Question

1. Explain the types of disputes and provide an example each.

2. Explain any four types of definitions you know

Answer 1

1) Criminal cases

In a criminal case, a person is prosecuted on behalf of the State by the police or a government prosecuting body, such as the Director of Public Prosecutions. If a court finds a person guilty of a crime, the court can impose a sentence (or penalty) on the offender, such as a fine, a community service order, a bail, or a jail term (imprisonment). The law usually establishes a maximum punishment for the offense, and the court then chooses a sentence that is both within the maximum punishment and commensurate to the crime involved.

Civil cases

A civil case is a disagreement between individuals (or between an individual and the government) about the individuals' or organizations' rights or obligations. In a civil lawsuit, one party seeks a remedy of some type from another in order to resolve a disagreement between them. Examples include : issues related to finances, defamation, family law.

2) Ostensive definitions

Definitions by example are ostensive definitions.A quotation from Euthyphro, a friend of Socrates, who said, "Piety is what I am doing, namely punishing a wrongdoer," is an example of such definitions that is frequently used in Introduction to Philosophy classes. It's worth noting that piety is an example of an intangible or abstract concept. Of course, ostensive definitions aren't confined to such situations: I could easily explain the meaning of the term "cup" by pointing to a cup, which would also be an ostensive explanation. Such definitions have the advantage of providing the inquirer with a literal example of the definiendum, which is typically , but not always preferable to none.

Stipulative definitions

They are definitions that are either neologisms (new terms) or define old terms in ways that are so distinct from common use that they nearly appear to be new terms (although strictly speaking, their meaning is what is new, rather than they themselves)

Analytical definitions

Mathematicians, Western philosophers, and scientists esteem analytical definitions the highest. The reason for this is that these definitions express the definiendum's necessary and sufficient circumstances — in other words, they perform what ostensive definitions intrinsically fail to achieve. Their strength in the West has long been regarded to be that if you offer a true analytical definition of a concept, you can be sure that the definiendum will be understood correctly. To put it another way, knowing the definiendum is required to correctly examine a notion (at least by Western standards).

Definition by synonym

This is what a synonym definition informs you. To put it another way, if you don't already have a very clear and solid knowledge of the term (or words) being used to describe the term you want defined, the definition will remain obscure or (to use a visual metaphor) "un-illuminated" for you. Definitions, on the other hand, might be extremely beneficial in situations when you already know the meaning of the term(s) used to describe the word you want defined.
