Pada dasarnya jasad hidup (organisme) dapat dibedakan menjadi 2 kelompok besar yaitu
1. Jasad hidup selular
2. Jasad hidup non selular
Jasad hidup selular tersusun atas satuan (unit) yang berupa sel. Sel mempunyai komponen-komponen subselular dan organel yang terorganisasi dalam satu kesatuan yang padu. Beberapa contoh jasad hidup selular adalah bakteri, jamur, tumbuhan, hewan dan manusia.
Dalam hal tertentu batasan jasad hidup seringkali tidak diterapkan secara pasti, misalnya pada virus atau bacteriofag yang merupakan kelompok jasad hidup nonselular. Virus adalah parasit obligat sehingga menunukkan ciri-ciri kehidupan jika berada di dalam sistem biologis (jasad selular) yang sesuai.

Manusia dilahirkan dengan dua keterampilan, yakni : naluri dan intelektualitas. Makan, minum, berkelahi, merasa iri, cemburu adalah bagian dari naluri yang melindungi diri kita dari ancaman luar terhadap kehidupan pribadi maupun keluarga. 

Kita sering mengambil keputusan berdasarkan naluri, sama seperti tindak-tanduk binatang. 

Keputusan yang lebih baik dapat diambil, bila kita melihat sesuatu secara objektif dan dalam tanpa tekanan.



Jadi.......adalah penting untuk mengendalikan naluri.
