SECTION 1
SOCIAL
The term social refers to a characteristic of living organisms
as applied to populations of humans and other animals.
It always refers to the interaction of organisms with other organisms
and to their collective co-existence, irrespective of whether they are
aware of it or not, and irrespective of whether the interaction is
voluntary or involuntary.

SECTION 2
DARWINISM
Darwinism designates a distinctive form of evolutionary explanation for
the history and diversity of life on earth. Its original formulation is
provided in the first edition of On the Origin of Species in 1859.
This entry first formulates ‘Darwin's Darwinism’ in
terms of five philosophically distinctive themes:
1. probability and chance,
2. the nature, power and scope of selection,
3. adaptation and teleology,
4. nominalism vs. essentialism about species
5. the tempo and mode of evolutionary change.
Both Darwin and his critics recognized that his approach to evolution
was distinctive on each of these topics, and it remains true that,
though Darwinism has developed in many ways unforeseen by Darwin, its
proponents and critics continue to differentiate it from other
approaches in evolutionary biology by focusing on these themes.

SOCIAL
DARWINISM
Social Darwinism is a modern name given to various theories of society
that emerged in the United Kingdom, North America, and Western Europe
in the 1870s, which claim to apply biological concepts of natural
selection and survival of the fittest to sociology and politics.
Economically, social Darwinists argue that the strong should see their
wealth and power increase while the weak should see their wealth and
power decrease. Different social Darwinists have differing views about
which groups of people are considered to be the strong and which groups
of people are considered to be the weak, and they also hold different
opinions about the precise mechanism that should be used to reward
strength and punish weakness. Many such views stress competition between
individuals in laissez-faire capitalism, while others are claimed to have
motivated ideas of eugenics, racism, imperialism, fascism, Nazism, and
struggle between national or racial groups.
The term social Darwinism gained widespread currency when used after 1944
by opponents of these earlier concepts. The majority of those who have been
categorised as social Darwinists, did not identify themselves by such a label.

WORKHOUSE
In England and Wales a workhouse, colloquially known as a spike,
was a place where those unable to support themselves were offered
accommodation and employment. The earliest known use of the term
dates from 1631, in an account by the mayor of Abingdon reporting
that "wee haue erected wthn our borough a workehouse to sett
poore people to worke".

WORKHOUSE
RULES
The purpose of the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834 was to reduce the
Poor Rates by discouraging the poor from applying for relief. The
main way of doing this was to end the system of outdoor relief and
make the poor enter workhouses where conditions were as harsh as
possible. The list of rules that follows is an example of the
severity of the regime to be found in workhouses.

THE CREAM
WILL RISE
TO THE TOP
In the figurative sense, cream is considered the more expensive,
more valuable, and therefore better of the two diary products.
So it is used as an expression meaning someone or something better
than the rest. So "Cream", or the better person or thing, shall
always eventually end up rising to the top and being acknowledged
as such.
