What's a word/phrase that can describe going from a detailed perspective to a more general one?
I had a few ideas but I'm not sure any of the words I thought of would get the point exactly right. Anyway, I thought of using the phrase "zoomed out" as in:
He zooms out of a description on how drugs affect the human brain to a more general view of their impact on society as a whole.
I'm not sure this works though.
Any ideas on whether this works or what I can replace it with?
He {broadened or expanded} his {perspective or application} on how drugs affect the human brain to a more general view of their impact on society as a whole.
