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.

Divorce and single parent families

Whilst both Popenoe (1993) and McClanahan document and lament the decline of the ‘healthy family setting with Popenoe (1993) insisting that children are, consequently suffering from emotional and social needs and McClanahan correctly – according to some (but not all) studies – pointing to the repercussions of single parent homes that impact children's academic and vocational skills, amongst other factors, I think both authors may have some points but err in generalizing and adopting an undifferentiating and simplistic perspective.
