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.

Leicester's development from Roman fort to Medieval city
Leicester Development in the Medieval Ages Leicester provides an excellent example of fort-settlement-town-city development through the Medieval Ages. Controlled at different stages by the Romans, Anglo Saxons, Danish and, of course, Great Britain, Leicester shows the combined contributions, primarily of the Romans, Anglo Saxons and British in its development. Realizing the importance of these contributions, the University of Leicester has undertaken various archaeological projects to continually learn about the city's Medieval development and the Leicester City Council has undertaken a considerable preservation project. While some aspects of Leicester's Medieval development remain mysterious, these projects have uncovered and continue to examine as many aspects of Medieval life as possible, including but not limited to architecture, literature and social constructs of Medieval Leicester.

Self-concept and professional identity in nursing practice
Self-assessment related to nursing: My identity has certainly changed since I became a nurse. I think it has changed for the better. I have become more confident due to the realization that so many people rely on me for meeting their needs. My locus of control has also improved due to the recognition that I have been able to master and practice knowledge that, at one time, I thought impossible. I am constantly improving my communication skills and ability to work in stress and deal with various people. I like that. Nursing is a stressful and change-producing profession. It sometimes makes me ornery with people. That is something that I need to work on.
