Analogical thinking

Analogical Reasoning
-Allows us to have the same relatable ideas
-Complicated concepts are better understood
-Its a skill, get better through practice
-Boost creativity

Analogies helps us to understand a concept through relations with subjects which we are more familiar with.

How can we explain a nanosecond in terms of analogies. One example shown in the video would be using light that travels at 186miles (299.338km) per second. And he shows a measuring tape representing the distance at which light travels in a nanosecond

Another example would be understanding more complicated words such as elitism. So what is elitism? Elitism is when a person regards himself as an elite. So what is an elite? A person who or by a group of people considering his or themselves as better beings than others.
