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.

Equal Employment Opportunity, Title VII, and Religious Discrimination
As have seen, religious discrimination is a sticky issue. For employer's to head off many of these issues, it is necessary to be proactive by anticipating employee needs, facilitating their reasonable religious observances, giving them the information they need to realize what they need to do in the company to observe their beliefs, have consistent and transparent policies on the books and to do everything they can to reasonably accommodate the employees. If they can not do this, they should facilitate and promoted acceptable alternatives. To do this, managers and supervisors need to be trained to facilitate observance with EEO. When rationally administered, EEO regulations can make the workplace a more humane place to work in and increase employee contentment, morale and retention. This is a win-win situation for everyone and will facilitate seeing differences as company assets and not as liabilities.

Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands Dispute Between China and Japan
Senkaku / Diaoyu Islands Dispute Between China and Japan Introduction and History of the Islands The Senkaku Islands (also known as Pinnacle Islands and Diaoyu Islands) are composed of eight volcanic islands that are not inhabited and that have a relatively small land area of 6.2 square kilometers. The Japanese government claims the islands for Japan, while China also claims ownership of the islands. According to Seokwoo Lee, writing in the International Boundaries Research Unit (IBRU) publication, Territorial Disputes among Japan, China and Taiwan Concerning the Senkaku Islands (Boundary & Territory Briefing Vol. 3 No. 7), the islands are in the East China Sea about 200 kilometers northeast of Taiwan and 300 kilometers west of Okinawa (Lee, 2000, p. 2). Lee writes that during the 16th century travel accounts of Ming Dynasty envoys mentioned three of the islands (their Chinese names were Tiaoyutai, Huangweiyu, and Chihweiyu), which they visited on their way to the Ryukyu Islands. The Senkaku Islands were considered at that time to be the "…boundary separating Taiwan from the Ryukyu Islands" (Okinawa) (Lee, p. 2). After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-95 China agreed to "cede" Taiwan to Japan; the deal was made under the "Shimonoseki Treaty" (May, 1895).
