Why is it important?
A few stimulating ideas with examples.
Perspectives
I like the tone of this piece. Usually when topics like this are handled, the author feels specially inclined to whip up an air of objectivity, and the reader perceives the pretense in one second flat. Nobody minds much, because it is after all the convention. But it makes many discussions boring when they don't have to be.
