Your scheme is very good and there ...Hello Pablo, <br /><br />Your scheme is very good and there aren't many mistakes, but I think you could improve the content of your journal, especially the explanation of Social Darwinism: <br />the base of this theory is that societies and peoples are also submitted to the laws of nature and evolution and there are some societies that are superior to others/best fitted. If some societies are superior, this means that there are inferior societies and the survival of the best fitted and all they do is justified, because it’s a natural law. This also justified the improvement of “races” through the elimination of the least fitted, with eugenics or directly in the gas chambers, as the Nazis did later. <br /><br />You could also add the link to the post I wrote in 2013, just in case someone wants to read it. <br /><br />And these are my corrections: <br /><br /><br />We have started correcting what we had as homework which was looking for information about Social Darwinism. It was a theory based on on Darwinism which said that the most advanced countries were <b>better adapted because they were the best fitted</b> and the less developed countries were not. It was a basis for racism and eugenics. <br /><br /><br />This has caused a conversation about racism. Paqui has explained that different human <b>”races”</b> don't exist and that is a social creation. We have seen some cartoons about this and Michael Jackson's "Black or White" music video. Here you can watch it again:<br />Today has been the last lesson before the exam, so Paqui has explained some doubts we have. She has done a very useful scheme, I recommend you to use it. Here you have it:<br />Here you have three words from today's glossary:<br /><br />To seize: ocupar<br />Civilizing misión(s): misión civilizadora<br /><br />Bye!Paqui Pérez Fonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09825244803602259869noreply@blogger.com
