Competitive Analysis Essay

Competitive Analysis Essay
UThe competitive analysis is an essential research process to conduct. By examining and researching it allows me to see what content and features
draws new users. It also acts as inspiration research for ideas to develop during wireframing. The main competitors that would rival the Snapchat app
both have a modern aesthetics and it's clear how to use. Instagram, the Facebook–owned photo–sharing app with 600 million monthly users, targeted
Snap head–on last August when it launched Instagram Stories, a feature that very closely resembles Snapchat's own My Story feature. Similar to My
Story, Instagram Stories lets people string together several photos and videos, but with fewer filters and lenses, to appear a top Instagram users' feeds.

Additionally, users may join common–interest user groups organised by workplace, school, hobbies or other topics, and categorise their friends into
lists such as "People From Work" or "Close Friends". A modern app offers almost the same functionality. The key difference of this app is the
navigation and different colour functionality. However, overall it is well structured and easy to use. However, with what I have discovered I
believe it will out top these apps. Through using the applications of my competitors and having a clearly look, it allowed me to ensure I satisfy my
users and find out ways to advance the application as stated earlier. On a weekly basis if there are meetings, this ensures the deadlines are met and
if there are any changes it will be fully discussed on how the overall process is going. Also, through talking to user's who use the current apps, that
I am competing with allows me to have a broader understanding on how to ensure it is at the top. As well as, working with a properly structured
budget points out what aspects of the business produce money and which ones use it, which forces management to consider whether it should drop
some parts of the business, or expand in others. APP RESTRUCTURE MOODBOARD Screen Log in screen Help Message Alice Lisa's profile

Comparative Analysis Essay

Knowing and Knowledge Assessment 1 Comparative Analysis
This essay will be comparing and analysing the techniques used by two Melbourne based university lectures, Robert Manne and Patrick Stokes. Both
dealing with the thematic subject of opinion.
Concerning Climate Change "Clear, Catastrophic threats, Manne opens the article with an anecdote, that a "part of the english syllabus [as a
schoolboy] was "clear thinking"" (Manne 2011). This anecdote should set up a relevance and an accessibility to the reader drawing them in and
sympathising with the argument that will be put forward. Almost a third of the article is dense with data. "1500 or so leading climate scientists"
(Manne 2011), "928 scientific papers"...show more content...
Without reading any content the article looks to follow a linear progression. The content argues that there is a distinction between opinion and certain
knowledge (Stokes 2012),and must be earned through argument. Interestingly, Stokes initiates an argument with Meryl Dorey during the article.
Stokes' piece opens similar to Manne's in the use of anecdote about how he addresses his students philosophers. Anecdote should be used to give
relevance to the reader, as aforementioned, though not many reading his article sit in Stokes' philosophy lectures. It's interesting he uses this technique.
Though, as Stokes goes on, he uses three paragraphs on just this anecdote, telling the reader that how he teaches a class, but also setting the main
contention of his piece. The formatting makes everything clear. Appeals toauthority is a main use of persuasive technique used in the article. Stokes
references Plato and his distinction between opinion or common belief and certain knowledge. With that appeal Stokes states that "opinion has a degree
of subjectivity and uncertainty to it" (Stokes 2012). Stokes also uses distinction as a persuasive technique. He separates the degree of opinion that it's
"...silly to insist that strawberry ice cream is better than chocolate" (Stokes 2012) but arguing an opinion without the relevant qualifications is also just
as silly. Again, that clarity in distinction has an effect on the comprehension of Stokes' argument. Coherence in

The Great Gatsby Comparative Essay
The central antagonist of Fitzgerald's Jazz Age classic, Jay Gatsby, is revealed to the reader throughout the novel, creating a sense of mystery around
his character, his past and his future. The quasi – fantastical pictorial of the same name, by Greenberg, also follows this reveal, portraying Gatsby's
world and evoking a lingering curiosity. Initially, in bothnovel and graphic novel, the reader is set up to expect the worst. In the introduction of the
novel by Fitzgerald, Nick states ' No– Gatsby turned out alright in the end; it is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his
dreams that temporarily closed out my interests in the abortive sorrows and short winded elations of men.' This introduction creates a...show more

