Social Cycle Theory vs Social Evolutionism

[FrostKing]

Social Cycle Theory
- events and stages of society and history generally repeat themselves in cycles
- Indian Episteme (Inayatullah, 2002). This law states that while people in any society are all relatively similar, they have generally the same goals, desires and ambitions but differ in the way they go about achieving their goals


Social Evolutionism
- the notion that culture generally develops (or evolves) in a uniform and progressive manner. It was thought that most societies pass through the same series of stages, to arrive ultimately at a common end
- Social Darwinism quotes. "The law of compe ion may be sometimes hard for the individual, [but] it is best for the race , because it insures the survival of the fittest in every department." ... The law of survival of the fittest was not made by man, and it cannot be abrogated by man.
