Aspect -- Choose a
perspective or frame of reference through which you want to look at your topic.
Instead of writing on "Importance of colours in Eastern Rituals", you
may write on "Importance of colours in Hindu rituals" by mainly
focusing on Holi. Thus you will get an informed choice to express
yourself.
Components -- Think and
determine if your topic can further be divided in smaller parts in terms of
it's components for this type of division will make your mind clearer, your
topic focused and your will have informed choice to analyse. "Exposure to
Screen time" is a very broad topic. Make it "Exposure to screen time
and education". Again a question arises which education? So make it
"Children exposure to screen time and nursery education". Again, the
term "exposure" is vague and raises many serious questions. So
make it "Exposure to Screen time and it's effects on education of nursery
children".
Place --
It is of utmost importance to choose a smaller area. Smaller area of analysis
will make you more focused and attentive on the topic. So, rather than studying
"Declining condition of education in SIndh" you should study
"Declining condition of education in Hyderabad, SIndh". Even
Hyderabad is a very vast area. It is a division consisting nine districts. So
work more on the topic and narrow it down in term of place again and focus on
Hyderabad city. Now, it will be more manageable.
Relationship -- Well, this is one of the most interesting thing. It focuses on the way two points, perspectives or variable relate to each other. In this way you may take into consideration cause and effect, compare/contrast, individual/group, male/female, contemporary/historic, just to cite a few examples. It is not confusing and very easy to do instead.
Time -- Focusing on a specific
time period in your writing piece will enable your to be more focused.
"Health Facilities in Rural Sindh" will be broader in terms of place
as well as time. Therefore, "Health Facilities in District Shikarpur during
PPP government 2013-2018" will be convenient to write on.
Type -- Be focused in
your topic by concentrating on a specific type of any thing. We wrote the term
"health facilities" above. Divide it further into "Child care
health facilities" or "mother care health facilities" in terms
of type. Then another question arises what type of subjects/people you are
going to study. Let us think over it again. We can make it "Child Care
Health Facilities for daily wagers in Shikarpur district". Here we have
narrowed our topic in terms of place (Shikarpur), type of problem (Child Care
instead of health) and type of subjects/people (Daily wagers).
Combination -- If you think your
topic is still too broader, use a combination of above tools.
