Juxtaposition

Juxtaposition, what is it all about?
Juxtaposition refers to the use of dissimilar terms, concepts, or images in order to contrast their varying (or opposite) attributes. This may be used for ironic effect, to create surprise or humor, or to stimulate the imagination.Juxtapositions can be of various forms, involve various aspects, such as:
- people’s expression and body language- social aspects, generational aspects …- “semantic” i.e. associating elements that belong to the same idea.- writings (e.g. from billboards or any street signs)- shapes and patterns- color- etc…
Also juxtaposition can set a mood, which can range from humorous to tragic. Also sometimes it might serve some social or political commentary.

There's some examples of juxtaposition that can be seen in life:
