The term similarity refers to that characteristic that allows establishing how similar or similar two are autonomous entities, that is, similarity is that common quality that we can find between objects and people.
Family factors or pure chance
When the similarity is found between people, it may be due to a casual matter, that is, two people who do not have blood ties or other ties in common are physically alike and clever. Or there are blood ties that make an individual look a lot like another with whom he is linked by them. Obviously this last situation is the most common and no one would be surprised by it because it is the biology the one that allows it, however, when the similarity occurs between people who do not even know each other, if it is certainly curious and causes astonishment.
For example, when two siblings, without being twins or even twins, present physical traits such as: nose, hair, height, among others, or failing that with regard to character and
personality, almost, almost the same conditions, the word similarity is usually used to account for this similarity that exists between the two.Meanwhile, they do not necessarily have to be members of a family To talk about similarity, many times it happens that we meet a person who bears an incredible similarity with another with whom he does not share any blood bond and even more, they do not even know each other, as we indicated above. Let's think of a friend ours who incredibly has no blood connection to a very famous Hollywod actor but physically they turn out to be identical. This fact is undoubtedly amazing and there are many in the whole world, who have not known one ...
Same creative hands in the likeness of objects
Meanwhile, when the similarity is between objects, it can be in terms of size, color or shape. For example, "the color of the neighbor's car is similar to that of my friend Juan."
Many times when several products or objects are manufactured by the same company it is possible to find certain similarities in them. It may even happen that the person responsible for the design of an object today work for one company and tomorrow for another and then when designing, your creative brand is so present that it is possible to find the similarity in another article.
Similarity of geometric figures
What's more, The term similarity has a special presence at the request of the math, since in this context it is applied when referring to the geometric figures and specifically when they are different in size but not in shape, being the same similar. We will speak of similarity of triangles when two triangles have a similar shape. Two triangles will be similar, that is, a similarity situation will be established between them, if their angles are equal two to two.
Religion: created in the image and likeness of God
And in addressing this concept we cannot ignore the relevance that the concept has had historically in religion. as regards the all-important fact surrounding the creation of man and woman by God. In the Bible, in the book of Genesis, it is exposed that God created the human being in his image and likeness, a fact that he has given the guideline to believers that God is similar to us even though he has not seen it with his own eyes.
