Definition: The act or an instance of violating or the condition of being violated.

Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look! Today we’re tackling a word that might sound a little stern – “violations.” Now, the dictionary gives you a good start, doesn't it? "The act or an instance of violating...or the condition of being violated." Let’s break that down with a little rhyme: “Violations” mean to break the rules, you see, A breach of standards, for you and me! Think of it like this: if there's a rule about keeping quiet in class, and someone shouts out loud - that’s a violation. Or maybe a building has rules about safety, and someone doesn’t follow them – that's also a violation. It’s not necessarily about being naughty; it simply means something goes against an established agreement or law. It can be a single event – one instance of breaking the rule - or it could describe a situation where something is consistently not following guidelines. Does that make sense? Do you have any questions about what "violations" mean and how they show up in our world?
