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.

Racism, Segregation, and Inequality in Urban Public Schools
Massive institutional racism and structural inequalities still exist in the United States, especially in housing, public education and the criminal justice system in inner city areas. In every urban area, the quality of education available to poor and minority students is demonstrably worse by any measure than that of their white peers in the suburbs. This type of institutional discrimination is not caused by genetic or cultural deprivation but by the fact that the U.S. has always been and remains a highly segregated and unequal society based on race and social class. Of course, this violates the liberal, egalitarian and meritocratic ideals on which the nation was (supposedly), but after all, the U.S. managed to survive with slavery for almost a hundred years after its founding, and with legal segregation and disenfranchisement of blacks for a hundred years after that. Chicago, Detroit, East St. Louis, Camden, New Jersey all have crumbling public school systems serving mostly black and Hispanic students funded at levels far below those of white suburban districts.

Popper vs. Kuhn: Falsifiability and the Demarcation Problem
This paper explains Karl Popper's philosophy of science, and his notion of 'falsification.' A scientific theory, according to Popper, rests on empirical evidence and the fact that it has not yet been falsified. Popper's stringent definition of what constitutes science eliminates psychoanalysis and most social sciences from his definition of 'real science.' The paper then compares Popper's view with Kuhn's notion of scientific advances as culturally generated.

Constitutionality of Prison Postcard-Only Mail Policies
Correctional institutions have tried to implement inmate postcard-only mail policies to reduce staffing needs and contraband trafficking. The U.S. Supreme Court and lower federal courts have tended to give correctional authorities the benefit of the doubt when prisons restrict the Constitutional rights of inmates, in order to ensure prison security and the safety of inmates and prison staff. However, the Court has established a reasonableness test under Turner v. Safley (1987) when it comes to prison policies infringing upon inmate speech. This essay examines the Constitutionality of prison postcard-only mail policies and offers recommendations based on established jurisprudence.
