basis as to render it practically impossible in thousands of cases that these families can ever again be reunited. not only wives and husbands, brothers and sisters, but even mothers and their little children have been dispersed in such a manner as to preclude practically all hope that they will ever see each other again. according to this excerpt, what does the author consider to be the worst part of the deportation during the armenian genocide?
