Coherence: Repeating/Relating what you have earlier said

Revisiting the Idea

An important way to remind the reader what you have already talked about is revisiting an idea that you have earlier mentioned. For example, when the introduction refers to Shashi Tharoor, the body of the essay is to revisit the person or his ideas in a more elaborate way - perhaps relating how his ideas support your argument. Read the following paragraph from the body of the essay. 

The foundation of a global civilization was laid with the greatest geographical discovery: America. It was the discovery of a new continent in fifteenth century (1492) that put forth the idea of a worldwide, global civilization which was to be further developed under the umbrella of colonialism. While the Spanish civilization managed to go as far as Latin America, it was British legacy that reached everywhere: Africa, Australia, Canada, India and New Zealand. British Empire remained the throbbing heart of the world for roughly three hundred years. Even the common element of a colonial master, instead of shortening the distance between different communities, widened the gap between the people, dividing them on the basis of intellectual, technological, cultural and racial, and economic features. The very incident of Dr Tharoor’s flying to London for participating in a debate is a salient feature of this global world; however, the very popularity of his vitriol on a social media website is a testimony to the fact that his censure echoed through millions of hearts (millions reciprocated the same feeling). His voice, along with the video, reaching to millions who took interest in the subject marks the emergence of a global community that pays heed to every voice that rises and embraces everyone in its infinity. There is a room for everyone: be it the one who delivered the harangue, or the ones who shared the video, or the ones who endorsed it with their appreciative comments, or the ones who out-rightly rejected the narrative of South. The bottom line is: the Empire writes back!
