So my slags

haven't finished Harry Potter. Have been spending a lot of time with him in bed though. heeheee
been trying to avoid people's conversations if they look liek they may be Potter orientated.

started a new subject this semester called history and philosophy of science. mental. they asked us last week to come up with our own model of science, how we see it and how we think it should change as an entity. it makes me think. only chose it coz it doesn't have an exam at the end of semester. we were divided up into little groups today and asked to discuss a given topic. ours was Social Darwinism and the first wolrd war's impact on it. pity was...none of us knew what the hell this social darwinism was.

'A simpler racial attitude based on this "social Darwinism" is the belief that races need to be aggressive in order to survive. Darwin's theory of natural selection clearly saw each individual and species as being in a constant struggle for existence, with the best fitted prospering and less well suited tending to diminish in numbers, gradually leading to extinction. This was modified in such versions of "social Darwinism" into the belief that throughout history it was the weak species and races that died out or were exterminated, with the White race regarded as the greatest race because it had an attitude of superiority and a will to conquer. The White man had conquered the savages in some places and in other places had simply wiped them out, as the Americans had done on their continent and the British had done in New Zealand and Australia. It was the White race that deserved to survive from the viewpoint of "survival of the fittest".

its like Border Security, Surf Patrol, Police Files Unlocked and Bondi Rescue all rolled into one!
Brilliant!
