Difference between
Curriculum and Syllabus
Curriculum is a focus
of study, consisting of various courses all designed to reach a particular
proficiency or qualification. For instance some high schools offer a college-prep
curriculum, which is designed to prepare a student for the rigors of college
study. Emphasis will be on the humanities (history, English, etc.) and sciences
(biology, math, chemistry, physics, etc.). On the other hand, some high schools
offer a vocational-prep curriculum, which includes specific skill-building
courses (cosmetology, construction trades, electronics, computer science,
etc.).
A syllabus is simply an
outline and time line of a particular course. It will typically give a brief
overview of the course objectives, course expectations, list reading
assignments, homework deadlines, and exam dates. It is typically available on
the first day of a college course, and a student is expected to know what is in
the syllabus throughout the course. The purpose of the syllabus is to allow the
student to work their schedule for their own maximum efficiency and
effectiveness. It helps to avoid conflicts with other courses, and it prevents
someone from accusing a professor of unfairly adding assignments mid-term.
Difference Between Jihad and Terrorism
Jihad is an Islamic
term used to describe one's duty towards Islam. Terrorism on the other hand is
the act of trying to instill feelings of terror in the general population by
acts or deeds.
Jihad as per Islam
stands for struggle. This struggle can be to protect one's country, religion,
family, or to save someone else's life. Jihad can even be one's struggle to
make himself a better human being. This has been called as the greater
jihad by some. Terrorism, however, is never to protect. The sole purpose of
terrorism is to cause enough harm, pain and agony to someone to make him feel
insecure. The word Terrorism would normally be used when referring to
systematic episodes of mass destruction or killings. It would not be
normally used to petty crimes. It has nothing to do with religion as neither
Islam nor any other religion in the world preaches destruction and killings.
Terrorism is often
fueled by materialistic or territorial goals generally with no regard to
religion whereas a jihad is the struggle in the path of god and has no other
goal apart from this.
Terrorism is
always directed towards the killing of innocent civilians and may be by way of
explosions, attacks, etc, while, jihad is not permitted against innocent.
Both these terms are
vastly misused. While politicians the world over have often discredit their
political rivals by calling or classifying them as terrorists and their
struggles as terrorism, terrorists on the other hand have always tried to
justify their acts and deeds by calling and categorizing them as jihad,
however, there is no reference in Islam or any other religion where jihad
justifies the killing of innocent people or damage to property.
Summary
1. Jihad is the term
used to describe one's duty towards Islam while terrorism is an act committed
to instill fear in the population.
2. Jihad need not
always be violent however terrorism is always violent.
3. Jihad is always
performed for God, while terrorism always has materialistic goals.
4. Terrorism is always
directed to harm innocent civilians while Jihad does not permit this.
Difference Between Fruit and Vegetable
A fruit is
the matured ovary of a plant, which means that it contains seeds, while a vegetable
is a plant part, which does not contain seeds, although some vegetables may be
used in plant reproduction.
Some examples of fruits
include well-known specimens like apricots, cherries, blueberries, and apples,
but tomatoes, pumpkins, cucumbers, and zucchini are also considered to be
fruits botanically, even though many people refer to these fruits as
“vegetables” because they are savory, rather than sweet. This is the result of
convenience labeling used in the grocery industry, where fruits and vegetables
are differentiated on the basis of whether they are sweet or savory, rather
than with the use of any firm botanical criteria
A vegetable, on
the other hand, is simply a plant part like a flower, stem, root, or leaf. Broccoli,
for example is a vegetable which appears in the form of a flower, while celery
is a stalk vegetable, and celeriac is a root vegetable. Vegetables like
potatoes are technically tubers, not roots, meaning that they are specially
designed plant structures which store nutrients for the parent plant; tubers
are also capable of budding into new plants. Some examples of leaf vegetables
include spinach, cabbage, and lettuce
Difference Between
Brand and Product
In
marketing, product is anything that can be offered to the market that
may satisfy the need, want, and demand of a certain individual or market. It is
also called as goods or service. Product is more than just a material object.
It is also an inclusive package of benefits or satisfactions that the consumer
or buyer may achieve upon purchase or usage. A product is the total amount of
all physical, psychological, symbolic, and service attributes. Several examples
of products are the following: hamburger, fries, and soft drink.
On the other
hand, brand is a symbolic manifestation of all the information
connected with a company, product, or service. A brand is typically composed of
a name, logo, and other visual elements such as images, colors, and icons. It
is believe that a brand puts an impression to the consumer on what to expect to
the product or service being offered. In other application, brand may be
referred as a trademark, which is legally an appropriate term. In summary, a
'brand' is a symbol of a product (Coca-Cola), service (Eurostar trains),
company (Campari) or even an individual (Michael Jordan) to identify what it
is. Specifically, an example of brand is McDonald's fast food restaurant, which
carries the world's most popular Golden Arches.
Difference between CV
and Resume
The primary differences
between a resume and curriculum vitae (CV) are the length, what is included and
what each is used for. A resume is a one or two page summary of your skills,
experience and education. While a resume is brief and concise - no more than a
page or two, Curriculum Vitae is a longer (at least two page) and more detailed
synopsis.
A Curriculum vitae
includes a summary of your educational and academic backgrounds as well as
teaching and research experience, publications, presentations, awards, honors,
affiliations and other details. In Europe, the Middle East, Africa, or Asia,
employers may expect to receive curriculum vitae.

Difference Between
Reward and Award
Awards are tokens of
appreciation, which are given to individuals for their achievements. It can be called
as symbol of recognition to an individual for their personal achievements.
Rewards on the other hand are also recognition but it is a kind of
acknowledgment to an individuals contributions. Rewards can also be said to be
an encouragement to an individual.
Awards can also be
called as a prize that is given away to individuals for their noteworthy
activities. By getting an award, people approve that you have done something
great. Awards can come in form of commemorative plaques, medals, trophies, certificates,
titles, badges, pins and cash. Rewards most of time is associated with money or
a promotion or like that.
You may be rewarded for
finding and returning some one’s valuable things. The police normally give away
rewards on valuable information. Rewards can be termed as a compensation that
you get for helping others. But you only get award and not reward for writing a
novel. Well, the award can be called as a reward for an individual’s effort
Awards are publicly
presented. Rewards, on the other hand, are only private or personal affairs.

Difference Between Art
and Craft
Art is a form of work
that is the expression of emotions. Craft is a form of work, which results in a
tangible output.
Another thing that can
be seen is that one can create duplicate craft forms, which is not possible
with art. It can also be seen that art forms move people on an emotional level
whereas crafts attract people.
For example, a piece of
painting can create emotions in a person whereas a piece
of jewelery can be an attraction.
Unlike craft, art is
known to come out of the heart and soul. Crafts come out of the mind and need
considerable practice to come out with world-class forms.
