The One Minute Case

What’s this about?

The One Minute Case is a new collaborative blog which will present a brief argument about a controversial issue that can be read in about a minute. The goal is to publish one case per day. You can read the cases to learn something new about an issue or use them as a source for longer arguments of your own.  Everything is Creative Commons licensed, so you are welcome to (non-commercially) reuse material.

Why so short?

Some issues can be summarized in 60 seconds, while in other cases, we’ll try to make you aware of a new perspective. The goal is to encourage critical thinking and discussion rather than present an open and shut case. If you disagree, or think something is missing, comment away!

Can I contribute?

Sure. Just register and a submit a case (such as one of the proposed topics) as a comment. If we like your style, you’ll be given publishing privileges.

What if a topic is already covered?

That’s ok. We’ll repost a topic if you can give a better argument.
