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.

Apple, Foxconn, and Corporate Social Responsibility in China
Corporate Social Responsibility Introduction Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a concept and a movement that many companies worldwide are embracing that relates to positive actions that go over and above the legal and financial duties of a company. CSR pertains to the social and environmental concerns in the community in which a given company operates, and in the communities that are linked to a given company. Moreover, when a company reaches out to the community and involves its workers in the betterment of that community – through volunteerism and other acts of generosity – CSR becomes a winning idea for the company's stakeholders (including customers, employees, board members and shareholders). According to the European Union's definition of Corporate Social Responsibility, one of the key goals is to "…identify, prevent and mitigate possible adverse impacts which enterprises may have on society" (www.europa.eu). In this paper the main subject concerns the seriously adverse impacts relating to the Foxconn company – which manufactures technology products for Apple in China. This paper takes the position that the terrible track record that Foxconn has shown cannot be sustained and Apple should sever its relations with Foxconn and bring its manufacturing operations back to the United States.
