key idea

A topic is the subject or principal focus of your writing. The scope of a topic is the range of ideas that the topic covers. A topic with a broader scope is more general and covers a wider range of ideas. A topic with a narrower scope is more specific and covers a more limited range of ideas.

Topic 1: The impact of World War II on American society

Topic 2: The impact of World War II on American women

American society includes more than just women, so Topic 2 has a narrower scope.

Topics can be broad or narrow in scope, but narrow topics are generally easier to develop fully in your writing because they are more focused. Topics become narrower when you limit yourself to a particular aspect of the topic, such as a more specific time period, place, or group of people.