Fitzgerald does not, however, describe the physical characteristics of Gatsby. This allows the reader to understand that he is a plot device, and his
dreams serve a larger purpose in the story.
Gatsby's infatuation with the green glowing light in the distance maintains the mystery surrounding his character. Fitzgerald uses this as a tool to
enhance the readers understanding that Gatsby has a goal and ambition, although it is unknown at the time. Greenburg's interpretation promotes the
thought that Gatsby is almost worshiping the light, and is investing all of him into his quest. This symbol of hope is explained in the final chapter
of Fitzgerald's novel, comparing Gatsby's green light to the "green breast of the new world", with the suggestion that Gatsby's dream is tarnished
by his material possessions. Gatsby dreams, yet does not realize that his dreams are unworthy of him. Gatsby invests Daisy with an idealistic
perfection that she cannot possibly attain in reality and pursues her with a passionate zeal that blinds him to her limitations. This is represented by
Greenberg in the detailed view of daisy's past and the emphasis placed on her imperfection. Daisy's past, in the hospital giving birth and before her
wedding day show her real emotion, however the reader is pulled back into her facade after only a few small yet

Comparative Analysis of Slave Narratives
Comparative Analysis of Slave Narratives Wallace Quarterman (1935) was a slave on Skidaway Island, Georgia before the Civil War. The available
audio narrative covers only a portion of his life, primarily from the moment of his freedom through coping with Reconstruction. Aunt Harriet Smith
(1941) provides a longer view of her life on the outskirts of San Antonio, Texas, from her childhood through her three marriages. Both reported being
treated well by their 'masters' before the Civil War ended. The point at which Quarterman's (1935) narration picks up is when he hears the Union
cannons firing close by. At the time, he was 'toting' breakfast for the master, Colonel Fewary. The Colonel interrupted him in his task and asked
whether the noise was thunder or something else. Based on the narration, the guns grew close enough that the dishes on the table began to rattle,
whereupon the Colonel ordered Quarterman to run out to the fields and tell the driver Peter to let the slaves go. Apparently, there was some fear of
retribution if the Union troops came upon plantations still holding slaves. The driver did not believe Quarterman at first, but when the Union troops
arrived the slaves threw down their farming implements and began to rejoice. Despite Quarterman's (1935) claim that he was not mistreated by the
Colonel, it seems obvious from the rejoicing of the slaves that conditions could not have been great. However, there may be some truth to what he
claims, since he was

A Comparative Analysis of Eating Out vs. Eating at Home
Eating is essential part of our lives, and it is a necessity for human survival as it is for all other living species. While all living organisms need to eat
to survive human race has more ways on how to satisfy their eating necessity. Two ways that humans can satisfy their hunger is by making a choice
whether they prefer to eat out or stay at home and cook. Eating out has become popular trend in today's society, especially among younger generations.
With wide variety in delicious food offered, and chance to enjoy it with your loved ones, eating out has become primary choice for many busy
adults. Eating at home gives us an opportunity to enjoy diverse food choices as well, and it can be also enjoyed with family and friends alike.
Cooking is one of the oldest crafts that has been passed down from our older generations, and is still popular among many that enjoy preparing food at
home. While eating out and eating at home are similar in variety of delicious foods offered, and chance to share it with our families and friends,
nutritional health value choices are different for each of them. Eating out offers less control on nutritionally healthy food choices, and eating at home
gives you more control on what kind of nutritional foods are we consuming.
Eating out and eating at home are similar in variety of delicious foods offered. Eating out has large selection of diverse delicious food offered from all
over the world.

