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.

Work Disability in Small Firms Chapter II
This chapter of an ongoing dissertation reviews the literature most directly pertinent to the methods and problem statement from the previous chapter. While the analytical literature and official statistics describing workers with disabilities in the U.S. is vast and expanding, very few studies report statistics on workers with disabilities by firm size, and very few report statistics on workers with disabilities below the State level, whereas this dissertation tests hypotheses about workers with disabilities at the metropolitan statistical area level, in large and small firms. Therefore, the problem statement that there is a lack of information about this population is upheld here in Chapter II, and the results if interesting are located within the existing literature, from which this investigation draws methods and precedent.
