Classification

Classification is to arrange or order by classes or categorize. In our daily basis, people always classify in the society we live in nowadays, to maintain an organized mind and arrange or sort things with differentials. We often classify because of physical appearance, and its function.

 There are different types of classifying such as giving example of school; students often classify other pupils as popular, nerds, funny, etc… classifying is a powerful tool when it comes to remembering and also gives us basic information about the object that we have classified that had been obtained by classifying. Just by seeing which category it fits in, we can know its function instantly.

 Is classifying always useful in our life? It gives several benefits, makes our life less complicated but it also has negative aspects which affects the society or contribute to the point where the world is divided into different cultures, nationalities and religions. Overall, classification tends to create stereotypes for example; people with glasses are usually considered nerds or book worms. We classified people with glasses with the basic information received from the category and simplified it.

We classify everything as it is our natural human behavior and for example in my case would be when buying a game from a store, I classify them by genres such as action, shooting, etc… To conclude, classifying gives us huge benefits but it could also create huge conflicts when it comes to society.
