Question

herbert spencer used the concept of social darwinism to defend the evolution of the human species and the will to survive. the rise of poverty and the mortality rates of less fortunate people. the concepts of philanthropy and generous giving. the need for immigration and equality between the classes.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Herbert Spencer applied Darwin's ideas of natural - selection to society. He saw the rise of poverty and high mortality rates among the less fortunate as a natural part of social evolution, similar to how nature selects the fittest in the biological world. He did not support philanthropy as it went against the 'survival of the fittest' in a social context. He was not focused on human species evolution in the biological sense in his social - Darwinist views, nor did he advocate for immigration and class equality.

Answer:

the rise of poverty and the mortality rates of less fortunate people.
