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.

South Korea's extra points system for military service veterans
There is a compulsion for men to work in the army in South Korea. The veterans have been provided an extra point system that would qualify them for civilian jobs after they are cashiered. This system provides a distinct advantage for the men who are applying for work in the civilian sector and is also beneficial for them. This model is followed for men in the same footing as in the US. While in the US the issues addressed are not only employment but also other facilities like health and social security. As far as South Korea, is concerned it is a growing economy with competition in the civil jobs both from the civilian population and also from the immigrants who come in search of work. Moreover the society has changed with feminine activism and more women entering the work market. The discharged soldier is at a disadvantage unless he is given some weight because of adaptation issues. These issues are somewhat addressed by the extra point system. Thus taking away the system will create hardship for those who are compulsorily commissioned and would create a situation where they are likely to fail in civil life with attendant consequences. This paper thus argues that the government in South Korea should add extra points system for those who served the military service.
