Types of gradualism

Which types of gradualism? Gradualism can occur in biology, as well as in cultural systems. Creating a link between these two will help to better understand gradualism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doherty.76 (talk • contribs) 16:11, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Origin of land forms (chevrons)

There also appears to be a 19th to early 20th century conflict in geology over the origin of land forms between gradualism (I believe it went by this name at some point) and catastrophism (land forms created by catastrophic processes). It developed into a conflict between scientific and certain extreme religious viewpoints (see flood geology for a creationist version of a catastrophic theory). - 169.237.30.23 16:51, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Gradualism in social change

Lately an addition deviously begins as follows:

"Gradualism can also refer to a slow and gradual deterioration of society which appears to restart every so often. Such as the Roman republic, starting out as a farming state, later becoming a large and corrupt empire that would even watch slaves fight to the death for entertainment. This as well was depicted in the Star Wars series, which was based in part on the Roman civilization's deterioration. It refers to a deterioration of the moral and political structure of a specific country or society. Such deterioration can even be seen in the United States today, where the constitution was originally based on John Locke's Social Contract, where we would hold the inalienable rights of Life, Liberty and Property, and the right to overthrow, reform and instate new..."

The passage reeks of a suspiciously current bias that should not be acceptable for the most agreeably inarguable definition of this term.

I´m moving a paragraph that was earlier on the phyletic gradualism article to this one, as it is more appropriated here (more explanation on the talk page of phyletic gradualism) --Extremophile 15:22, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Two separate articles on gradualism?

Should this be just one page? It might make more sense to separate it into two articles, one on biology annd geology, one on politics, society, ect.

Link to incrementalism

In the top of the article, it lists related scientific concepts, and links to the respective pages. Incrementalism is linked, but to the wrong page. The page it links to, titled "Incrementalism" as well, refers to other uses of the word, but not the scientific theory. Is there a page for this, or should it be added to the page, or should the link just be removed? If anyone wants to tell me their opinion, just message me on my talk page.
