Compare and Contrast Essays
Summary
TLDR本视频向观众介绍了如何撰写比较和对比型论文。首先解释了这类论文的两大目的:进行分析以做出评估,以及获得对两个或多个事物的深入理解。接着,视频提出了撰写此类论文的三个关键步骤:阐明并解释被比较对象共有的三个或以上主要元素,分析这些元素的相似之处和不同之处,以及构建一个论点来表明你对比较对象的立场。最后,介绍了两种常见的组织结构:点对点模式和块模式,并通过比较两种不同耳机的例子来具体说明如何应用这些结构。
Takeaways

Q & A
比较和对比文章的主要目的是什么?
-比较和对比文章主要有两个目的:一是分析两个或多个事物,以便进行评估;二是获得对这些事物的深入理解和认识。
在比较和对比文章中,如果一方明显优于另一方,应该如何表达?
-如果一方明显优于另一方,应该清晰地指出这一方的积极方面远远超过另一方,并提供具体的例子和分析来支持这一观点。
当比较和对比的对象在分析后显示两者都有效或同样不好时,文章应该如何结尾?
-在这种情况下,文章应该提供一个均衡的结论,说明两者各有优缺点,或者在特定情境下各自的适用性。
在撰写比较和对比文章时,应如何组织文章结构?
-文章结构可以通过点对点模式或块状模式来组织。点对点模式是将每个比较点分别放在不同的段落中进行讨论,而块状模式是先集中讨论一个对象的所有比较点,然后再讨论另一个对象的所有比较点。
比较和对比文章中提到的三个或更多主要元素是什么?
-这些元素是被比较和对比对象共有的,且对文章主题至关重要,需要在文章中明确指出并解释。
如何在比较和对比文章中阐明每个元素的相似性和差异性?
-对于每个主要元素,应该详细描述它们在比较对象之间的相似之处和不同之处,并提供具体的例子来支持分析。
文章的论点(thesis)应该包含哪些内容?
-论点应该明确表达作者对比较和对比后的主要对象的立场,无论是倾向于一方、认为双方均有效,还是认为双方同样不好。
比较和对比文章的目的和组织结构之间有什么关系?
-文章的目的决定了组织结构的选择。例如,如果目的是评估,可能更适合使用点对点模式;如果目的是理解事物之间的区别和联系,则可能更适合使用块状模式。
在比较和对比文章中,分析和评估有什么不同?
-分析是对比较对象的特性和属性进行详尽的描述和解释,而评估则是基于这些分析做出判断,决定哪个对象更优或更适合特定情况。
比较和对比文章中的点对点模式和块状模式哪种更有效?
-这取决于文章的目的和作者的偏好。点对点模式有助于突出比较点之间的直接对比,而块状模式则有助于深入探讨每个对象的各个方面。
在比较和对比文章中,如何确保每个段落都紧密围绕主题展开?
-每个段落应该集中讨论一个主要元素或比较点,并且在段落的开始明确指出这一点,确保段落内容与主题直接相关。
比较和对比文章中,如何避免偏见并保持客观?
-要保持客观,作者需要公正地呈现所有事实和数据,避免过度强调某一方的优点或缺点,并确保分析基于证据和逻辑推理。

本段视频脚本首先介绍了比较与对比论文的两大主要目的:一是分析两个或多个对象以便进行评估,例如通过比较A和B的共同点和差异来决定哪个选项更佳;二是获得对两个或多个对象的深入理解和认识,旨在区分看似相同实则存在重要区别的对象。接着,视频提供了有效撰写比较与对比论文的三个步骤:首先,陈述并解释被比较对象共有的三个或更多主要元素;其次,对这些元素的相似之处和不同之处进行阐述;最后,构建一个论点,明确表达对比较对象的立场。视频还提到了两种常见的论文组织模式:点对点模式和块模式,并通过比较两种不同耳机的例子来具体说明如何应用这两种模式。

Hey guys!
Welcome to this video over comparing and contrasting.
Now, before we just jump into how to write a compare and contrast essay, I think we must
first answer the why.
By having the "why" answered, it will help to make the how more understandable, and easier to follow.
A compare and contrast essay generally serve two major purposes.
The first, and most common purpose, is to present an analysis of two or more things,
so that an evaluation can be made.
For example: A and B have some things in common.
Here are the things that A and B have in common.
However, A and B also have some differences.
Here are their differences.
As you can see, a majority of the differences that B has
are further on the negative spectrum when compared with A.
The positive aspects of A far outweigh the positive aspects of B.
Therefore, A is a better option than B.
Or it may be that after an analysis is made
between A and B, you are able to make the evaluation that either option is a good one.
The second purpose of a compare and contrast essay is to gain insight and understanding
of two or more things.
So, instead of trying to say that one is better than the other, you are simply trying to find
out how each "thing" is different, and how they are similar.
This is generally done, when there is confusion between two or more things that seem as though
they are the same thing, but there are in fact important distinctions that need to be made.
For instance, what is the difference between an analysis and an evaluation
When comparing and contrasting these two things, your aim is not to find out which one is better,
because both are necessary.
Your aim is to gain a thorough understand of what each actually is.
Alright, now let's take a look at how to actually write a compare and contrast essay.
To effectively write a compare and contrast essay there are three things that you should always do:
1.
State and give an explanation of three or more major elements shared by the subjects
that are being compared and contrasted.
2.
Of the elements that you stated and explained, shine light on the similarities and differences of each.
3.
Construct a thesis, stating your stance
concerning the major subjects that have been compared and contrasted.
Like I said when talking about the purpose of a compare and contrast essay, it may be
that one side is clearly stronger or it may be that after your analysis both are equally
effective, or that both are equally bad.
Whatever the case, be sure to state your thesis.
Now, the last thing that we will talk about in this video is how to organize your compare and contrast essay.
First, hear me say this,
there are numerous ways to organize your essay.
S-o-o m-a-a-any wa-a-ays.
However, there are typically two common ways that are taught.
The reason is, because these two ways have consistently proven to be clear and effective.
With that being said, those two ways are the ways that I will be discussing.
The first type of organization pattern is the point-by-point pattern.
Let's say you are comparing two different headphones.
The two types of headphones would be our items.
Now, if we chose to compare them on the grounds of cost, durability, and comfort then those
three things would be our points.
So, when using a point by point pattern of organization we would separate our paragraphs by each point.
In one paragraph we would compare the cost of headphone A and the cost of headphone b.
Then, in our next paragraph we would compare the durability of headphone A with the durability
of headphone B, and so on.
The second type of organization pattern is the block pattern.
Using this type of organization you would discuss the one type of headphone first, headphone A.
You would discuss the cost in the first body paragraph, the durability in the second,
and the comfort in the third.
Then you would move on to discuss these three same points except now for our second item, headphone B.
I hope that this video on how to write a compare and contrast essay has been helpful to you.
