In what ways do progressives differ from people who believe in Social Darwinism?

Answer: The correct answer is : Social Darwinism is a theory that is based on the "survival of the fittest". People who had wealth, social status and property were considered fit. Social Darwinism shows the inequality in the natural process and speaks to the economic followers. They thought that the rich won a natural competition and owed nothing to the poor.

Progressives rely on initiatives to reform and update society. It is a political movement that rejects social Darwinism. Progressives believed that society's problems such as poverty, class differentiation, violence and racism could be treated by providing security, education and a good job. They thought that government could be a tool for change. Progressivism ended with the First World War
