Classification is a System of its own.

After reading the two articles, system of classification becomes more interesting and complicated. Classification has always been interesting because everything that exists right now is been classified with certain term to give a better understanding of particular substance or a living being. In the article “ Cabinet of Wonders” there were collection of rare substances and materials but didn’t have the classification because it was unique. So, a collection becomes unorganized for the fact it doesn’t have any classification and at some point it didn’t make sense. As time passed by, collectors with lot of research and study, started classifying those rare, and unique substances, which now has a greater value because of its classification.

Since the evolution of earth the system of classification was very vital. The Name given as “Earth” to our planet among the solar system is a example of classification. Who wonder the color black is classified as “Black” not “White” and sky is “blue” but not “yellow”. This are all the simple example of system of classification and its importance and I think it is very important to know the system of classification in order to have better understanding of our existences and environment that surround us.
