Technical definitions provide the users with critical
information that is essential to understanding
particular terms that are being defined. Technical definitions make it easy for all users to learn and
clearly understand terms. They act as a guideline. Although terms are define in one form, there could
be multiple definitions that coincide with the same term. With technical definitions, the term is
broken down and defined according to the method in which the term is used. According to Lannon
(2008) technical definitions are associated with legal aspects, they hold certain ethical value, and help
with the general population to have a clear definition (Lannon, 2008). Terms must be truthful and not
misleading to be truly effective.

A term that I am highly affiliated with is OPNAV or
Operational Navy. For my particular job it sets
the regulations and instructions as to how the facility to be operated and ran. Being that I work in a
Child Development Center or a military installation, we are required to follow the rules that are
presented to us by the Navy, in addition to outside childcare regulations. In the civilian world, they do
not have to follow the extra instruction because they are not associated with the navy.

The OPNAV manual is provided freely throughout the center
and is studied during the mandatory
trainings that are done twice a month. It is divided into sections that are identified by numbers, such
as 9.2 or 1500.4. The numbers signify different instructions and the .1 or .4 demonstrates revisions to
a particular instruction. It is important to understand that this manual is necessary to provide the
workers with the proper instructions on how to run a facility on a naval installation.
