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.

Understanding Civil Society Through Legalize Marijuana Organizations
Understanding Civil Society through "Legalize Marijuana" Organizations Collective action groups have garnered considerable interest by social researchers due to the groups' reflection of processes in civil society and unique use of those processes. Researchers have found that a group's framing processes, resource mobilization and political opportunities processes are essential dynamics of the group. Through complex, ideally adaptable and sometimes overlapping processes, these groups are born, flourish, and sometimes necessarily survive internal and external challenges by framing and reframing themselves, mobilizing resources for their survival and their work, and benefitting/suffering from political processes. NORML, the national association devoted to the legalization of marijuana, has successfully followed the necessary steps for effective collective action groups and has consequently adapted, expanded and survived difficulties to achieve some goals and redefine others. As a result of NORML's successful group processes, it is currently a nationally powerful and effective force.
