George Ritzer reveals how credit cards create both personal troubles at the micro level and public issues at the macro level. Describe how a similar problem (or problems) is developing with the student loan crisis.
Ritzer writes "Perhaps the most reprehensible activities of the credit card firms involve their efforts to get cards into the hands of college and high school students. They are endeavoring to 'hook' young people on a life of credit and indebtedness. Such activities are clearly a public issue and are causing personal troubles for untold numbers of people." This statement is perhaps even more applicable to student loans as it is to credit cards.
