Categories

I never realized that there was so much about categories, and how humans use categories on a daily basis until I read a section from the book Women, Fire, and Dangerous Things. In the section that I read the author discusses how there is no "correct" way to categorize (pg. 9). I knew that people categorized things differently, but I never really gave it any actual thought until I read that part. Now when I think about it, it is obvious that different people are going to categorize differently. The section that I read also discusses how categories were originally looked at are now being questioned and focused upon. In turn this puts into question many things, and already established ideas will be put into questioned (pg. 9). I never thought categorizing had so many connections to hymn thinking and human ideas.
