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.
Higher classifications are used to group less-closely related organisms. Let's classify a human as an example of how to go through the steps. Classification, from least-related to most-related, runs through domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species.lassify any living organism. Start at the bottom of the phylogenetic tree (domain) and use the defining characteristics of each branch (kingdom, phylum...) to correctly identify and classify the organism up to the species level.
