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.

China's Politics, Culture, and Their Impact on Social Order
In spite of the fact that it has experienced much economic progress in the recent years, China has managed to maintain it political ideology and many of its cultural values. Globalization has only had a limited effect on China when compared to other countries and this is most probably owed to the fact that the state focused on its background as a means to experience evolution. It is difficult to analyze China from the perspective of someone looking at recent events that the country has experienced. It is thus essential to consider China's history previous to communism in order to try and understand current dealings in the country. Patience is one of the most important concepts that one needs to address the topic of how China's cultures and politics affect each-other and how they both affect social change in the country.

Géricault's Raft of the Medusa as Political Critique
The Raft of the Medusa portrays the historical events of the titular raft, when 147 passengers were cut loose on a makeshift raft. By analyzing the painting in the context of the Bourbon restoration, one can see how the painting is a kind of commentary on the political context of the time, and especially France's colonial endeavors. The painting forces the viewer to consider the violence upon which the state is built while refusing to allow the viewer to escape into notions of a hopeful future.
