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.

Debating Technology Society and the Environment
Technology, a very familiar phenomenon of modern world, is continuously enhancing its ways towards comforts and luxuries. New thoughts and ideas are coming with every passing second, and what started as only a blurred vision, now became a necessity for all mankind. These have become a need of today's society making the society very much involved in these technological reforms. Several debates have been made on the topic that although the level of our technology keeps on improving day by day, but do all of these hi-tech gadgets give us the proper advantages? Are we really aware of the two different sides of the same mirror, or are we just so much accustomed to all such things around us that we don't bother to look upon the other side? Amongst these debates, two of the very famous are classical McDermott vs. Mesthene debate of 1960s and contemporary debate of Joy vs. Brown/Duguid in the start of 21st century. In this essay, the compare and contrast between these two debates will be presented along with the work of James Burke in this regard.

Wild Type and Lac Operon Mutant Strains of the Bacterium Escherichia Coli
The discovery of the lac operon helped build the foundation upon which modern day genetics is built. Encoded within the genomes of E. coli, the lac operon is required for lactose metabolism. In turn, lactose is required to activate the lac operon to full levels of expression. Mutations in the various components of this regulatory system can be thus discriminated by culturing mutant strains on different growth media. This report examines how lac mutant strains can be phenotyped and genotyped.

Gaining Insight Into System One
This is an essay on System One and Two (Kahneman). System One is the instinctive primitive system that compels biased subjective thinking. It is the type of thinking that is prejudicial and irrational but happens so fast and subconsciously that I am unaware of it. System One is the system that is unhelpful for researchers and is the type of thinking that we wish to avoid. Recognizing that my instinctive split-second decision making shares these characteristics will make me all the more conscientious of trying to avoid it. We have a tendency moreover to assert that we are not biased, non-prejudicial, and so forth. Awareness of this ripple of instinctive reaction that is hardly, if at all, registered by us can make us think otherwise. It may be, after all, that we are subjective and judgmental even without our realizing it. Knowledge of this dual system, can, consequently, help us in our research by making us less smug about our alleged objectivity and by making us more careful to be as objective as possible.
