13. IN YOUR OWN WORDS explain the concept of Social Darwinism by changing the word "species" to "group of people" in the explanation of Darwinism above (So I want you to explain SOCIAL Darwinism, not just Darwinism). a. Also, point out how the aspect of "nature/natural" is a flaw in the argument for social darwinism. Although the aspect of “nature/natural" works for Darwinism, explain how it fails to work for the argument for Social Darwinism
