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.

Navajo subsistence practices from prehistoric times to modernity
The Navajo walk a fine line between preserving the old ways and making their way in modern society. This is the conundrum faced by many Native American tribes, as well as other traditional cultures that make up modern American Society. There is a growing concern over loss of the old ways and loss of identity as a people in the Navajo nation. Ethnographers have taken a particular interest in the Navajo since the early 1990s; for fear that someday the only place traditional Navajo Society will exist is in academic journals. This is a sad state of affairs, but nonetheless in reality that we must all face. This study points out the harsh reality of the imminent loss of traditional society and values among the Navajo people. It is hoped that bringing this issue to light will result in a resurgence of interest in traditional ways, if not only in the interest of keeping the Navajo culture a part of the American fabric.
