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.

Has TSA Physical Searches Violated Personal Privacy Laws?
This essay examines whether or not the TSA has violated privacy laws. It is difficult to answer this question directly, because the TSA's privileged position means that it is unlikely to face prosecution under the most applicable laws, such as those concerning sexual assault or battery. Instead, it seems likely that one of the myriad lawsuits against the agency will make its way to the Supreme Court, and barring any exceptional ruling, the TSA will be found to have been in violation of at least some of the protections afforded by the Constitution.
