Reading...

I thought I'd try to put together some links for some materials that might be helpful to read in preparation for graduate diploma compare and contrast essays...I will update this post with more as and when I find them:

COMMUNICATION & TECHNOLOGY

Three articles about communicating by text: one piece arguing against the use of text speak, one defending it, and one article that combines two different writers' perspectives on the topic.

The Economy of the Premier League

I'm sure there's lots of material out there, but perhaps looking at some documents and opinions on the recent Manchester United bond issue might be an intersting option. It's summarised here and discussed here and this perspective also has a link to the official prospectus as a pdf.

Funding Education

A key section of a national report is here as is this article voicing mixed opinions, this piece from the Guardian arguing that students should pay, and this very recent article from The Economist. I'm sure you can find much more on the subject.

Global Warming

Yesterday The Observer published this debate about global warming, which could be a useful hub from which to explore the subject.
