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.

Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale: Purpose, Theory & Validity
The RSES considers the dual nature of self-esteem. On one hand it is a situational analysis of one’s place in the universe, on the other hand, a general one that combines specific estimates of the individual’s numerous and varied characteristics. The weight of each value depends on how important the particular characteristic is to the individual. For instance, how much each characteristic of the 10 items matters to the unique individual determines the validity for that individual client. Perceived reactions from others, particularly those closest to us, are an important element of the way in which we see ourselves, and thus are ranked appropriately on the test.
