For instance, this fantastic opening sentence from a student's essay I am grading right now. Is it a topic sentence? Debatable. But it does everything a topic sentence does, and that's what makes it so good. It's an evolved, improved version of what the student was likely taught to do in HS.

Great piece. Moreover, this "moral body" impulse taps into a broader religious/spiritual change. Instead of moral guidance working as sets of rules to follow, it increasingly functions as validation for refining personal choices and identities in particular ways.
