About This Topic

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.

Treatment of Women in Mad Men
The cultural forms examined through the television show Mad Men permits the viewer to interrogate and transform their conventional understandings of the forms (Stokes). The series is critically sophisticated and also historically knowledgeable about the period and the advertising industry (Stokes). The treatment of gender roles slips easily between irony and parody, increasing the viewers' enjoyment and easing some of the discomfiture that is inescapable in the viewing. The show is mythologized nostalgia more than a postmodern reflection of the conventions of the time. Certainly the show is meta-textual in both presentation and reflection of society, but it simultaneously highlights the Anglo-male centricity of the period. And it is through that lens that we come to understand the "treatment" of women.

Soviet and Russian Legal History: Origins to Modern Law
The relationship between Marxism and the Rule of Law is complex. What is clear, however, is that the Rule of Law was never a central organizing principle of Marxist thought or the socialist societies which it produced. In surveying the legal developments of the Soviet Union under Marxist ideology in comparison with the post-communist Russian Federation, this paper demonstrates that the role of the law has changed in the Eastern European countries.

Feminist Advocacy of a Social Issue in Contemporary Culture
Although there is not absolute consensus, popular writings about feminism suggest that there have been three waves of feminism: (1) The first wave of feminism is said to have occurred in the 18th through the 20th centuries and was characterized by a focus on suffrage; (2) The decades spanning 1960 to 1990 are said to encompass the second wave of feminism, to which a concern with cultural and legal gender inequality is attributed; and (3) The third wave of feminism began in the early 1990s partly in response to the conservative backlash the second wave engendered, and partly in recognition of the unrealized goals of the second wave of feminism up to that time. This third wave of feminism made salient a more subjective voice that pointed at the intersection of race and gender with greater resolve than would have been possible when civil rights issues garnered the lions' share of public attention.
