What is Contrast?

Like a compare and contrast essay, a contrast essay asks you to choose two or more items and ideas and write about them. However, instead of highlighting similarities between the two things, a contrast essay will describe how they are different. It is important to note that, in order to have an effective contrast essay, there must be some similarities or shared middle ground between the things being contrasted. A contrast essay that focused on the differences between a roller skate and the planet Jupiter would contain a lot of contrast, but would be almost incoherent. However, a contrast essay that focused on the differences in Earth and Jupiter would start from the point where they are similar (planets in the same solar system) and then highlight differences.

The First and Second Reconstructions: Civil Rights in America

There were two Reconstructions in American history, although the first one in 1865-77 ended with restoration of home rule and white supremacy in the South, rather than the equal citizenship and voting rights promised in the 14th and 15th Amendments. Black leaders like Frederick Douglass and Martin Luther King made a case that the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and the U.S. Constitution did form a basis for extending the same natural rights to all human beings, even if that had not really been the intent of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.

Public Perceptions of Police Misconduct Along Racial Lines

The public and police have always had an uneasy relationship within the United States, but this is most evident when considering racial minorities. The ‘third degree' interrogation methods in widespread use at the beginning of the 20th century disproportionately victimized the poor, young, and minorities. Close to 135 victims of the Chicago Police Torture ring, which existed between 1972 and 1991, were African Americans. However, the emergence of citizen journalists armed with video-capable cell phones, voice recorders, and cameras, are fighting back. This essay examines the divisions along racial and generational lines concerning police misconduct.
