About This Topic

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.

Reshaping the Sensory Environment Sensory Accuracy Survival
Multisensory information is processed by the central nervous system to determine an accurate representation of the environment. The survival of an organism will depend on how effective this strategy is. The greatest weight is given to sensory cues that have a history of being reliable in a given environmental situation, and for many creatures, including humans and owls, the default sensory reference is vision. However, in situation where visual information is minimal or too noisy, other sensory inputs will be give greater weight. Discrepancies between two sensory inputs can also be modified to increase accuracy and with enough time, the brain will rewire the relevant connections. Sensory processing therefore depends on significant contributions from genetic determinants of nervous system function and sensory experience.
