hierarchies

Hierarchies in general knowledge refer to organized structures that categorize information based on levels of importance or specificity. Think of it like an inverted pyramid: at the broadest level, you have general topics (like science, history, or art), which can be subdivided into more specific areas (such as biology or ancient history), and further into even narrower subjects (like genetics or Roman emperors). This system helps us understand relationships between concepts, prioritize information, and facilitate learning by organizing knowledge in a way that is intuitive and accessible.
