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.

Community Health Oklahoma Modern Healthcare
Health wise, Oklahoma is a conundrum. It was the 21st largest recipient of medical funding from the federal government in 2005; almost $76 million in immunizations, bioterrorism preparedness and health education being the top areas of focus. However, the rest of the state ranks above the US in the percentage of people with asthma, diabetes, cancer, and hypertension. Even Oklahoma's own Health Department acknowledges that strokes, heart disease, diabetes and chronic lower respiratory diseases are more prevalent in Oklahoma at higher than national average rates – primarily because of the dual issues of obesity and tobacco use. These statistics, in fact, result in a much higher total mortality rate than for the rest of the nation.
