The topic or subject matter of a dissertation or communication is called the subject.
From Latin assumptus , the subject is the matter of which something is about. It is about the theme or question of conversation, thought, etc. For example: “I don't quite understand what the census is like, what information do I have to give?” , “The issue is that Mariano left and did not leave the money to pay the bills,” “Sir, I wanted to let you know that Dr. Listorti is at the reception: he came because of the bad checks issue.”
The issue is also the theme , plot or argument of a work: “The book reflects on the issue of guerrillas in Latin America” , “I think the issue the film deals with is very interesting” , “The filmmaker was wrong ”. by presenting a profound issue with such lightness” , “The subject of this painting is the civil war” .
Another use of the concept is linked to the public event that attracts the interest and curiosity of the people : “The death of the former president became the most important issue of the day,” “No issue managed to overshadow the victory of the team in Asian lands.” ” .
Ministry of Foreign Affairs
In political matters we have to establish the existence of what is known as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs . We can say that this is the government body of a country that is responsible for addressing all those issues that refer to its relationship with other nations. Specifically, it proceeds to carry out policies, regulations and agreements regarding cooperation or foreign policy.
This means taking care of such important aspects as terrorism, development cooperation, human rights, disarmament, globalization, piracy... All of this without forgetting aspects related to international adoptions, embassies and consulates of the country in question in abroad or assistance to nationals who are abroad.
The subject of an email is its title or header.
The term in various expressions
In the same way, we must also make clear the existence of a term that is also used in politics: state affairs . With this nuance, what it tries to express is that a specific issue is very important for the country because it addresses aspects that can affect all citizens in general or that they have the right to know.
Likewise, it is important to determine that within the police forces there is a department called Internal Affairs . As its name indicates, this is the section that is responsible for carrying out investigations related to the members of the body as well as the actions they perform. In this way, what we try to avoid is cases of corruption there.
The love relationship of a sexual nature that a person maintains in a more or less secret way is also called an affair: “Juan frequently visits the town since he has an affair there,” “Miguel hates me since I had an affair with his sister.” .
