How To Write A Comparison Essay

Introduction
Writing an essay on the intricacies of crafting a compelling introduction for a comparison essay can
prove to be a challenging endeavor. The difficulty arises not only from the technical aspects of essay
composition but also from the need to strike a delicate balance between engaging the reader and
providing a clear roadmap for the comparative analysis that follows.

Firstly, delving into the nuances of a comparison essay introduction requires a deep understanding of
the subject matter being compared. Whether it's literature, historical events, scientific theories, or any
other domain, a solid grasp of the similarities and differences is essential. This demands extensive
research, critical thinking, and the ability to synthesize information effectively.

Next, the challenge lies in formulating an introduction that captures the reader's attention while
setting the stage for the subsequent analysis. Crafting a hook that intrigues the audience and
introduces the significance of the comparison can be a daunting task. The writer must carefully
choose words and structure sentences to create an impactful opening that generates interest without
giving away too much information.

Moreover, the complexity of addressing the unique requirements of a comparison essay adds an
additional layer of difficulty. Balancing the introduction's brevity with the need to provide enough
context for understanding the comparison poses a constant challenge. Writers must carefully select
their points of emphasis, ensuring that the introduction serves as a coherent and effective preview of
the comparative exploration to follow.

In conclusion, writing an essay on how to compose a comparison essay introduction involves


navigating a multifaceted challenge that includes in-depth subject knowledge, creative writing skills,
and a keen sense of balance. Aspiring writers tackling this task may find themselves wrestling with
the intricacies of capturing the reader's interest while laying the groundwork for a meaningful
comparison.

obesity, brain structure and a pediatric neuropsychological assessment in thirty three

De Leonibus, M. L. Marcovecchio, V. Chiavaroli, T. de Giorgis, F. Chiarelli, and A.
Mohn, took a sample of 155 Caucasian children to see if puberty and physical growth
vary in obese when compared to normal weight children. At first, the children were
assessed to make sure they were pre pubertal and then followed thereafter during their
pubertal years. This study was conducted over a 7 year period from January 2004 to
September 2012. Out of the 155 children, 100 were obese pre pubertal children
(44boys and 56 girls). The Obesity Clinic of the Department of Pediatrics in Italy had
referred these obese children for the study. Even though these children were obese,
they were in good health and were not affected by any chronic diseases. However,
physical disabilities, abnormalities of pubertal development or other endocrine
disorders were excluded. It was also made sure the participants were not taking any
medication known to affect the gonadal function and to make sure none had a family
history of precocious or delayed pubertal development. It was also made sure the
children had not participated in weight loss or dietary restrictions before beginning the
study. The remanding 55 children, would be the control group. This group consisted of
Caucasian normal weight children (27 boys and 28 girls) that would be compared to the
obese group. These children were referred by the Paediatric outpatient clinics of the
hospital for minor health
Dr. Bolam s Voluntary Electro Convulsive Therapy
In an era where the medical professional was paternalistic and largely unchallenged,
John hector Bolam in 1954 underwent voluntary electro convulsive therapy (ECT), a
recognised treatment for severe depression. Apart from the presence of a nurse to
prevent any falls, no other precautions were taken to avoid injury as a result of any
convulsions that may be caused by the treatment itself. As a result Mr Bolam suffered
serious injuries including a pelvic fracture and he pursued a claim in medical negligence
that he had neither been warned of the side effects of the treatment nor provided with
adequate safeguards to prevent injury. Medical opinion was divided as to how best to
minimise any injuries. The defence argued that the measures taken by Mr Bolam s
doctor was considered by the medical profession to be within acceptable practice and
that there was no requirement on the part of the doctor to explain any risks unless asked
to do so.

