Question of the Day #5 Due November 21, 7am (this is a 50 point homework question)

Please post your answer below and reply to at least 2 of your classmates, helping them out with a very complex ideas.

I have seen in your posts from the last two days. Most of you are understanding Marx's political theories and Darwinian theory of Natural Selection. From yesterday's post most of you understand the perversion of Darwinian theory in the form of Social Darwinism. Now pull the concepts of politics, genetics, and social change together into a field we call Economics. Europe had a moral compass that most followed, that did not make them "bad" people. They needed a justification to do what they did in places like China. Use what you researched about China and take the theory of Social Darwinism and combine the two. Do you see a justification for the acts that the Europeans did as a part of their Imperialist movements? Try to post an application of this Social Darwinism as it applies to Economics and Imperialism. If you see one of your classmates not "getting it," help them out with suggestions in your responses. These were our lectures for the week. By the way, those of you who saw Spangler as the key to this, you are getting more points. Well done!!
