The library has many books on the shelves, and the tracing of a particular book can be hectic if one is not familiar or new to the library (Proust, 2017). The reason as to why some people tend to take a lot of time in the library finding a particular book can be attributed to the inadequacy in the knowledge of the cataloging style used in the specific library. A person may have one specific book in mind and also knows the shelves to which the book may be found but maybe not familiar with the way the recording as well as coding techniques that are used in that particular library. It is, therefore, possible that the person who is not familiar with the coding may not have an easy time in tracing the book. A lot of time may be spent hovering around the shelves to no avail. It can also be possible that the person may be looking for the book using the author on the shelves while at the library the books may be categorized using the subjects. Such a case may make one spend a lot of time in searching for the text in the shelves, and thus it is advisable that a person should consult a librarian for assistance in locating a book of choice.
There exist various differences between the referencing style MLA and the APA (Styles, 2017). Among the notable differences include in the date, author’s name, capitalization, source page as well as in the in-text citation. For the MLA format, the date follows the publisher in the citation and is not in the parenthesis while in the APA, the date follows the author and is in the parentheses. The authors name in the MLA format is spelled out as full including the first and the last name, in the APA format, the author’s last name is spelled out and the first name is reduced to the author’s initials. In terms of capitalization, the MLA format have all major words in the title being capitalized and the title underlined. On the other side, the APA format have only the first word of the title, the subtitle and any other proper nouns like names capitalized and everything else is made in lower case. The source page in the MLA format is referred to as the ‘Work Cited’ while in the APA format it is referred to as the ‘References’. In the in-text citation, the MLA format uses the last name of the author and the page number while the APA format uses the last name and the date or year of publication. In addition, the MLA format does not use commas to separate the materials or p. pp. before the page numbers but in the APA, the commas are used if a page is mentioned such as p. and pp. An example to illustrate the differences is:
i. MLA format: Klaphake, Elizabeth. My Life as an English Professor. Bellevue, Nebraska: Bellevue University Press. 1999.
ii. APA format: Klaphake, E. (1999). My life as an English professor. Bellevue, Nebraska: Bellevue University Press.

Classification of Drugs and Incidence and Prevalence of Crime
Student’s name
Institutional affiliation
Classification is the act of arranging items into similar groups. Drug classifications categorize drugs according to categories. Classifying drugs according to chemical composition is helpful because drugs with the same chemical content have similar risks and impacts. Additionally, treatment is effective for drugs that have similar chemical compositions. Worth noting, despite having generalities, drugs that have the same chemical composition have different medical and legal implications. There are various drug classification systems. Drugs are classified according to chemical make-up, effect and legal definitions (Alamgir, 2017). Examples of drugs categorized according to chemical make-up include alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, cannabinoids, and barbiturates. Alcohol is one of the most used drugs across the world. In the United States, alcohol is legal to some extent. Alcohol has numerous effects on users. Alcohol severely impairs perception and judgment. It also lowers inhibition and creates feelings of euphoria. Forms of alcohol include liquor, wine, and beers. Opioids are made from opium of chemicals designed to mimic the drug. Opioids are some of the most addictive drugs and they pose a severe challenge in American society today. They function by acting on brain receptors and mimicking effects of neurotransmitters. Examples of opioids include fentanyl, heroine, and oxycodone. Benzodiazepines are highly addictive and are mostly used to treat sleep and psychiatric conditions. Cannabinoids include hashish and marijuana. They contain tetrahydrocannabinol which negatively impacts physical and mental functioning. Barbiturates function by slowing down the functioning of the central nervous system. Drugs classified according to effect include inhalants, stimulants, and hallucinogens. Stimulants such as cocaine increase performance and productivity. Hallucinogens affect a person’s perception of reality and inhalants are ingested through huffing or breathing them in. Examples of Drugs that are classified according to legal definitions include schedule I, schedule II, schedule III, schedule IV, and schedule V drugs. They are categorized according to legitimacy, risk of addiction, the potential of abuse, and medical use.
As regards crime, prevalence is the total number of incidents or cases that occur in a given population. In essence, the prevalence of crime has to do with the proportion of targets, households, or properties likely to be victimized if crime occurs in a given area. There are two types of prevalence in crime, namely point prevalence and period prevalence. Point prevalence of crime is the specific number of crime cases occurring at a particular point. On the other hand, period prevalence points to the number of people affected by the crime within a stipulated time period. On the other hand, incidence refers to the number of new cases of crime that occur within a specific time frame. Incidence of crime takes into account the time that the crime takes place. Prevalence is different from incidence as it considers both new and existing cases of the population at a specific time, while incidence is only limited to new cases (Sherman, 2020). Essentially, the relationship between prevalence and incidence of crime is that incidence factors the proportion of people affected by a given crime with a given period of time while prevalence only incorporates the people affected by the crime during a given time frame. The factor connecting crime incidence and prevalence is the length of time it takes for the crime to affect a person. Crime incidence is often a product of crime concentration and prevalence. It is the number of crimes recorded to have occurred in a given place and is expressed according to the rate per head of the area population.

Myers Briggs Analysis
Myers Briggs Analysis

Introduction
A person’s personality type plays a critical role in their communication and management style. It identifies how best this person interacts with their coworkers as well as interactions with people in their social circles. The personality type in this case is based on the Myers/Briggs analysis and is then compared with the communication and managements styles available to pinpoint on the ones that work best in this regard. The writer will detail their appropriate personality type, alongside the communication and management style identified. 83
Body
The writer found that there are three personality types that stand out following the Myers Briggs analysis. These are INFJ – the counselor, ISFJ – the protector, and ENFJ – the teacher. The first type identifies the creativity and dedication to helping others; the second type identifies compassion, care, and practicality of a person; and the third type identifies a person’s organization capabilities on top of being a humanitarian (Truity, 2020). The writer’s communication style, as can be identified from their experiences, is a combination of the passive-aggressive style and the assertive style. There is a balance of situations through which there might be a difficulty in communicating their feelings while there are times when they are clear in what they want, with the latter applicable in open communication environments and the former applicable in restrictive environments.
On this note, the writer uses the assertive communication style in their investment of time and resources into trying to help out others with their difficulties and to the best of their ability. They will forego having their needs met just to see the meeting of the needs of others. At the same time, they are motivated to lead others in having their goals met through strategic means. In this case, therefore, the writer applies a combination of affiliative and strategic management styles through delegation of work to help spread out the work for other goals to be met while they are happy to lend a hand when needed to do so (Sling Team, n.d.). As the protector, they combine passive-aggressive and assertive styles where the former is present when they feel that there is too much pressure placed on them to act as needed but with a lot of restrictions, resorting to subtle complaints (VIP, 2019). The latter is present when they consider the traditional way of doing things works right while trying to provide care for others, especially when they are in a sad state. As the counselor, the assertive style of communication comes in handy since they are able to hold the hands of those who require assistance in understanding situations as well as helping those who are in difficulty and in dire need. This is how the personality types identified shape and will shape the writer’s communication and management styles, when needing with others.
Conclusion
To summarize, the writer understands that the personality type is defining of the communication and management style that they practice. On this note, therefore, a protective, counseling, and teaching personality style works well with the combination of assertive and passive-aggressive communication styles, and the combination of affiliative and strategic management styles. This is dependent on the environment and situation in which the writer operates.
