These classify every living thing from Animals to Bacteria. Some of the classification system is written English

Biological vs Chemical Pest Control All living things strive to survive‚ but unfortunately the needs of other creatures sometimes conflict with our needs. An example of this conflict is the struggle between pests and humans. Pests are creatures that injure or kill plants or domestic animals‚ transmit disease‚ cause economic damage or are a nuisance in some other way. They eat our food crops or ornamental plants‚ infect plants that are useful to us‚ make us sick by transmitting infectious organisms

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). Even though now much of biological determinism has been disproven‚ there have been other arguments‚ such as nature vs. nurture‚ used in American literature. For example‚ racial determinism was used by many

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

In recent discussions of bio terrorism being the biggest threat on national security‚ a controversial issue is that nuclear bombs/ warfare is a bigger threat on national warfare. On one hand biological war can be more dangerous due to the terrorist attack could be hidden as a normal disease or a pandemic. On the other hand nuclear bombs could be a lot more dangerous because a bomb could wipe out an entire continent with one explosion. Or the radiation that comes off from the explosion. In summary
