For the analytical essay, the topics I am considering are:
- how privatization affects the middle class specifically. I found this especially interesting in the "Paying for the Party" article and would like to develop this further. I was especially intrigued by the stories of the "wannabes"
-how privatization has affected women in society ,including undergraduate and post-graduate life choices. Being a college woman, I feel I relate to this topic the most and find it the most interesting.
- how privatization affects the upper class less than the middle/lower classes and why. It is clear that the upper class is less affected by the privatization of education and end up to be successful either way. I think it would be interesting to compare and contrast the undergraduate/postgraduate differences between middle and upper class students. It appears that family stature is a more impactful determinant of a student's future success than educational ambition is.
