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.

T.S. Eliot and Amy Lowell: Love and Religion in Modernist Poetry
This paper analyzes two American poems from the early part of the twentieth century: Amy Lowell's "Madonna of the Evening Flowers" and T.S. Eliot's "Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock." The emphasis is on the different handling of the traditional genre of love poetry. Lowell is understood as using religious imagery to approach the love poem and "make it new" (in Ezra Pound's words). Eliot by contrast uses effects of comedy and satire to create a collage-effect to renovate the idea of a love-poem. Conclusion describes Lowell's use of religious imagery as being the only available means whereby to approach writing a lesbian love-poem at the time of the First World War--to that extent, Lowell's poem is described as being more "shocking" and modern (despite its comparatively placid exterior) than Eliot's poem.

Descartes' Five Major Tenets of Cartesian Philosophy
This paper discusses Cartesian philosophy and how it applies to the modern-day approach to knowledge. Descartes was one of the most well-respected thinkers of his time, and he applied his special brand of logic to a wide-variety of disciplines, most notably mathematics and philosophy. The Cartesian approach to philosophy, like many approaches to philosophy, looked at the interaction of the mind and the brain. Were the mind and the brain one united organism, did they interact with one another, was one of them superior or more powerful than the other? All of those questions were critical to Descartes' explanation of the universe.

Promoting Diversity in Education: An HR Perspective
This paper examines the problem of diversity training and minority representation in the field of education. It argues that educational human resource professionals play a key role in promoting a multicultural teacher workforce and providing diversity training to practicing teachers. However, most of the current research on diversity-based HR initiatives applies to higher education. More attention needs to be given to diversity promotion and training in the k-12 setting.

Volunteering in a Korean Hospice: A Cross-Cultural Reflection
I am a 26 year old male community college student. I live in San Francisco, California, but was born in Korea and lived there until I was 22. I am an international student majoring in the Health Sciences. I decided that moving to the United States and pursuing my educational and career goals would offer me a chance to expand both personal knowledge and gain greater insight into a different cultural experience. Certainly, this has been the case. Not only are customs completely different in the United States, but communication and expectations are as well. While San Francisco is a major city, and at times crowded, it is nothing like the wall-to-wall experience of people in Asia. Additionally, I know from my studies that America is considered a large "melting pot," but I was certainly never prepared for there to be so many different ethnicities and diverse people all grouped together in one city. This, and other differences in the cultural and social lives of the city, caused me to think a great deal about events that changed my life.
