Comparing the views of different authors and showing how they cite and evaluate each other

For most essays you will need to discuss your sources in relation to each other, showing how the views of different authors are similar or different. Below are some example sentences and word information that give you vocabulary for comparing sources that have similar, different or diverging views and information, and words and phrases for expressing contrast. Some of the example sentences have been adapted from sentences in the business ethics essay and other extracts from Part A.

In the example sentences, the key words or phrases are underlined, with words that have similar meanings separated by a / and words that have different meanings but that can be used in the same sentence structure separated by //.
