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.

Racial Discrimination in South Africa and Its Impact on Social Work
This paper is about Racial Discrimination and How it Affects the People of South Africa and it's Impact on the Field of Social Work. The members of the black population working in the diamond and gold mines were treated like slaves, made to work at minimal wage (Allanson, Atkins, & Hinks, 2002) with poor working conditions (Johnstone, 1976). But it was the mineral revolution that produced immense economic transformation for the black population of South Africa in terms of discriminatory behavior. It produced the first large-scale oscillation of migrant labor, the job color bar, and the modern system of pass controls on labor, all of which remained entrenched in South Africa for almost a century.

Guernica vs. Liberty Leading the People: War in Art
By comparing and contrasting Pablo Picasso's Guernica with Eugene Delacroix's Liberty Leading the People, one is better able to understand and appreciate how the violence and horror of war comes to be legitimized and even celebrated when viewed through the lens of nationalism and popular demand. Both paintings deal with the aftermath of internal military conflicts, and use strikingly similar imagery to portray this aftermath, but they take decidedly different approaches to their topic. While both paintings offer important insights into the public and private reactions to their respective topics, viewing them together forces one to reconsider the standards by which violence and war are legitimized and even celebrated.
