Abstract
This paper analyzes the theme of Royall Tyler's play "The Contrast."

From the Paper
"Royall Tyler's play "The Contrast" was the first performed American play and as such its theme is distinctly American. At a time when the country was struggling to carve out a national identity, Tyler articulated what American character truly was and why the nation could be proud of its distinct culture. By utilizing the genre of comedy and satire he was able to point out the pretentiousness of the European lifestyle, while illustrating the superiority of America's more simple ways."

From the Paper
"Echo Park Lake has always had a special place in my heart, maybe more so now as I grow a little older than it did when I was a child. Today, gazing upon the lotus plants, the palm trees, the skyline of downtown Los Angeles in the background, I am reminded of something that happened to me when I was very young - something that changed the way in which I look at life and at people as a whole. I was six years old when I met "Sam," an elderly gentleman who often sat at one of the park benches and just seemed content to throw crumbs to the..."

Abstract
This essay will discuss, compare, and contrast two approaches to psychotherapy: psychoanalysis and cognitive therapy. These two approaches are profoundly different, and so it is reasonable to think that one of them is closer to the truth, and thus might be expected to be more effective as a therapy. It will be shown that this is indeed the case. This essay will discuss, compare, and contrast two approaches to psychotherapy: psychoanalysis and cognitive therapy.

Abstract
In this paper, a comparison ad contrast of the traditional and modern Hippocratic oath has been evaluated n one of Horn's thought experiments within the text. Nurse Y provides an example of the modern Hippocratic oath and of the values of the moral rights of the individual in caring for the patient. While Dr. Z represents the Hippocratic oath through a more organizational and traditional adherence due to the suggested reprimand of Nurse Y, the moral action guidance of the situation should be resolved by respecting the rights of the nurse and reevaluating the context of the ethical relationships between the two parties.

Abstract
The following paper will compare and contrast Dickens' Estella in Great Expectations and Mary Shelley's Monster in Frankenstein and argue that both were creatures created by other humans for the sole desire of satisfying the needs of those other beings. While one could maintain that Victor Frankenstein's conduct is more grotesque than Miss Havisham's in the sense that he does not have the excuse of mental illness to fall back on, there is little question that both individuals have put themselves before their creations in a way that has crippled the ability of Estella and the monster to have normal lives. The end result, of course, is high tragedy.

Abstract
The paper points out several contrasts in the novel "Crime and Punishment" by Fyodor Dostoevsky between the physical nature of the crime and the psychological nature of the punishment, between action and thought, between religion and philosophy, between solitude and interpersonal connections and between knowledge and ignorance. The paper also highlights the duality in the novel concerning the concept of morality itself.

From the Paper
"The relationship between thought and action also relates to the contrast between religion and philosophy. The first is built on faith, tradition, and community, whereas the latter is built on logic, doubt and questioning, and is highly individual. Raskolnikov embodies the philosophical mind, while Sonia embodies the more religious spirit. The contrast between philosophy and religion is key to the concepts of immorality and redemption in the novel; though Sonia is forced to prostitute herself, her religious convictions leave her appearing as a fully righteous character and promise eventual redemption. Raskolnikov attempts to subscribe to a philosophy that excuses and even exalts his crime, but is tormented by guilt and is convinced he deserves damnation. The epilogue even hints that Sonia is a direct cause of his worldly salvation, as her presence in the town leads to a lightened workload for the prisoner (Dostoevsky Epilogue I).
"There is a certain duality in the novel even concerning the concept of morality itself. It is somewhat ironic that, although Dostoevsky seems to suggest that a pure faith is more useful than a muddied philosophy, he uses Crime and Punishment to elucidate his own philosophy of morality through the various contrasting events in the novel that explore the topic. Morality seems to be determined by motive far more than action; even the original murder of Alyona Ivanovna is displayed as somewhat acceptable; it is motivated by productive intentions and carried out purposefully. But "fear gained more and more mastery" over Raskolnikov after the "second, quite unexpected murder" (Dostoevsky I.7). This murder is even more immoral because it has no purpose beyond simply concealing the first murder. It is unplanned and unreasoned, and that is one of the main reasons it is the more immoral of the murders."

Abstract
The paper relates that Charles Dickens's novel "Hard Times" is essentially a novel about ideas, played out in the lives of the Gradgrind family. The paper discusses how the fundamental idea that is explored is the stark contrast between two very different value systems: on the one hand, the then modern practice of placing value in rationalism and utilitarianism; on the other hand, the more traditional and humane practice of placing the highest value in imagination and sentiment. The paper analyzes how the novel makes repeated use of contrast, in metaphors and imagery, to illuminate and underline this fundamental contrast.

Abstract
The paper compares Bruce Catton's work, "Grant and Lee: A Study in Contrasts" and Russel Baker's essay, "A Nice Place to Visit" and asserts that both follow the comparison and contrast format of writing exceptionally well. The paper explains that where Catton seeks to impart his clearly defined passion and excitement for his subject, Baker wants us to share in his sarcastic assessment of Toronto as being clean and polite and thus boring. The paper posits that both works succeed in engaging the reader, although Baker's assessment has a problem that it requires the reader to take his side.

From the Paper
"Comparison and contrast essays serve a very distinct point - to show the differences and similiarities between individuals, groups, places, songs, etc. Within the structure of these essays, we find that there are two major methods of comparison: the subject-by-subject and the point-by-point. Within these two methods are also several different styles that authors employ. Bruce Catton's work, "Grant and Lee: A Study in Contrasts" takes a very serious and well balanced look at the two primary military generals of the U.S. Civil war."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that to improve consumer relationships and gain an advantage over its competitors, a company may address any or all of the following areas: process design, distribution channels, branding, advertising strategies, or simply change the product that is offered. The writer looks at hospitals in comparison to McDonald's and notes that because both companies provide such different services, it might be assumed that hospitals and McDonald's would adopt very different strategies in all of the above areas when dealing with organizational waste. After all, McDonald's sells artery-clogging burgers while hospitals are responsible for the well-being of their patients. Furthermore, the writer points out that McDonald's is a commercial venture, offering a service that consumers expect to be consumed quickly and easily, while patients expect more personalized attention from organizations such as hospitals. However, when reforming problematic and costly lags in providing care for their core consumers, both McDonald's and hospitals have come to a similar discovery. The writer maintains that both have found that placing consumers in the driver's seats, and making individual needs, rather than predetermined standard operating procedures the most important aspect of the organization's method of service, can be the most effective way to implement change.

From the Paper
"Thus, McDonald's learned from its competition, and created a made-to-order system, whereby sandwich ingredients were assembled, but sandwiches were not prepared until an order was actually submitted by a customer. This allowed for more product variation and prevented declines in quality during the day, and it also allowed for more flexibility in different markets. The food did not rest for long periods of time, and because consumer customization was expected, the time to service an individual customer actually decreased, rather than increased. Thus McDonald's shifted to a 'pull' system, originally perfected by Burger King, the architects of the slogan that the chain would do it 'your way,' as opposed to the more generic, family-focused advertising of McDonald. Of course, McDonald's was quiet about its adoption of its rival's processing innovation. McDonald's might argue that in terms of its philosophy, essentially, McDonald's was putting its customers first and viewing them individual customers rather than as projected statistics plotted on a demand curve."
