good definitions

#3

In order to have or make a good definition everything should be clear so that the people reading it can understand what exactly the word or action means. One of the key points in having a successful definition is looking for different examples so that you have different ideas to make the definition. It is always important to look at different examples because as discussed in the other question, you never want to have a sentence or advertisement too vague. By having plenty of examples you can have a broader definition and other people reading it will be satisfied with the fact that the definition was interesting. A definition should also include words that actually make sense, and to have it apply clearly to each sentence rather than using random words that do not even go with the topic. Overall, I do not think that it is difficult at all to make a good definition, but mainly you just need to make it clear and understandable.

  1. I agree that when making a definition, it has to be clear and concise. I liked your explanation. I think you did a great job at explaining this idea from the text.
