4. Ways in Explaining a Concept Concept Paper

5. 1. Definition is the method of identifying a given term and making its meaning clearer its main purpose is to clarify and explain concepts, ideas, and issues by answering the question, "What does it mean?" this mode of explanation contains the term to be defined and the detailed exposition of the term through the use of illustrations, examples, and description

6. TYPES of DEFINITION Informal definition – done through a parenthetical or brief explanation Example: Tocopherol (vitamin E) is naturally found in vegetable oil, fish, and nuts. Formal definition – explains a term by incorporating the term to be defined (species), the general category of the term (genus), and the quality that makes the term different from other terms in the same category (differentia) Example: Vitamin E is a light yellow fat-soluble vitamin that acts as an anti-oxidant. Extended definition – is a detailed way of defining a term and is usually composed of at least one paragraph.

7. 2. EXPLICATION is a method of explanation in which sentences, verses, quotes, or passages are taken from a literary or academic work and then interpreted and explained in detailed way in using this technique, you need to clearly present your thesis in the introduction and follow it up with a detailed analysis of a passage or text

8. Explication of “The Road Not Taken” The poem titled "The Road Not Token' by Robert Frost is about a man reflecting on a choice he once made. While the outcome of this choice is not implied to be positive or negative the speaker notes that the choice in itself and the consequences of that choice have made a huge difference in the way his life has unfolded. The poem is about the importance of choices. The poem begins with the speaker regretting that he could not have been two people so he could have at some point in his Life taken two roads instead of being confined to one. He looked as far as he could to see what was ahead on one of the roads he could have taken, but he was limited to seeing only as far as where it turned and disappeared in the bushes.

9. 3. Clarification is a method of explanation in which the points are organized from a general abstract idea to specific and concrete examples it entails the analysis of the concept by looking at the examples and specifying some of its characteristics to arrive at on working definition which can be used throughout the paper

10. Sample Clarification Text Justice is a broad concept which encompasses a wide set of ideas, most of which also branch out into smaller notions. For instance, it can refer to the sentencing of a criminal based on due process. When an individual gets what he deserves, even outside the hands of the law, it is also considered justice in some contexts. This may come in the form of vigilante justice, in which a person dissatisfied with the system doles out punishment to wrong-doers. Poetic justice is also another related concept which is used in literature to show how the good is always rewarded while bad forces always meet a grim end. In the context of this paper, justice will be clearly delineated into any instance in which the law is successfully and fairly applied to an individual, resulting in either an arrest or a release. To illustrate, if a thief is caught and tried in court through due process, and is found to be guilty and then sentenced accordingly, it can be said that justice was served. However, if the same thief is caught in the act by a band of villagers and was beaten right then and there, it will be considered justice in the context of the paper, as the process has not undergone due process.
