Child labour is a major influence in the Andy Kissane’s short story, Good Rubbish. His piece challenges notions of working children in developing and industrialised countries, noting the harsh conditions in which children face in the twenty-first century.

Contrasted with Mill’s Architecture, we are presented of an insight of a young architect graduate that is fresh out of university. Although Jennifer Mills has never been an architect or been involved in architecture, we are given a vision of what a modern day architect could face. Thinking about plans for the cities, what sort of mats
