Biological Taxonomy has a hierarchy of seven main ranks; Kingdom‚ Phylum (Division if it is Botany)‚ Class‚ Order‚ Family‚ Genus and Species. These classify every living thing from Animals to Bacteria. Some of the classification system is written English

within the Enlightenment period of 1700-1800. During the Enlightenment‚ much value was placed on scientific reasoning and methodology. This gave way to the conception of biological determinism‚ that because of biological factors‚ a person does certain things and behaves a certain way (Burke).

and biological weapons. These weapons are constructed solely to kill mass populations in the quickest amount of time as possible. Their most startling aspect is the cruelty in which lives are extinguished and brutalized. However‚ these two weapons are latently different. The definition of a chemical weapon is a weapon that uses any amount of toxic properties or chemical substances and that is intended to kill as an act of war. Biological weapons‚ however‚ are defined as the use of biological toxins
