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.

The value of life: perspectives and philosophical definitions
What is the value of life? Well, this is theoretical, very general question may actually depends on whose life it is that you are talking about and how you define 'value'. Then again, it may be a meaningless question that may be rhetorical and a red herring since life may have no ‘value' or no ‘purpose' and may simply be that which the person makes it. Let's examine these questions from four different perspectives: the question itself (What is the value of life); whose life; religious perspective on the matter; sociological perspective on the matter. We will then proceed to examine the question from the perspective of diverse thinkers.

Feminist rhetoricians rethink women's voice and discourse community
Abstract In this paper, I intend to develop the foundations feminist ethnography using my political and social engagements with gender and hip hop politics and feminism. I argue that feminism is an important mechanism in fighting significant arenas that engages the aspects of power, identity, and political struggle by focusing mostly on those that fall on near the edge or those that exists at the very near end of global, social, economic, and political hierarchies and those that are socially secluded because they are voiceless in the society. The questions that follow are a means of empowering them, politically, socially and economically by giving them a chance to exercise their rights. In addition, I argues that gender, especially women should attain equal rights and justice, since feminine is not an element of weakness.