Comparative Subjects
Definition and Comparative Subjects Emotionality, as described by the Penguin Dictionary of Psychology is the observable behavioral and
physiological component of emotion, and is a measure of a person's emotional reactivity to a stimulus (Reber, 2001). Key words in the discussion of
emotionality are neuroticism, temperament, and stability. Emotional stability refers to a person's ability to remain stable and balanced (123Test, 2015).
Emotional stability is the state of emotions that the individual produces and is measured at either high, medium, or low levels. Emotional stability is
associated with neuroticism due to the implication that depending on said levels, an individual may possess a variation or neurotic behaviors.
However, to differentiate

In the above calculations it is important to note that once again assumptions were made. I assumed the pleasure of paying less taxes would be more
intense than the pain of knowing that no crime was being prevented from lack of intense punishment (death). It is cheaper to keep an inmate alive until
they die naturally when compared to the cost of sentencing an inmate to death, and thus I considered it a monetary pleasure for tax paying citizens
when an inmate is kept alive. "The punishment of death punishes taxpayers and drains away precious resources from the criminal justice system"
(Costanzo 62). Now that any underlying assumptions within the data have been addressed, one is able to easily compute the aggregate utility for this
option, and

What ideas and arguments are of most interest and relevance to you in each essay? Why? What ideas and arguments can you trace as common and
different between the two essays? How do these connections help you understand the issues at play in any discussion of brand marketing? In Naomi
Klein essay, she talks about how corporations has been attempting to free themselves from the manufacturing there own products by farming it out to
contractors so they can focus on branding. I personally don't like this. I have always been the type of person that will pay the extra dime to acquire
the handmade or the made in USA products if possible. In Sally Satel and John O. Lilienfeld's essay, they wrote about how companies have hired

A Case Report on the Financial Statements of Reed Elsevier and Thomson Corporation Executive Summary With the objective to understand the
business performance of the two entities, we reviewed the 2007 financial statements of both company and tried to obtain some insight on the
profitability and solvency of each entity. The two companies we study are: Reed Elsevier and Thomson, in the filed of information and publishing.
Reed Elsevier is listed in below stock exchanges: REN (Euronext Amsterdam), REL (London), RUK and ENL (NYSE). Thomson was shown (before
acquiring Reuters) as TOC (NYSE) and TOC (TSX). As the two multinational companies we are studying covering diversified businesses, here in the

Net Income from Discontinued OperationsвЂЁ The amount shown on the income statement under discontinued operations is the profit made during
the period from the businesses that will not be a part of the company in the future. The net profit for the year of Reed Elsevier is higher almost by
50% due to the profit made from discontinued operations. The net profit of the Thompson Corporation has also grown by almost 4 times, which is
also due mostly to the earnings from discontinued operations. Net Profit Margin Now let's see how much profit a company makes for every $ 1 it
generates in revenue. Profit margins vary by industry, but all else being equal, the higher a company's profit margin compared to its competitors, the
better. Reed Elsevier: 1,713 / 6,693= 0.26 Thompson: 1,096 / 7,296 = 0.15 Return on Equity (ROE) One of the most important profitability metrics is
return on equity. Return on equity reveals how much profit a company earned in comparison to the total amount of shareholder equity. It's what the
shareholders "own". A business that has a high return on equity is more likely to be one that is capable of generating cash internally. For the most part,
the higher a company's return on equity compared to its industry, the better. Let's calculate ROE for Thomson: the earnings for 2007 were 4,004, and

A Comparative Approach In Comparative Literature
Comparative literature can be regarded as comparative criticism in substance, because comparison and analysis have been and continue to be the
principal organs of literary criticism since Aristotle (384 B.C. – 322 B.C.). Of the early theoretical practitioners, Quintilian (35 A.D. – 95 A.D.) and
Longinus (1st century) tried the comparative method fairly and systematically. Comparative literature as a separate and independent discipline is,
comparatively, a recent phenomenon. From the historical viewpoint, the term comparative literature is said to have originated by with the first use of
this term by H.M. Posnett. But he used the term not exactly in the sense it is used now. The credit of its origin must be given to Matthew Arnold (1822
A.D. –1888 A.D.) who was a relentless advocate and practitioner of comparative literature. According to him the best method of literary evaluation is
touchstone method in which the analogical similarity of the term comparative literature is involved in the sense which is supposed nowadays.
Internationalism in aesthetics made a first debut in the first international congress of Aesthetics, held in 1913 in Berlin. But it was confined within the
limits of Western literature. The gap between the occidental and the oriental aesthetics remained as ever before. But due to the zeal of renaissance
spirit,scholars in the East, particularly in India, China and Japan, and orientalists in the West started writing on oriental arts and aesthetics in English
and other European languages. Their works made the western aestheticians recognise that "oriental art contains important values not attained by art in
the west"(Munru 13) led to the discovery of important insights in oriental aesthetics, applicable to art and aesthetic experience everywhere and made
many Western artists and critics believe that the Western art has much to learn from Eastern methods. Oriental school of poetics has six types;
Dhavani,. Rasa, Alamkar, Vakroti, Reeti and Auchitya. The last school is Auchitya propounded by Kshemendra (circa 11 A.D.) After the gap of six
hundred years, the name of Panditraj Jagannath can be mentioned, but his theory of poetics can also be included in rasa–theory. It should also be kept
in mind

