One of the most basic and powerful forms of analysis in any
discipline is comparison. In a social studies class, students use
compare and contrast to identify the defining characteristics of a
culture or reign, etc., and to compare those to the defining
characteristics of another culture, etc., under study. This is in itself
valuable knowledge for a student. However, depending on the context and
content of the web, a student could also be shown:
- The universality of cultures, religions, etc.
- Why one civilization was able to survive at a specific point in
time, while another failed
- Why two cultures responded to the same event in different ways
- How a culture could embrace two seemingly different religions
