Is Inclusivity and Social Justice Achievable When Society Clings to a "Survival of the Fittest" Mentality?

<p>Recently, someone from my past humorously joked about our supposed competition over things I did not see as competitive. This confused me because my focus has always been on supporting and uplifting others instead of competing. Ironically, while I was support and uplifting others, I often found myself in need of it, yet rarely received any. Those who grew close to me seemed more preoccupied with competing against me instead of offering support.</p> <p>I now regularly hear people say that they can&rsquo;t maintain friendships with those who don&rsquo;t grow at the same pace as them or they claim that it&rsquo;s impossible for someone they knew a decade ago to know who they are now. These comments seem to suggest that personal growth is more of a priority than mutual support. They also imply a disregard for those who may have struggled or have &quot;fallen through the cracks,&quot; reflecting a &#39;survival of the fittest&#39; mentality.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@peopleinsociety/is-inclusivity-and-social-justice-achievable-when-society-clings-to-a-survival-of-the-fittest-e77ba328e627"><strong>Learn More</strong></a></p>
