used as an excuse by “in” groups to maintain power at the expense of “out” groups. If local societies
did no more than this for many years to come, they would have fully justified their existence by their
valuable services. She was a poor student who frequently skipped classes and did not honor her part-

community could be declared as inferior or superior to others. Additionally, the Europeans also
fought against one another just to endorse their innate supremacy over others. It was the ideology of
“ social darwinism ” that promoted the practices of eugenics. The city governments of ancient Greek
and Roman civilizations also waged wars against one another and underwent heavy losses in men
and material in order to prove their intellectual, physical, financial and strategic superiority over
opponents; famous Trojan Wars, took place in ancient times, also depicted the same. It is particularly
the case with the religious leaders of these two faiths, which refute to embrace any latest
developments being made in the fields of science and technology, by declaring them as strictly
against the teachings of religion, though they become the most potential consumers of the same
product after its becoming an essential part of their culture. Her main ideology in supporting
Eugenics was to bring down the population of the inferior and less fortunate races. Most of her
employees were either sociologists or eugenics to ensure the continuity of the eugenics. In the 20th
century, the state and the society at large increasingly adopted a eugenic worldview, even though
none of it was based on proven scientific arguments. In one of her public speech in favor of the
eugenic movement, Sanger declared that birth control is the only way to reduce and eliminate
diseases in the society, make the jails free and empty the orphanages. She was forced to quit school
and help her ailing mother. To date, Planned Parenthood saves billions of dollars to the American
society (Grant G., 1988). The Marie Stopes is an organization that originated from the Eugenics and
is still viable to date offering its services worldwide. New York: Belvedere Publishers. Sanger, M.
(2003). The Pivot of Civilization. The same trends lasted for long and even the European countries,
during the Middle Ages and modern times as well, exercised astounding atrocities upon the Africans
provided the blacks were viewed as the inferior racial group, and were the descendants of the
disobedient son of Noah. To date most churches consider abortion as a sin while in some institutions
abortion is a crime. Goddard believed that morons presented a danger to society due to their inability
to mature beyond early adolescence. Ability I should place second on similar grounds, and character
third, though in real importance it stands first of all. Here a number of advocacy groups had gone
out of their way to repackage creationism which was seen to be explicitly religious in a format which
they claimed was more secular: Intelligent Design, a theory which held that the world is simply too
complicated to have occurred randomly without a directing hand. Using the testimony of people who
lived in the institutions as well as information from archives and former workers, Malacrida provides
insight into the “special hell” that institutions were for the people living there and how eugenics
guided this inhumane practice.
Arguments and criticism of social darwinism are confined solely as academic exercises. Goddard
believed that individuals with intellectual disabilities should be institutionalized, with men and
women in separate institutions. As a result, the Romans, Christians, Muslims and other nations
started looking down upon the Jewish community, as they used to deliver blasphemous comments
against the religious leaders of these faiths. To date most churches consider abortion as a sin while in
some institutions abortion is a crime. Gregory Pincus received an award from Planned Parenthood
for developing a pill used in birth control and officially approved, by US Drug and Food
Administration in 1960. The life cycle of the zooxanthella (Freudenthal 1962). However, this did not
go well for a long time when Planned Parenthood received report that women gave birth to abnormal
children after administration of thalidomide drug in 1956-1962. Lastly, men of an order of ability
which is now very rare, would become more frequent, because the level out of which they rose
would itself have risen. Eugenicists of this period were criticised for their focus on race and their
racist assumptions. Either of these normal curves can be transformed into the other, as is best
exemplified by using a Polygon (Fig. 8) instead of the Curve, consisting of a series of rectangles

