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.

U.S. Health Care System Is a Series
U.S. Health Care System In our uniquely American health care system, there are two basic models for the provision of health care. The Market Justice Model, which is the primary model in American health care, is based on the American notion of free enterprise and individual responsibility. Privately funded by insurance and/or cash payments, this model involves private practices and institutions providing health care to individuals. The model assumes that health care is like any other good or service that can most rationally be purchased by an individual with his/her doctor's assistance and with little or no governmental involvement. In sharp contrast to the Market Justice Model is the Social Justice Model, which regards health care as a unique system of basic goods and services to which every member of a society is entitled. The Social Justice Model of health care assumes that equitable health care requires significant government involvement, central planning and allocation of basic health services for which the individual's ability/inability to pay is irrelevant. Existing in American society in the forms of Medicare, Medicaid and Workers Compensation, the Social Justice Model necessarily involves significant governmental involvement on the Federal and State levels. Based on severely conflicting notions, Market Justice and Social Justice Models coexist uneasily in American Society, with Market Justice being the more dominant model at this time.
