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.

Wetlands Regulation in USA
Wetlands are among the globe's most sensitive habitats. They balance delicately with their setting and are influenced by any shift in the atmosphere, local land use and water supply. Scores of wetlands occupy areas that can become useful and fertile agricultural fields if drained, and the pear recovered from these wetlands is economically valuable. The upshot is that wetlands are considerably vulnerable and fragile habitats. As the human population grows, claim for food production, land also increases, and so are the pressures placed on wetlands. These useful ecosystems will inevitably decline if people do not conceive and control them. In this regard, this paper reviews wetlands regulation measures in the United States. The paper offers a clear definition of wetlands, their economic, social and biological values besides highlighting the inclusion of wetlands in Clean Water Act jurisdiction. The paper also highlights the history of regulation of Wetlands tied to Clean Water Act, issues concerning wetland regulations, the inclusion of Commerce Clause into cases regarding wetland regulation by federal government, the enforcement of the CWA, and culminates with a coherent conclusion.