Despite these skills, he had a strong political affiliation and did not differentiate his job from the
politics. During the time between the 1870s and the 1930s, a relationship had developed between
American eugenics experts and German scientists with the same goals. The genocide of the
Armenians at the hands of the Ottoman Turks during 1915-16, and holocaust exercised by the Nazi
Germany on the Jewish community also reflects the same. The maximum of attractiveness must lie
somewhere between the two, at a point not yet ascertained. (4) The harm due to continued
interbreeding has been considered, as I think, without sufficient warrant, to cause a presumed strong
natural and instinctive repugnance to the marriage of near kin. She only worked for two terms alone
and left the job. Eugenics is the selection of desired heritable characteristics to improve future
generations-typically in reference to humans. Profound socio-political changes brought about by
industrialisation, the First World War, and the Great Depression created the need to generate a
powerful sense of social cohesion and shared national identity. References Cox, V. (2005). Margaret
Sanger: Rebel for Women’s Rights. Thus, the rival communities tried to eliminate their opponents
from the face of earth in order to let only their in-group survive in the world. Domestic and

The first law of sterilization came in in 1907 and it aimed at the people in jail, rapists, and mentally
retarded people. Compound interest becomes built, as it were, into its habits and institutional
structure.” (1960, p. 11) Somehow, African states always remained backward and poor in all fields,
which endorse the claim of superiority made by the WASP time and again. A common conviction
that change in the established order of some particular codes of conduct would be impossible,
because of the shock that the idea of doing so gives to our present ideas, bears some resemblance to
the conviction of lovers that their present sentiments will endure for ever. Eugenics is a social
philosophy which advocates the improvement of human hereditary traits through various forms of
intervention.. Concepts in Eugenics. Eugenicists of this period were criticised for their focus on race
and their racist assumptions. It would, however, be possible so to alter the conditions of life that the
most prudent course for an X class person should lie exactly opposite to its present direction, for he
or she might find that there were advantages and not disadvantages in early marriage, and that the
most prudent course was to follow the natural instincts. The problem was taken to the Supreme
Court because it infringed amendments 4 and 5 of the Constitution. By adjusting Darwin's
description of fitness from the reproduction and survival of the human being to the transmission of a
person's genes, sociobiology can explain a broad range of human social behaviors. It is not contented
with such vague words as ' much' or ' little,' but endeavours to determine ' how much' or ' how little'
in precise and trustworthy figures. Concepts central to the old eugenics have not completely
disappeared: recent Chinese law, the Law on Maternal an d. What i s Eugenics?. the belief and
practice of improving the genetic quality of the human population. Her intense sexual desire and
motive led to the development of birth control and sterility in life. Consequently, the Europeans
promoted slavery by assaulting on the African people and turning them as their slaves. “Slavery was
the foundation of the southern colonies’ plantation system. Her characteristics concerning sexual
contacts led to the free love movement (Cox, 2005). He disagreed sharply with Social Darwinists
and eugenic proponents who claimed that advancement was purely a biological process of improving
gene pools, and who denied the importance of favorable economic and social environments. These
stages include the traditional society, the preconditions for take-off, the take-off, the drive to
maturity and the age of high mass-consumption. The Eugenics has had influence in the American
society for a century from all perspectives ranging from environmental, social, and cultural areas. She
is the founder of free love movements that advocated free sex without consequences. Her approach
was not biased in anyway in terms of race and gender (Kennedy, 1970). Sanger was concerned about
the increasing population and referred to calamities such as drought as means of wiping out the
competition. Lester Frank Ward While word supported Darwin’s evolutionary theory to some extent,
in the case of society he argued it was not a straight line progression to ever higher levels’ but rather
the path was filled with blind detours. (Leonard p. 42 ) However, in the log run through conflict,
resolution, compromise and co-operation higher social order was attained. So they established a
Jewish state under the title Israel, which would be the center of Jewish religious, political, social and
cultural activities; the same was the objective behind the creation of a Muslim state in south Asia

by God to teach and preach the humanity. While seriously flawed, the study attempted to establish a
genetic link between disability and immorality, criminality, alcoholism, poverty, and prostitution.
Great Britain, the United States and Germany were the countries most involved with eugenic
science in the first half. The State also provided family education and health care services.
General Motors came in as sponsors and supported the organization to continue with the campaign.
This is because of the role they play in producing and nurturing babies to the next generation. The

