A general topic refers to a broad subject area that encompasses various subtopics or themes. It serves as an overarching category under which more specific ideas, discussions, or research can be organized.

In an essay organized from general to particular, the most general information typically appears in the introduction. This section sets the stage by providing a broad overview of the topic, contextualizing the subject matter, and outlining the main themes or arguments. As the essay progresses, the information gradually narrows down to more specific details, examples, and analysis in the body paragraphs. This structure helps guide the reader from a wide perspective to a focused understanding of the topic.
