Definition by Example Essay: Rough Draft will be due Friday, 14 September 2018 WHY DEFINE? Communication depends on a common understanding of language and terminology. A discussion of complex concepts should often begin with definitions of basic terms. What is “democracy”? What is “progress”? Some critics claim rap is not music; to debate that assertion, one needs to define “music.” a dictionary definition is often not enough to explore the scope and significance of the term.  Clear definitions demonstrate a mastery of the subject; they require a writer to use thoughtful precision in choice of words and examples. To make a definition clear and concrete (rather than vague and abstract), one often needs to present examples of situations that demonstrate the nuances of the definition. In learning to develop a definition of a complex concept, you will develop the skills of analysis, clear thinking, and argument.  STRUCTURE: This essay should follow a four-paragraph format.
