I know teachers who work hard to enter the particular moral worlds of students. A high school teacher recently told me about his efforts not to condone but to understand why a student he admired had brought a gun to school.
In biological classification, rank is the relative level of a group of organisms (a taxon) in a taxonomic hierarchy. Examples of taxonomic ranks are species, genus, family, order, class, phylum, kingdom, domain, etc. A given rank subsumes under it less general categories, that is, more specific descriptions of life forms.
Organisms in biology are classified by this system: kingdom, phylum, class, order, genus, species. Kingdoms being the largest groups. Species is the smallest major group before they divide into sub groups. So Genus would be the next group larger if that is what you mean, but all the other groups would be larger as well.
