7. Question
When do you “compare” yourself with somebody (or yours like car,
computer , etc., with others) in your daily lives,
and why do you think it is beneficial or detrimental?
Reflecting on your daily practice, what do you think about using
comparative research method in international research?
What we will gain or lose? What kind of mind should we have?

(a)
"The concept of comparison has been insufficiently
investigated and seeks to point to ways in
which it can be methodologically approached."

Historical Understanding
Five Ways to Determine Equivalence
-Another person’s behavior: Detach themselves from the normal way of thinking in order to be able to examine it from the outside
-Language regulates itself on its own terms
Complete understanding is impossible to achieve, some degree is attainable
1)
Isomorphism
an isomorphism is a similarity of the processes or structure of one organization to those of another, be it the result of imitation or independent development under similar constraints. There are three main types of institutional isomorphism: normative, coercive and mimetic.
Psychophysical parallelism, in philosophy, is the theory that mental and bodily experiences occur in tandem with each other, but without any type of causal interaction; it denies the interaction between the body and the mind.[1] In other words, the mind and body are two independent phenomena but cannot be separated from one another
Equivalence of objects of comparisom has to be defined at the same level of the system
Existence of correlation is a necessary but not
A sufficient condition for the establishment of a
Casual relationship
Things are as they are. Looking out into it the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations. Alan Watts