Comparative Rhetorical Analysis
Throughout the course English 101, I believe my writing skills have improved through understanding concepts such as rhetorical situation, purpose,
audience, ethos, pathos, logos, and rhetorical analysis. Looking back at the semester, I reflect on my strengths and weaknesses. My strengths include
my note taking skills and being attentive during class. Doing this, I was later able to use these notes to look back at while writing, which I found very
useful. For example, for the essay Comparative Rhetorical Analysis, I took note of almost every piece of information Dr. Braun gave us, writing in the
margins of the articles and highlighting important phrases. Because of this, writing came very easily to me not only for that essay but also others,

Quantitative vs. Qualitative: A Comparative Analysis of Research Methods Engaging in a research project can be a frightening and intimidating task
for anyone. However, Polansky and Waller (2015) provide a six–step process that is designed to simplify the research process by alleviating anxiety
and ensuring that the researcher is able to complete the project in a timely manner. The first step is defining the problem so that it is clearly
understood. Once there is clarity on what needs to be done or of what is required, the focus can shift towards completion of the project. Step two is
laying out the research objectives that need to be accomplished in order to arrive at a solution to the research question. Next, a determination is made
on the best course of action to acquire the required information. Once a suitable framework is selected, it is time to move on to the fourth step, which
is gathering data. The fifth step involves analyzing and deciphering the data and putting it all into a usable format that answers the research question.
Finally, we arrive at step six, which means the research question has been answered, and the results are ready for presentation (Polansky & Waller,
2015). Research in its most elementary form can be described as the activities that enable us to expand our knowledge. The process involves the
gathering and synthesis of information so that the facts surrounding a given problem can be analyzed and a suitable answer or alternative solution to the

A Comparative Analysis of Health Care Systems: Germany v. The United States of America According to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
announced by the United Nations in 1948, "Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well–being of himself and of his
family, including food, clothing, housing, medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness,
disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control."[1] The definition of a health care system has been
dynamic and progressive throughout the course of human history. It can be defined at both macro and microscopic levels of analysis and the system
can vary substantially between different countries, political systems, societies, cultures, socio–economic classes, groups, families, and individuals.[2]
As a system, there are many unique and interconnected segments that integrate together to serve a collective goal of maintaining the health &
well–being of the people. This is most typically accomplished through a combination of preventative, reactive, and follow–up care.[3] Health systems
are culturally influenced, and can be sub–divided into three main categories, which include the professional (academic, or scientific formal school
training), popular (individual, family and community based approach), and folk sectors (non–profession healing specialists).[2] In this paper, a health

