What is Definition?

 

Ironically, the definition of the term “definition essay” is not very specific.  Definition essays are short pieces of writing on a particular topic.  However, not every essay on a topic can be properly labeled a definition essay.  Instead, a definition essay is an attempt to describe the topic thoroughly enough for the reader to understand it very well and might be compared to an encyclopedia entry for the topic.  Any of our example essays could provide a good start on a definition essay about the topic.  However, we have collected a sample of our best definition essays and included them below to help you explore the genre.

Constructivism and Classroom Curriculum Design in K-12
Introduction Over 1,100 curriculum books have been written since the turn of the [20th] century; each with a different version of what ‘curriculum' means (Ackerman, 1988). I define classroom curriculum design as the sequencing and pacing of content along with the experiences students have with that content. My use of the qualifier classroom is important. By definition, I am considering those decisions regarding sequencing, pacing, and experiences that are the purview of the classroom teacher. Some aspects of curricular design are addressed at the school level if, in fact, a school has a guaranteed and viable curriculum. Regardless of the direction provided by the school (or district), individual teachers still need to make decisions regarding curricular design at the classroom level given the unique characteristics of their students. Indeed, in a meta-analysis involving 22 studies, Anderson, (2003) found a strong relationship between a student's knowledge and experience with content and the type of sequencing and pacing necessary to learn that content (Jonassen, 2009).

The CSI Effect: Media's Impact on Law Enforcement
n the 21st century, from the average person to the media expert or professional, people are aware of the affects media has on culture. In the late 20th century, it was very popular for experts to blame certain kinds of music and certain kinds of film and television programming for the increasing acts of violence perpetuated by youth in America and around the world. Media Studies is a respected and reputed academic discipline. Media Studies is the science by which scholars and artists prove and demonstrate the variety of ways in which media affects perception. Film, television, and media in general affect the consuming public in various ways. Film and television can open audiences to new perspectives or inspire their imaginations. Film and television also fully retain the power to affect consuming audiences and other communities in a negative or unintentionally harmful ways. The television program "CSI" and thus the entire "CSI" franchise (Las Vegas, Miami, & New York City) have affected the law enforcement community in a confusing and mostly adverse way. The affect/effect that "CSI" has had on law enforcement and on audiences in general has been dubbed "The CSI Effect." This paper will discuss the CSI Effect and propose the manners in which the efficacy of the law enforcement community has changed because of it.

Colonial Discourse and the Hottentot in South Africa
Using the discourse analysis is a relatively new phenomenon. Linguistic theories have penetrated the humanities and social sciences in recent decades and offer an interdisciplinary alternative to historical inquiry. The attractiveness of this approach is fairly clear though there is a wide array of possible applications. Whenever you use language you are representing a particular discourse no matter how you try to avoid it. The extent of the level of control that an individual has over the discourse is definitely debated, however the discourse selected provides many insights into the social practices of any given time period. Several ideas can be teased out by examining what is included in the discourse, or not included, and this can reveal many aspects of society as well as individual perceptions.
