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.

Kahneman's dual-process theory and research bias awareness
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.
