Exemplification

Exemplification writing uses specific, vivid examples for the purpose of adding more information to explain, persuade, define, or illustrate a general idea. ... By supplying specific examples, the writer adds additional who, what, when, where, why, and how information to elaborate on the main idea of a paragraph or essay.

But using exemplification has its draw backs by some times not having the examples or enough information about a topic for an essay or research paper being written about it.
