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.

Status and Class and How Class Uses
Bourdieux's article is insightful and has more than a grain of truth when he argues that the dominating class subdues and controls others by imposing upon them certain pejorative words that, in turn, cause them to perceive themselves and act that way. His article explains a lot of conditions in the sociological arena. On the other hand, it may equally be argued that rhetoric is a tool that is used across the board by institutions, groups, individuals, countries, regardless of socio-economic prowess – in their attempt to threaten and reduce the threat of others. One religious group (particularly a fundamentalist sect) uses it against another all the time; countries fight their wars with this rhetoric; corporations (and individuals) humiliate their competitors with this rhetoric. Rhetoric is a tool, in other words, that transcends groups and classes.