In this landmark case, there were two key questions that had to be answered Firstly
how would it be decided what was acceptable practice in the context of the treatment
provided and secondly who would decide what was acceptable in matters of informed
consent and disclosure of risk. In his direction to the jury, Mcnair J referred to the test
of negligence applied by Lord President Clyde in Hunter v Hanley the true test for
establishing negligence in diagnosis or treatment on the part of the doctor is whether he
has been proved to be
The Ice Storm Chapter 1 Summary
Homework #11
1. Compared to Flashes of War, The Ice Storm by Rick Moody is completely different
from Katey Schultz s book. Not only be genre, but also by writing styles. Reading
through the first chapter I was a bit shocked with Moody s explicitness. The book is
very sexual and carries an uncomfortable vibe. The first character introduced, Benjamin
Hood, is an odd character to me. I ve never read a book with a character like Benjamin.
While the beginning has turned out to be a bit confusing for me, after reading the first
three chapters, I am curious as to how this book will continue.
2. I believe Moody does this to give readers a look into current events and what it was
like living in the year 1972. It allows readers who were not living during the seventies
or too young to understand what was happening, trending, and important during the
time. I was confused when Moody wrote, No Nobel Peace Prize for 1972 (page 4).
After doing some research I found out that the Nobel Prize was not awarded nineteen
times. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Since each chapter is in the perspective of a different character, Moody gives the
readers insight to the characters specific feelings on same events. Elena s perspective
caught my attention the most. While reading in Elena s point of view many questions
arose for me about her. Elena is very closed off, she knows her husband is cheating on
her; her children are growing up and getting into dangerous positions. Elena s
backstory was incredibly interesting. None of her family ever showed affection
towards her. Her father was only there to pay bills and give her a roof over her head,
her mother was an alcoholic whom she only saw for a few hours in the evening, and
her brother raised her in an unethical way. Since Elena is so closed off it makes me
curious as to what her children think about her or why she felt the responsibility of going
to check on her mother every time she threatened to commit suicide, even though her
mother never showed her any
Consequences Of Racial, Ethnic, And Gender Stereotyping In...
Explain and discuss the presence and consequences of racial, ethnic, and gender
stereotyping in the mass media. The Subtle Influence of Mass Media
The desire to belong in society is so strong, that many problems arise out of it s pursuit.
In groups are created in order to create feelings of unity and to allow for a collective
identity. However, with the development of these in groups, come outgroups, which are,
groups toward which one feels antagonism and contempt (Giddens). Perpetuated by mass
media, this way of thinking paves a path of discrimination, specifically targeting gender
and racial differences. Often, the first things that comes to mind of gender stereotyping
in media are the unrealistic body images women face. From the tall and unrealistically
skinny models, to even a burger ad that uses topless models, women are bombarded
with the expectations of these unobtainable yet perfect bodies by societies standards.
However, this is not where the problem all begins. One journalist describes her
frustration, saying, My search for American advertisements with girls playing with
action figures and boys using easy bake ovens was fruitless (Lantange). At a very young
age, children are taught what their roles are through even the most subtle of media. By
gender stereotyping the young children in the advertisements, young americans are being
conditioned that the women will play with the easy bake oven, a toy that hints at future
domestic chores, and the boys will play with plastic tool belts and action figures.
Another example of stereotyping in the media that often goes unnoticed is the roles
given to women in film and television. In the polarized comic strip The Rule , it is
pointed out that a movie often fails to reach three requirements. These requirements, now
referred to as the Bechdel test, state that in order to pass a movie must have at least two
women, who must talk to each other, and they must talk about something other than a
man (Bechdel). Sadly, very few movies pass this test. The consequences of this are an
audience that either does not view actresses as equally talented to their male counterparts,
or, that they are only useful for romantic interest to the plot. These stereotypes

Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps ( Irgc )
Anyone who has even the slightest clue about anything related to world news has the
basic understanding that Iran is a major player in the world of politics. From
miscellaneous missile launches to disputes with other foreign nations, they have strong
armed their way onto the international stage. Iran has become the largest threat in the
Middle Eastern region as a result of the efforts of their fairly infant Iranian
Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Plunging in for a closer look, the strength of the
IRGC impresses not only politics, but the socioeconomic culture of Iranbut not in the
most positive fashion.
Formally known as Persia, Iran s military history spans back to the time period before
Christ existed. Through thousands of years of regime changes, in more modern times,
Iran has adopted a two headed military system. These two factions are the Artesh and
the Sepah (more commonly known as Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps [IRGC]).
The Artesh is the national defense force or the conventional army of Iran. The Artesh
protect the borders and carry out other internal responsibilities while the IRGC serves
as the offensive entity. The Artesh has more soldiers than the IRGC, but the IRGC is
the face and strength of Iran. The birth of the IRGC was a result of the Iranian
Revolution of 1979. The ability of the IRGC to not only stand up as an Army, but to
essentially eradicate the Iraqi presence from Iran to end the 8 year Iraq Iran War
legitimizes its existence even to this day.
Surveillance Technology In Foucault s Discipline And Punish
Almost everything someone does in today s society is under surveillance. It does not
matter if you are surfing the web, going to the store, or even driving a car; it is almost
always under surveillance. While Michel Foucault does not specifically talk about
modern surveillance technology in Discipline Punish (1977), much of the primitive
technology that he does talk about is directly related with today s surveillance
technology. Michel Foucaultbelieves that societal surveillance began to take effect during
the 1600 s to control the masses. Many modern surveillance technologies reflect Foucault
s ideas helping to categorize, differentiate, hierarchize, and exclude people from the
masses.
Michel Foucault believes that surveillance is used to categorize, differentiate, hierarchize,
and exclude. In part three chapter two of Discipline and Punish Foucault starts to talk
about how a school was designed to be able to use surveillance. Foucault says: The
very building of the Ecole was to be an apparatus for observation; the rooms were
distributed along a corridor like a series of small cells; at regular intervals, an officer s
quarters were situated, so that every ten pupils had an officer on each side (pp. 172 173).
Because the building is broken up into rooms, it makes it easier to categorize the
students; whether by age, intelligence, or any other way wanted. The officers can simply
put one group into one room and another group into the other room. Later in that chapter
Foucault says, an assistant teacher taught the holding of the pen, guided the pupils hand,
corrected mistakes and at the same time marked down those who did not know them (p
176). This one task that the assistant teacher completed can be used to categorize,
differentiate, hierarchize, and exclude. The teachers can put the students into different
groups based on what they know or don t know. They can then be able to differentiate
between the students and know what they do know. They will keep records of how each
student did, and they can take the less proficient students and give them a different
curriculum so that they can continue to progress.
While the organization of the school was a good starting point for surveillance
