The Student Loan National Crisis Issue

The Issue: The student loan/debt issue is one of the most powerful economic forces to hold back college graduates from economic success. In the past, allegations have been made of predatory banks that take advantage of students but in the last ten years the federal government introduced a program for the federal government to administer which many believe has made the problem even more devastating. Your Assignment: Your friend knows you take business classes at Irvine Valley College and comes to you for advice about their college future. This friend wants to earn an Associate Degree, a Bachelors Degree, and a Masters Degree in Business Administration (MBA) with little to no debt after graduation. This friend has a part-time job of 12 – 20 hours a week, which earns them $25,000 per year and can attend college/university full-time if they stay local. This money covers their expenses for their car, entertainment, and even provides them with $5,000 that they can apply for college each year. They have a bank account of $14,000 dedicated specifically for their college education. Also, if they stay local they their housing and food would be covered and not be a part of their financial needs. Your Project: A two to four-page paper, which details a plan for them to earn their MBA with little or no financial debt from their college education after they graduate. The opening paragraph should state the thesis as to what the paper is about. Assume they will attend college on a semester basis with 12 – 16 credit hours a semester. Parking is $100 annually and their books costs will be covered by Aunt Betty and Uncle Fred provided your friend lets them know their progress semester by semester. Include a table which shows the College/University, the costs for tuition, the additional costs, and a timeline. The major goal is to provide a clear timeline with semesters and years as to how long to complete an Associate degree, a Bachelors degree, and a Masters in Business Administration. A second major goal is to define how much each segment of this education will cost – general approximations are not acceptable; be specific.

sociology (social Norms/Movement project)

Before you do the assignment, please read the following reading to help. Norms can be well-established rules that have stood the test of time and have come from thoughtful consideration of what reflects the values, beliefs, and conduct of society. Or they are sometimes practices that have evolved with no particular end result in mind. Sometimes these types of norms are established because of peer pressure, keeping up with the Jones, the desire for acceptance or deviance. Have you taken a look around your school or the popular hang out places and seen most girls wearing pants and shirts that expose their belly? Is this the norm in your school? What if your grandma started wearing these clothes? How long will this norm last? Suppose, on the other hand, you felt that this was the exploitation of women and wanted to change the norm. How would you go about doing this? Would you be considered the deviant in your school because you did not conform to the established trends of the day? You might even suggest that your school wear uniforms to control the social stratification that this type of norm can promote. For society at large or the society in which you are working, i.e. the school, to consider your idea for change they must: perceive the change as a reflection of their established beliefs and values. see benefits to themselves and to society. Because you would be trying to introduce a new way of behaving, or in this case dressing, you would be considered a deviant; you are deviating from the established norm. Being willing to put yourself on the line to establish better circumstances or conditions for the various societies that we live in is what Social Reform is all about.
