Application of evolutionary ideas to societies – considers political, economic, or cultural conflicts as forms of competition that ultimately lead to the survival of the fittest. This view does not treat conflict as something exclusively negative; rather, it sees it as a mechanism of evolution and change. According to Darwin, conflicts can be a catalyst for adaptation, forcing individuals or societies to develop new strategies, strengthen internal cooperation to solve external problems, or invent new means of survival and progress. Thus, conflict is considered as a phenomenon that has not only a destructive, but also a constructive dimension.
