Classification
The word 'Classification' comes from the word class and it refers to the division of living and non-living things on the predefined criterion. These criteria could be a shared quality such as all animals, plants, human, bacteria; germs etc. are classified as living things because they can be differentiated form a chair, a pen and a phone on the basis of the quality that they breathe. The classification can be on the difference in color, as in blacks and whites, difference in texture like smooth and rough materials, on the basis of sounds, weight (heavy machinery), nature like conductors and insulators etc. Classification is done after a distinguishing feature is picked and then according to that materials are put into groups or classes.
This term is especially important in the study of Science and then in Biology. However, we can use and do use classification in our day-to-day home chores, at our jobs and on outings. Garbage and useless items, this is also a class, are classified as paper, metals, breakables, plastics, recyclables and non-recyclables. These labels are often found on dustbins because these groups explain the exact way the materials should be disposed off. Children are put in groups in schools according to age levels. They are often divided into groups for activities, for participation in sports etc. according to their talents, skills, interests, abilities etc.

These gadgets are very efficient means of organizing our belongings. So, I have defined criteria for classification or grouping and then sorted through my songs to fit them into categories.
