POSSIBLE TOPICS Simply put, a writer needs to use classification whenever they have a large group of similar items that need to be sorted and/or analyzed. Think of the task as having a database full of items or information, and now you have to figure out what it all adds up to and means. Anytime somebody analyzes the stock market trends or poll numbers or summarizes an accounting ledger, they are doing a form of classification. Anybody who takes their cassettes, albums or CDs and organizes them according to some principle that makes sense to them is classifying/dividing.Business Analyze the people at a place of business that you are VERY familiar with. It may be where you work now, or have worked, or simply a business that you spend a lot of time at. You need to be very familiar with the people who work there and use the business as customers. For the essay, divide some group of people according to their characteristics: types of customers, types of supervisors, types of employees, etc. You need to make absolutely sure with this essay that you are discussing TYPES, not specific individuals. Use specific examples to explain the types and show us how they are different from each other, but don''t use specific names or anything that could make people upset. Again, remember that there needs to be an analysis of the divisions, a purpose. Okay, we have these five types of customers. So what? Be sure to indicate how these divisions help us better understand what these customers want, or why these different types of customers mean that we need more front counter help, or whatever you are arguing. There has to be a purpose.
