Since God created the world and all existing living beings. Man has seen the need to compare everything around him. And there is the difference that human reasoning has with animals. Man was endowed with intelligence to have the ability to analyze. Using his full focus on any number of items or just looking at two objects that have certain similarities. And so draw your own comparisons that will lead you to a proper conclusion. That is to say that the comparison is a method used by man to study two or more different objects. Indoles and thus draw certain similarities that differentiate it according to its reality.
Meaning.
It comes from the Latin language comparatio whose feminine name is based on the study carried out by the individual to draw a concrete analogy between two or more elements that are linked to each other, without altering their morphology according to their linguistics, their biology or their terrestrial surface.
In addition, the comparison helps to compare things or individuals subjectively, drawing differences or similarities between them, establishing basic processes whose standards are supported by reality.
Comparison types.
This analysis process varies according to the element to be processed, as long as said thing or individual have similar or differential features, among them we have:
Linguistic. There are comparisons that work with adverbs but adjectives are more common in this process. Since the qualities absorbed between two elements define their matter. Getting to have results that are positive, superlative and comparative.
Positive comparisons are those that define the quality of the element studied in such a way without adding anything; Example: Petronila is kind.
As for the superlative, it shows the attributes of the elements on a larger scale, dividing into two types of degrees:
Relative. Compare his attributes between animals, people or objects, differentiating them with a higher degree, for example: Pedro is more intelligent than his study partner.
Absolute. Its attributes are not compared with any element but it does maintain its high level expressed with the adjective (very). Example: The house is very decorated.
Other types of comparison
The comparative degree: its quality leads it to differentiate between two elements, whether they are animals, people or things, this in turn is divided into; superiority (More, well, than); inferiority (less, good, than) and equality (as, good, like).
- Simile. This is commonly used in epics and poems, being a literary resource that seeks to exaggerate the reality it presents. Example: The bread was so hard that it looks like a stone.
- In analogy. It uses reasoning as a basis to draw its conclusions, taking the comparison to logical levels, whose characteristics are similar or different from each other, and thus obtain a more precise analysis when comparing it with another object, or person. The data and concepts obtained are evaluated with certain terms that have already been analyzed with safe deductions.
- In mathematics. There is a diversity of activities that lead to making existential premises that, when grouped, use tools that already have a reason for being.
- Simple. This searches for its premise in two previously established quantities that have a greater value.
- By difference. This process entails extracting the quantity or greater number that it possesses.
- By quotient. This premise is carried out through the division of its quantities or numbers according to the number of times it is repeated, choosing the one with the highest value.
Importance of comparison in the daily life of the human being.
We can explain this through an example: If you go to a supermarket to make your basic food purchases. All the products that you carry to be consumed in due time. You should pay attention to taking items whose prices, dates and brands can be made a quick comparison process, be it simple, by difference or any other type of deduction that you are going to consider when making your purchases. It requires being skilled to choose your products well since today there is such a variety of brands. The most logical thing is that you base yourself on those items that have a good nutritional base, but at the same time compare prices and expiration dates.
Importance of comparison for learning.
It is a tool that helps students learn to reason to make their point of view understood, based on the premises that are presented to them in any area of study, it also helps them determine through their analysis whether they are syntactic or similes to look for characteristics or differences between objects, people, things or numbers and quantities whose features are important to draw conclusions at a given time, making the properties studied very clear.
