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.

Venus in Renaissance Painting

Sandro Botticelli's 1486 painting "The Birth of Venus" and Titian's 1520 painting "Venus Anadyomene" are two of history's most remarkable works depicting the Roman goddess. While the former is meant to address Venus' birth directly, the latter only hints at the event, as it is difficult to determine whether or not Titian actually wanted to portray the goddess' birth or if he simply wanted to show her rising from the sea consequent to having a bath. Botticelli's painting is displayed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy and Titian's painting is located in the National Gallery of Scotland in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Practice and skill development fundamentals

The profession of social work in the United States has a long history of being attacked by pro-industrialization forces. The Settlement House Movement, with its grassroots, group style approach to combating poverty met with hostility shortly after it was founded. Allegations of subversive ideals, the professionalization of social work, and the rise of McCarthyism drove most of the progressives underground until the 1960s. Although the caseworker approach, with its emphasis on a supposed link between character defects and poverty, became dominant, there are still many contemporary examples organizations fighting against poverty and other human rights violations without bias.
