Hierarchy.. More Stuff


A hierarchy is an arrangement of items (objects, names, values, categories, etc.) The word derives from the Greek ἱεραρχία (hierarchia), from ἱεράρχης (hierarches), "president of sacred rites, high-priest" and that from ἱερός (hieros), "sacred" + ἄρχω (arkho), "to lead, to rule"[1][2]. The word can also refer to a series of such items so arranged. Items in a hierarchy are thought of typically as including or being "above," included by or being "below," or independent of (being "at the same level as") one another.[3][4] - Wikipedia



Examples of Hierarchy: - Family Tree
Business (Boss, manager, worker)
Churches (pope, priest, alter boy etc)
Royal Family (king, queen, prince etc)
Construction Team (Foreman, workers etc)
