"Juxtaposition Juxtaposition is an act or instance of placing two elements close together or side by side. This is often done in order to compare/contrast the two, to show similarities or differences, etc. Juxtaposition in literary terms is the showing contrast by concepts placed side by side. An example of juxtaposition are the quotes ""Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country"", and ""Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate"", both by John F. Kennedy, who particularly liked juxtaposition as a rhetorical device. Jean"
"assertion that America is willing to negotiate with its adversaries ""not because we are naïve about the dangers we face, but because engagement can more durably lift suspicion and fear"" was reminiscent of Kennedy's words that ""civility is not a sign of weakness … Let us never negotiate out of fear.

In 1961, Kennedy initiated the creation of Peace Corps, Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, and Alliance for Progress.
