Select the bold phrases that represent accurate statements about Herbert Spencer's contributions to sociology. Herbert Spencer drew up a list of what he called "first principles." Near the top of the list was the notion of structural functionalism, the idea that all parts of society are related to the whole. Spencer also coined the phrase "survival of the fittest," and his social philosophy is sometimes known as social Darwinism.
