A comparative essay asks that you compare at least two (possibly more) items. These items will differ depending on the assignment. You might be asked to compare
- Positions on an issue (e.g., responses to midwifery in Canada and the United States)
- Theories (e.g., capitalism and communism)
- Figures (e.g., GDP in the United States and Britain)
- Texts (e.g., Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Macbeth)
- Events (e.g., the Great Depression and the global financial crisis of 2008–9)
