I chose to focus on Karl Marks's conflict theory and Herbert Spencer's the theory of survival of the fittest, because they to me seem to be the exact same, worded in different ways but very similar. If you look at Social Darwinism its base ideals it pretty much states that if a person can't do well in an environment they are not well adapted to the environment and will die off. From a quick glance this looks just  like how people see nature if there is a species of animal it has to adapt or it will die off which in turn suggests that people haven't developed at all above the animal brain level, I however don't disagree but I don't agree I see how it is in effect today this is where Karl Marks and his conflict theory which in order for it to work there has to be some form of social hierarchy and for you to have a hierarchy you have to have some people who are not fit for the upper spots in the hierarchy so they have to adapt to the environment that they are in or they will never succeed and die out of the hierarchy. In his conflict theory he states that there is a constant battle between the higher up people and the lower class people you can relate that to nature and the food chain if you would like similar to Darwinism and how one has to adapt. I am saying that you can see the similarities and we can relate it back to nature and the wild but not totally we still have pieces of natures natural order in our society today just more refined and presented in a different manner.
