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.

Critical evaluation of FI's investment appraisal process for strategic decisions
The investment appraisal process at Fabrication International (FI) is divided into four distinct steps. This appraisal process reflects the values and concerns of top management that it seeks to realize during the decision making process. FI is marked by traditional expectations of doing business. It expects its long time customers to continue doing business with it irrespective of economic realities. This mindset has prevented the company from modernizing itself. Recently, the company decided to introduce a computerized welding system to bring in latest technology to its manufacturing processes. The investment decision also went through the same appraisal process that was used for the smaller scale projects the company had been dealing in up until the present.
