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.

CLAS standards and their applications
CLAS Standards The widespread occurrence of Military Sexual Trauma requires an educational program to eliminate MSTs and deal with the difficulties created by MSTs that have or will occur. Some aspects of the victim, extended family, neighborhood and the Military itself can efficiently establish and enhance this educational program. Simultaneously, other aspects of the victim, extended family, neighborhood and the Military itself pose problems for this educational program. An effective educational program will have to use the positive perceptions, enablers, nurturers and positive aspects of cultural empowerment. At the same time, this educational system will have to overcome negative perceptions and negative aspects of cultural empowerment, while acknowledging the existential factors that cannot be changed. In adopting a zero tolerance of MSTs and exploring factors that will increase the awareness and sensitivity of its personnel, the Military clearly performed the groundwork for this difficult but vital educational program.
