topic
A topic (Greek topos, place) is a head of discourse. Since a topic for discussion is often stated in the form of a question, question has come to be extensively used to denote a debatable topic, especially of a practical nature — an issue; as, the labor question; the temperance question. In deliberative assemblies a proposition presented or moved for acceptance is called a motion, and such a motion or other matter for consideration is known as the question, since it is or may be stated in interrogative form to be answered by each member with a vote of "aye" or "no;" a member is required to speak to the question; the chairman puts the question. In speaking or writing the general subject or theme may be termed the topic, tho it is more usual to apply the latter term to the subordinate divisions, points, or heads of discourse; as, to enlarge on this topic would carry me too far from my subject; a pleasant drive will suggest many topics for conversation.

How to use topic in a sentence?
Roy Rochlin/Getty Images -RRB- Osmond:
Looking at the comments, [ Carey ] helped so many people deal with the topic of forgiveness. And thats huge, and like he said, if you carry that anger within you, it makes you sick and it just makes you an angry person.
I would be curious to see more research on this topic in particular, especially because so many people these days are being told by practitioners not to eat after certain times at night without there being much science to back up these arbitrary requests.
I don't think that it will necessarily hurt Trevor Noah to bash Trump because just about everyone seems to, especially in late-night but it's not going to help him in the long run, eventually the topic of Trump will lose its luster and then Noah is back to scrambling to find that thing that makes him connect with audiences.
As the world's leading advocate for human rights we call upon all governments to demonstrate the same level of transparency and accountability that the U.S. and our democratic partners practice, we are not above scrutiny; however, any HRC resolution on this topic that calls out countries by name should be inclusive, noting the many countries where racism is a problem.
We suspect that helicopter money was the topic to be discussed.
