What's a vark anyway?
Something very expensive, that they want you to swallow, that moves through the system un-used.
May even be dangerous, if used too much.

Actually I have grave doubts. Just because a University uses it, doesn't nescessarilly give it credence. The year I graduated, I met somebody younger than I was and who I wouldn't give a job sweeping the floor, yet they had just got employed teaching electronics at a University. Gawd help those students.It's recognized & used by Curtin University in Australia. Still have doubts?
Here's a thought to get you going... Everybody quotes "Knowledge is Power"... By that idiom, University Professors should be the most powerful, richest people on the planet... yet they are amongst the worst paid, with poor prospects, next to no career path and abysmal pensions......an argument of some sort, and I was going to choose the education system as the topic.
The real answer (secret of life, the Universe and everything - which nobody ever quotes because they don't know it) is "Power is the application of Knowledge" - but not many University Professors have grasped that concept....

Not true. From my own experience I had (mostly) Professors that were superb, but one guy was a complete a**hole... I openly argued that he was on the payroll only because he had more letters after his name than in it, and it looked good on the University Letterhead. It did not make me a popular girl in some circles...

so tempting.
but commenting on that last line would be too easy.

Agreed.
A lot of academics lack practical attributes. One of my old Tafe teachers springs to mind, had a wealth of knowledge, but I don't think he was very good at getting the wheels to turn with it. In fact, he had me do some of it for him. I waited 3 months to get paid for that, that's Australian government institutes for you.

I'm concerned about offending the person marking this, because no matter how diligent I try to go about it, it will offend any educator. So, I'm not going to do it. Instead I'm going to create an argument on capital punishment -- does Australia want it returned? I think we do. It's an easy thing to argue about, there would be just as many reasons for it as there would be against it.

That statement is so lame Mister e. But I bet the people around you often do a lot of drinking huh?
Yes i do! Beer makes the ugly people looking better, but nobody use it as a main reference!

Sure you have been helped to find out that one... but yes indeed they drink a lot... mostly to ignore/forget such stupid posts & thread... totally useless... sounds like any other spam message i got daily.
So i think you still believe in Santa-Claus and Jesus resurection as well?
Aliens lives on earth?
If this is what university do to people, i'm glad to have gave up awhile back... just because it was and still useless to me.
Granted, some have the 'paper' and cash who come with... but they hire people like me and sign their name the bottom... and that's nice 'cause i can do something else while they still learn...

Not in Australia mister e, just not in Australia. If you were an unqualified engineer working in Australia, at very best you'd get to sweep the floor. "If you're lucky"

Even 'qualified Engineer'... well on paper, we all know that there's some good,bad, and worst. Some, see mnay of them should be killed with some pretty bad design... see dangerous design. But yeah, they're ALL 'qualified'.
To me the paper doesn't mean anything. Unfortunately, market and old thinking are still believe in it. People buy anything without knowing what's behind the scene... at least if it looks good, it's a good product... really sad.

You've got a lot to learn, a lot of growing up to do, but first you must realize that what you're saying is actually quite laughable.
