Throughout semester two we have been looking at different issues as we try and develop our skills in persuasive writing. Our first essay asked the question ‘Are mobile phones a menace to society?’ the class produced some fantastic responses which was great to see. Although this issue is a concern in our society today, is there something that you feel passionate about? Is there an issue that you would fight for. I have recently been reading more about outworkers in Australia; these are people working from home,  18 hour days and barely earning $3 an hour. These people are working for some major fashion labels that we pay top dollar for yet they are barely getting enough money to survive. If you visit the fairwear website you can read about their stories. www.fairwear.org.au
