DID YOU KNOW I AM SMARTER THAN YOU? Social Darwinism

Warm-Up - Primary Source Analysis 1) Do you agree with the following statement? Why/Why not? 2) What do you think this tells us about today’s lesson? “Truly, this earth is a trophy cup for the industrious man. And this rightly so, in the service of natural selection. He who does not possess the force to secure his Lebensraum (Kingdom) in this world, and, if necessary, to enlarge it, does not deserve to possess the necessities of life. He must step aside and allow stronger peoples to pass him by.” - Adolf Hitler

What is Social Darwinism? Philosophy based on Darwin (Herbert Spencer) “survival of the fittest through natural selection?” “fit” = white and living in US or Great Britain Social Darwinism + Laissez Faire

Turn and Talk – 1) What images do you see? 2) What is the artist trying to say?

What was Andrew Carnegie’s response? Gospel of Wealth taught that the rich should use their $$ to educate and aid the poor Used his money to establish colleges, museums, parks libraries and more.

Think – Pair - Share 1) Do you agree with Andrew Carnegie's argument about the wealthy using their money for the betterment of society? 2) Why or why not? 3) Think about Jacksonville and try to think of examples of the Gospel of Wealth at work.

Criticisms of Social Darwinism Are some people less capable? Some people believed the Gov’t should play a role in helping poor People began to start their own programs to help the poor

What were some of the new “Reform” Movements The Social Gospel called on Christians to help the poor YMCA /Salvation Army Reformers pushed for– medical care, English classes, and rec programs

2 Big Ones Settlement Houses and education Settlement Houses stem from the Social Gospel  Learn English / skills  Hull House most famous Compulsory (required) Education led to rise of public schools

Was Culture Changing Too? You bet, there was less romanticism Mark Twain and literature as populism More income = “going out culture” Sports (Baseball)

Twain Quotes Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first. A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read. Don't let schooling interfere with your education. It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
