COMPARE AND
CONTRAST
Compare refers to the method of distinguishing
the likenesses and contrasts between two
things. On the other hand, Contrast alludes to
identifying as it were the contrasts between
two things. Whereas the qualification between
these two terms may show up on the surface to
be very subtle, it is vital that students can
precisely differentiate between the two
concepts to ensure they are able to reply
questions and prompts accurately.
The ability to compare and differentiate is
one of the primary higher-order abilities
students are introduced to. And it is no
wonder, as the ability to classify and
compare things in terms of their contrasts
and likenesses compares to some of
cognitive advancement. Without the
capacity to bunch things successfully in
terms of their similarities and differences,
much of what we consider as ‘learning’
would be incomprehensible.
The key to a good text for comparison and
contrast is to choose two or more subjects
which interact in a meaningful manner. The
aim of conducting the comparison or
contrast is to highlight subtle differences or
surprising similarities rather than state the
obvious. For example, if you chose to
concentrate on opposing two topics, you
wouldn't choose apples and oranges; instead,
you would prefer to compare and contrast
two types of oranges or two types of apples
to illustrate subtle differences.
It's also an evaluative tool to compare and
contrast. To make accurate assessments
about a given topic, you first need to know
the critical points of similarity and
difference. Comparing and contrasting is a
key method for many comparisons of
workplaces. You likely compared yourself to
other colleagues and contrasted with them.
Using comparison and contrast, employee
advances, pay raises, hiring, and firing
typically take place. Comparison and
contrast could be used to assess individuals,
departments or companies.
