A definition is a generalization. It tells you what the concept is at an abstract level.
EXAMPLES OF DEFINITION
- "A cup is a container for liquids which has only one handle," is a definition of "cup." It is a generalization. If a picture were provided, then that would be an example.
- "A religion is an organization where its members share a common set of spiritual beliefs" is a definition of "religion." Naming a specific religion would be an example.
From a definition you should be able to generate any number of examples.
