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.

Kuhn's paradigm shifts and scientific revolutions
Thomas Kuhn (1922-1996) was an American scientist, historian and philosopher who wrote a controversial book in 1962 called The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. This paper examines Kuhn's theory and its relevance to science as well as to the way humans learn and how culture is tied to the expression of knowledge through paradigm shifts. The scientific ideas of concept, theory and paradigm are examined, and examples are included that buttress the argument that Kuhn was correct in calling his theory a paradigm shift. Kuhn pushed the boundaries of experimentation as well as data collection and scientific methodologies that have been extrapolated into a number of fields from the social sciences to business and organizational modelling, and most especially how the philosophy of science continues to evolve.
