 DEFINITION
The classification essay is written by organizing
different categories on the basis of a single
classification principle.
 Classification essays are mostly used to
categorize things in a logical useful way
 Classification essays are also used to make
things clearer and avoid confusion when different
set of things are explained without categorizing.
 WHAT IS CLASSIFICATION?

is a method of developing an essay by arranging

people, objects, or ideas with shared characteristics
into particular classes or groups.

 Three Steps to Effective Classification

1. Determine the categories
2. Classify by a single principle
3. Support equally each category with examples
 THESIS STATEMENT

 The thesis statement usually includes the

topic and how it is classified.

 Sometimes the categories are named.

Tells the reader how you will interpret the
significance of the subject matter under
discussion.
 COMMON CLASSIFICATION TRANSITIONS
WORDS

 The first kind, the second kind, the third kind

 The first type, the second type, the third type

 The first group, the second group, the third group

 PARTS OF THE CLASSIFICATIONS
ESSAY

 Introduction
 In your introduction, you may provide
some specific descriptive or informative
details to attract the interest of your
readers and suggest the purpose of the
essay.
 The basic part of the introduction is the
thesis statement.
 Be sure to include a thesis statement (usually at
the end of the introduction) that briefly identifies
the main types or approaches you are about to
examine.
The most important revolutionary, politician, human rights defense
who fought against apartheid, Nelson Mandela said: “To deny people
their human rights is to challenge their very humanity”. Human rights
were originated in response to the rape and injustices of human
dignity; besides these emerged as a product of historical struggles that
culminated in The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)
adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in December 1948.
Human Rights apply to all Human Beings Regardless of age, gender,
race, religion, ideas, nationality and each person has the same dignity
and no one can be excluded or discriminated against the enjoyment of
Their rights. The division of human rights into three generations was
first proposed by Karel Vasak at the International Institute of Human
Rights in Strasbourg. His division follows the principles of Liberty,
Equality and Fraternity of the French Revolution. The purpose of this
essay is to describe the three main human rights division because those
are the base of our society.
 Body Paragraphs
 Begin each body paragraph with a topic sentence
that identifies a particular type or approach.
Then go on to describe or illustrate each type
with specific details. Arrange your body
paragraphs in whatever order strikes you as
clear and logical.
 Just make sure that the order of your body
paragraphs matches the arrangement promised
in your thesis statement.
 In a body paragraph for this type of
essay you need to do the following:
 Introduce the category and explain it.
 Starting from body paragraph two,
show similarities, differences to a
previous category or either.
 Introduce examples of the categories.
 The first group is the first generation human rights, often called
"blue" rights, deal essentially with liberty and participation in
political life. They are fundamentally civil and political in nature:
They serve negatively to protect the individual from excesses of the
state. First-generation rights include, among other things, the right
to life, equality before the law, freedom of speech, the right to a fair
trial, freedom of religion and voting rights. The first generation of
human rights is based on the principles of individualism and non-
interference. This first generation of rights developed under a
strong mistrust of government and has since evolved into what are
now known as “civil” or political” rights.
 Secondly, there are second generation human rights. These
rights are sometimes referred to as "red" rights because they
impose upon the government the duty to respect and promote
and fulfill them, but this depends on the availability of resources.
The duty is imposed on the state because it controls its own
resources. Second Generation take also the name on Economic,
Social and Cultural Rights, and are called so because in the
course of history appear after the First Generation, as a result of
the struggles of the working class against the development of
industrial capitalism and aggressive. Secondary rights would
include a right to be employed in just and favorable condition,
rights to food, housing and health care, as well as social security
and unemployment benefits. Second-generation human rights
are related to equality and began to be recognized by
governments after World War II.
 Thirdly, the third generation or ‘solidarity rights’ remains
largely unofficial, just as the also-used moniker of "green"
rights, cover group and collective rights, which include,
inter alia, the right to development, the right to peace and
the right to a clean environment. The only third generation
right which so far has been given an official human rights
status (apart from the right to selfdetermination, which is
of longer standing) is the right to development. Third-
generation human rights are those rights that go beyond
the mere civil and social, as expressed in many progressive
documents of international law, including the
1972Stockholm Declaration of the United Nations
Conference on the Human Environment, the 1992 Rio
Declaration on Environment and Development. Here we
have Right to self-determination, Right to economic and
social development, Right to a healthy environment, Right
to natural resources, Right to participation in cultural
heritage, etc.
CONCLUDING PARAGRAPH
 The concluding paragraph gives you an
opportunity to draw together the various types
and approaches you have been examining.
 The conclusion is the summary of the analyzed
categories or the restatement of the thesis
statement.
 make sure that your conclusion clearly
emphasizes the purpose of your classification.
 Finally, the father of the Indian nation,
Mahatma Gandhi said “You must not lose faith
in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few
drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not
become dirty. Human Rights are clasificated by
generations; it doesn’t mean that one group is
more important than the other. All Human
Rights are important to all the people, those have
to be the base of our society if we want a better
word.
 RECOMENDATION

 As you develop and organize your draft,

experiment with various strategies, but keep this
basic format in mind: an introduction, three (or
more) body paragraphs and a conclusion that
draws your points together and makes the overall
purpose of the classification clear.
 Once you have defined the principle of
classification for yourself, make sure the
classification involves all group members.
