Discussion
Discipline categories often appear due to popular interest as certain individuals have a shared desire to learn about similar aspects of the world, thus suggesting that disciplines aren't specifically defined by the structure of the world but also by social and cultural context. As a result, they are a way of organising information in terms of similar characteristics whilst taking in consideration spatial and temporal aspects, thus making it easier for individuals to learn about their subject of interest.

Classification and categorization is essential for the vast amount of information that we can find on various supports, whether in library books or on the internet, to be somewhat ordered, and they facilitate navigation across all these platforms. However, according to Borges, classifications are arbitrary and conjectural to an extent. Such lack of legitimacy can often cause societal problems and divisions, for exemple divides and fights between immigrants and residents.

Disciplinary classification is the art and science of shaping information, products and experiences to support usability and findability. However, classification is all arbitrary and conjectual spatial, temporal or spatial-temporal segmentation of the world. Thus the system of disciplinary categories can never be complete or mutually exclusive.--C lmy (discuss • contribs) 20:27, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
