Blog Post 3: Privatization

Privatization is always going to be present in our society if we do not do anything to stop it. After writing the analytic essay on privatization it helped me realized that privatization is something that does not benefit us in any way. Student debt is a rising problem in our society which is caused by privatization. People believe that taking out massive loans to attend expensive private schools is the only way to make money. These people privatized themselves to think this. Also privatization starts in public education. Poor students can not afford the same resources that wealthier students do. These poor students need to isolate themselves so they can work hard and pay for everything on their own. This idea is present in the reading "Paying for the Party." The less wealthy girls on the floor became the social isolates because they focused only on school work and worked part time to pay their bills. It was very hard for these girls to make friends because they privatized themselves. Privatization is relevant in my research topic because people privatize themselves to think that frats and sororities are negative and they do not look at the positive sides of Greek Life.
