Example of an EXTENDED DEFINITION
I know many of you are struggling to understand what an extended definition is because it is necessary for your research paper.
To my best knowledge, this extended definition is to give your audience a background understanding of whatever topic you choose. I chose to write about a current event such as the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood "party" in Egypt and how that was working out in Egypt.
Therefore, I gave a brief summery of what was then the current situation so that in the actual research paper, the reader would know where I was coming from. If you are going to talk about smething complicated that needs to be known beforehand in order to understand your research paper, add it into your "extended definition"
However, in all available opportunities you may have, PLEASE see your professor to know espicifically what he/she may want from you. This is ONLY and example. Different Professors =Different Worlds/Different Brains & ways of thinking.
My topic was "Muslim Brotherhood: The Cause to Rising Civil Unrest in Egypt."

Extended Definition Paragraph for
Research Paper
Muslim Brotherhood: The Cause to
Rising Civil Unrest in Egypt.
The
Muslim Brotherhood “Party” which cannot be officially called that due to not
fulfilling requirements to
be recognized as thus, is now at the center of this current civil
unrest in Egypt. The members of this party also have double membership to an
organization founded in Egypt also known as The
Muslim Brotherhood, that although
given to charitable works, is also involved in dark and
devious goals. Al-Banna, the
founder of
The Muslim Brotherhood, said “It is the nature of Islam to
dominate, not to be
dominated, to impose its law on all nations and to extend
its power to the entire planet.”
There is no disguising what they are now planning and imposing on Egypt. Because
of its’
influential power over its’ members, one of whom is current President of Egypt Mohamed
Morsi,
The Muslim Brotherhood ‘Party’ is, therefore, in a sense governing Egypt through
the use of its’
puppet. Now, this ‘leading party’ is trying to establish laws in their favor despite
the Egyptian
citizen’s protests while neglecting them and the country. This reflects where the
Muslim
Brotherhood’s true intentions lie. Egyptians wanted a democracy, but according to The Free
Dictionary’s Encyclopedia The Muslim Brotherhood is against westernization which has a
lot to do
with the modernization that Egyptians want. What The Muslim Brotherhood ‘Party’
is giving them
instead through President Morsi is actually leading towards an Islamic
Republic like many of its’
other Arab neighbors, which Egyptians fear.
