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.

Relationship Between Self-Esteem and Academic Intellectual Performance
The research on the relationship between self-esteem and intellectual performance places a lot of emphases on the gap of achievement and is generally concerned with clearly identifying the factors which bring about differential intellectual results among the categories of ethnic. According to research work, much focus is given to eradicating the gap in the intellectual achievement in the academic life of various male and female students across the world. Research based on both Male and Female students has been able to show that, the expected rate of graduating from school for students with African origin studying in the US is around 53% on average (Antonio 1999). This is in comparison to a percentage of around 78% for students in the US with origin. American students African origin in several colleges complete their studies, which normally takes a period of four years, at about 25% rate below their counterparts having the European origin but studying in the US. This is seen as one of the slowest rate of completion compared with the other ethnic categories (Rosenthal, & Jacobson 2006).
