My topic is about privatization causing a set of social
problems throughout society and people becoming restricted due to debit. Student who can pay for college or get
financial aid are envied by those who cannot or struggle to pay. This causes
the two groups to look at each other differently and to gain a dislike from
each other. The less fortunate students who struggle to pay and must take out
loads probably hold the most envy because in the future they will be financially
stuck. As explained by Ilgunas, “Debt narrows our
options. It gives us a good reason to stick it out at a job, sink into sofas,
and savor the comforts of the status quo” (p. 167). This forces them to
settle for the little success they can achieve.
