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.

Ethical Problem of Personally Identifiable
Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is any sort of information that identifies a person and that institutions and the government use for private and domestic concerns. The ethical problem inherent in PII is that unscrupulous individuals can abuse the concept robbing a person of their personal identity or, in other ways, using the PII to force the person to cooperate. It is extremely important, therefore, to safeguard the person's PII and the more vulnerable the individual the more important protection of PII becomes. Laws have been passed for PII protection but breaches persist. Recommendations, therefore, include passage of a new category of PII (PII 2.0) that more strictly defines PII and divides it into two categories enabling relevant institutions to beater identify the individual and to choose which data to include and which to exclude. These bits of data can also be placed along a spectrum. National and logistical matters necessitate that we be uniquely identified. Doing this can, however, be occasionally, harmful. Steps have been, and can continue to be taken, to guarantee a person's safety.
