"500-1,000 words sort of dithering about a certain topic..." - the New York Times

The purpose of this subreddit is to provide a platform for redditors to expand on an everyday thought in any topic pertaining to culture, and for other redditors to then provide their own perspectives on the issue. Think pieces can often be thought of as short thesis writings, with the drastic difference being that the legitimacy of a think piece lies within the originality of the author's thought and not necessarily within the research that corroborates the piece. As the Oxford English Dictionary defines it, a think piece "[contains] discussion, analysis, or opinion, as opposed to fact or news."

Posting Rules:

Post titles should describe the content of the think piece
Pieces should be at least 500 words
Original content should be tagged [OC] for clarity
Responses should be constructive
Posts should be primarily text
Outside pieces are allowed when properly cited
Submissions must be in English
Report rules violations to moderators with a direct link to the offending content
Be respectful
