Formal Proposal:

What I want to focus on for my Rhetorical Analysis paper is the increasingly high student loan debt. I want to break down and analyze why this is happening. The focus will be on the job market and the role it plays in the rising loan debt as well as what President Obama is currently doing to correct this problem. I will be analyzing two different articles with different points of view. One being that the student debt is a crisis and the other being that student loan debt is not as bad as we make it out to be.

This topic is something that I can relate to and that motivates me to want to learn more about it and perhaps gain a new perspective and opinion on the student loan debt. I want to touch on what students need to keep in mind in beginning there college endeavors and some tips I can give them to lessen their overall student debt. Students also need to understand that it is not all bad when it comes to the student loan debt there are some positive aspects of this issue.

Positive things that come out of student debt is the fact that students and people in general are getting more educated. They are setting higher goals for themselves and getting higher degrees to be able to receive higher paying jobs. Because students are getting more educated they are also investing money in their future and learning new things to do with their money. Another positive thing I would like to touch on is the government funding and payment plans. The government realizes that student loan debt is a big issue and therefore is trying to help students to the best of their abilities with their funding programs.