those to whom moderate sums are important, assured help in emergencies during the early years of
married life, healthy homes, the pressure of public opinion, honours, and above all the introduction
of motives of religious or quasi-religious character. New York: Gross man Publishers. Grant, G.
(1988). Grand Illusions: The Legacy of Planned Parenthood. According to Malthus, the western
civilization had minimum chances of survival if they continue to be physically unfit, spiritually
diseased, if they had no material wealth and if they continued to be racially discriminated and
accepted these demeaning conditions. It is therefore they had no right to survive and sustain in the
world. It is humility, piousness, compassion and chastity that earn respect and fame for the
individuals. Despite these skills, he had a strong political affiliation and did not differentiate his job

lovers, and so is public opinion. Either of these normal curves can be transformed into the other, as is
best exemplified by using a Polygon (Fig. 8) instead of the Curve, consisting of a series of rectangles
differing in height by the same amounts, but having widths respectively representative of the. We
should be better fitted to fulfil our vast imperial opportunities. The application of eugenics sought to
reverse this trend, although this was done more in the negative sense on lower classes through forced
segregation, sterilization and increased marriage restrictions. Human nature is such that we rarely find
our way by the pure light of reason, but while peering through spectacles furnished with coloured
and distorting glasses. She is the founder of Planned Parenthood and had an organization that
continues to advocate for abortion in US (Grant, 2001). However, the Supreme Court upheld the
sterilisation order by comparing it to being vaccinated. It gave birth to violence and bloodshed
between the nations, and every group strived to rule over the other with the superiority complex in
mind. Unlocking the Power of ChatGPT and AI in Testing - A Real-World Look, present.
Incorporating ideas from the medical, social, and natural sciences, eugenics blended opposing visions
of human improvement into a new form of scientific knowledge, based on theories of evolution and
heredity. The text, attributed to British-US physician Woods Hutchinson (1862-1930), refers to
research by the Carnegie Institution on the genetics of skin colour. But the stage on which human
action takes place is a superstructure into which emotion enters, we are guided on it less by
Certainties and by Probabilities than by Assurance to a greater or lesser degree. Planned Parenthood
By 1960, Planned Parenthood was a vocal factor for advocating for women’s rights. However, both
Israel and Pakistan are infamous blur on the face of civilized world, as both these nations have turned
out to be the symbol of religious intolerance and bigotry, which are producing the crop of extremists
and terrorists to destroy the peace and brotherhood of the nations at large. The customs of the
Hindoos, also of the Jews, especially in ancient times, bear this out. G is the lower middle class of

their start in a successful life to help of this kind must have struck every reader of biographies. It is
very difficult to rate character justly; the tenure of a position of trust is only a partial test of it,
though a good one so far as it goes. Most geneticists, except in China, rejected government
involvement in premarital testing or sterilization, but most also held a pessimistic view of persons
with genetic disabilities. In the name of future generations, eugenicists dissolved aspects of the
private sphere, scrutinising, and working to curtail reproductive, individual, gender, religious and
indigenous rights. With the rise of new genetic technologies,and the technical ability to change an

was one of the pioneers of Planned Parenthood organization that one of its mandates is to advocate
for abortion. Her intense sexual desire and motive led to the development of birth control and

did the Nazis owe to the worldwide eugenics movements. According to Charles Darwin, there is a
law of survival of the fittest and Margaret interpreted this Law rightly and brought it into human life
by advocating for abortion (Gray, 1979). To strengthen her motive, Sanger composed a birth control
league, which also contained members of the eugenics and sociologist in addition to radicals who
fought for human rights. Incorporating ideas from the medical, social, and natural sciences, eugenics
blended opposing visions of human improvement into a new form of scientific knowledge, based on
theories of evolution and heredity. It is mentioned that the theory of eugenics is based on the idea
that had good intentions with a wide number of very terrible results. Engelman, P. (2003). Foreword
to Margaret Sanger’s The Pivot of Civilization. I regret that I did not express the distinction that
ought to have been made between its two stages, that of slight inclination and that of falling
thoroughly into love, for it is the first of these rather than the second that I hope the popular feeling
of the future will successfully resist. It is believed that eugenics, as the science of racial hygiene,
arose in the Third Reich and that only in Nazi Germany eugenic researchers were held.