Comparative Analysis of Josie Appleton's article "The Body Piercing Project" and Bonnie Berkowitz' "Tattooing Outgrows Its Renegade Image to
Thrive In The Mainstream".
Traditionally, tattoos were meant for sailors, soldiers, bikers and gangs. Along with several changes in the industrialized and technological society of
the twenty–first century, the standard for getting body modifications have altered as well. Everyday, people are willing to get permanently marked as
an individual choice rather than the customarily perception of belonging to a certain group. Tattoo and piercing shops are not seen as "the backstreet"
of the commercial civilization today, it is somewhat an expected sight in all public places. Josie Appleton in "The Body...show more content...
Appleton is successfully arguing this case using pathos by telling stories rather than her own direct opinion. Using pathos means that she is appealing
to emotions (Ruszkiewicz, Anderson, and Friend 24). Berkowitz, on the other hand, argues using logos to persuade the audience that people are
getting tattoos for cosmetic reasons. She is therefor appealing to factual evidence (Ruszkiewicz, Anderson, and Friend 24), "Painters and sculptors
trained in fine arts migrated to tattooing, looking at skin as a living canvas" (Berkowitz par. 7). Berkowitz is using historical facts to underline the
significance of a permanent artwork on skin. The author argues that the change from a patriotic mark (as a sign of belonging to a group) to the
superficial meaning started in the late 1970s and early '80s when tattoo artists were encouraged to share ideas through magazines and conventions. In
addition, athletes and television implicated that tattoos were cool in this time period. As to compare Appleton and Berkowitz' articles, it is simplest to
say that Appleton argues the change in why people want body modification by implying that the so–called "personal significance" means little compared
to the cosmetic reason. By Appleton implying the cosmetic reason, the two articles successfully argue the same reason. Berkowitz directly says that the
reason for people getting tattooed today is aesthetic but Appleton makes the

Communication Genre Comparative Analysis
Introduction
Public administrators use many communication genres to reach their audiences. These genres range from business cards to governmental proposals.
Each one has its own purpose. Each one has its own way of getting information to the audience quickly and efficiently. Each one has been affected by
technology. Each has its own discourse conventions associated with it. And each has its own method of distribution–either external or internal. The

It provides an explanation of previous events for the reader or investigative results, and stipulations for implementation of policies and enforcement of
these policies. Apolicy handbook is a comprehensive guide for the expectations of employees. It provides a statement of core values and purpose, code
of conduct, and guidance for internal action.
Reaching the Intended Audience
The business card and resume both provide substantial information to the reader. However, the genres are different. The business card provides the
identity of the agency or organization, address, and phone number. On the other hand, the resume provides the reader with information regarding the
candidate's employment experience and skills. A policy memorandum genre is different in that it provides the reader with information regarding to
whom the memorandum is addressed, who it is from, along with a subject to be discussed. Public policy reports genre differ as they are an ongoing
process that serves as a means to an end of changes in policy behavior, unlike policy handbooks that provide detailed instructions on how to implement

rules within an organization.
Technology
Technology has advanced the development of genres in various ways. As readers or viewers process documents and view websites, they learn to
recognize an agency, a business, or an organization with the use of a business card. Likewise, advances in technology have changed the way employers

As with any other comparative analysis, this essay will discuss the similarities between two elements. The elements in this situation are the Republic of
Ireland and the United States of America. The three specific ways that these two countries can be compared are via: economic and political outlook,
social and cultural issues, and resources and work culture. Additionally, each country is known throughout the world. Primarily because of their
business structure. The first factor that will be addressed is economic and political outlook. To begin one will address the political outlook of these two
countries, and with that comes the form of government. Both are republics. With the United States being a "constitutional federal...show more content...
1). Their duty is to speak to the government on behalf of a community and/or state. In the judicial branch, both countries have a Supreme Court
("The World Factbook: IRELAND", 2017, Pg. 1). Whose role is to hear legal cases of significant magnitude to the country and/or its citizens. One
key difference is that in Ireland the judges in the Supreme Court cannot "serve past age 70", whereas in the United States the judges are appointed
for life ("The World Factbook: IRELAND", 2017, Pg. 1). Hence, the age of justices varies between these two republics. These three major branches
of government can also overlap at times to provide a peaceful resolution or to resolve active disputes. Now for the economic outlook of these two
countries. This comparing, and contrasting segment is more difficult than the political outlook. Since, these two countries do vary quite significantly
in terms of population and size. For instance, Ireland's population as of July 2016 was just below five million, which is incomparable to the roughly
324 million United States population ("The World Factbook: IRELAND", 2017, Pg. 1). That means the Irish population could be added about 65 times
to reach the American population. However, these two nations do have some similarities. First, both countries rely heavily on technology to propel
their economic growth and expansion. For Ireland has a "talented pool of high–tech laborers" and
