Based on the image, what are the steps to conduct a comparison?

Steps to Conduct a Comparison:

1. Identify the objects (processes, phenomena) to be compared.
2. Mentally break down the object (process, phenomenon) into its constituent parts.
3. Identify the essential characteristics of the comparable objects (processes, phenomena).
4. Compare the comparable objects (processes, phenomena) based on the same criteria of similarity and difference.
5. Summarize the results of the comparison.

Note: The image also states that conducting a comparison is not simply describing objects or phenomena, but comparing their essential characteristics to determine what is common and what are the differences.
