Summary Of The Credit Card Company Made Me Do It
The essay “The Credit Card Company Made Me Do It!” seems to be a fairly sound argument especially when taking Kairos into consideration, because the audience this paper was aimed towards hit home. The author talks about teenagers living the carefree life going on crazy shopping sprees with new credit cards that seemed to have “no strings attached,” but little did they know their shopping trips were about to come back to bite them in the butt. The diction used seemed to be a good blend between formal and colloquial. The essay was formal enough that it would be able to be given to a credit card company by someone wanting to persuade them towards a certain goal, but vernacular enough that teenagers who just started thinking about the idea of getting

    The essay itself is a good informative essay giving the reader an insight into a problem, if not a major problem, that is occurring in our generation. Although the essay is very short, Eric does an outstanding job explaining the methods kids use to persuade parents, an excellent job giving more than one reason why kids are the markets best consumers, and informing the reader why this crisis is occurring. The grade Eric’s essay “Kid Kustomers” is an “-A” because it could have been longer, but the author used evidence and information to back-up his statements and ideas. Eric’s use of information and the interpretation of that information into his worked really made the essay run…

    Purchase Bank Case

    General Accounting Office (GAO) initiated an investigative report to further analyze the magnitude of student credit card usage and its consequences on students’ academic, financial, and personal well-being. The GAO asked LPB’s head of Student Card Services division, Michelle Jeffries, to participate in a survey soliciting data pertinent to their college student accounts as well as information regarding LPB’s marketing approach to this demographic. Data submitted would be compared to that of other (unnamed) financial institutions and published (in aggregate) without identifying individual responders. In addition, Michelle Jeffries was notified that a popular investigative television series, ’60 Minutes’ will be featuring a story on student credit cards and plans to portray credit card issuers in a negative light similar to that of tobacco companies. I believe Michelle is in the best position to be the key decision maker due to the fact that she has the most insight into divisional operations, objectives, and values. She is the leader of the student credit card services division and should be the one to decide and communicate next steps – after having gathered input from other constituents – including the President, Risk Manager and other…

    America's Credit Card Debt Research Paper

    When the U.S. economy began to melt down in 2007 and entered a rapid period of decline in 2008, all eyes were fixed on the subprime mortgage crisis. Though the mortgage crisis, triggered by spurious lending practices and unprecedented risky investment bank practices, was undoubtedly the dominant factor affecting the American consumer in 2008, credit card debt and default was also making a contribution to the deteriorating economy and collapsing standard of living. As the subprime mortgage crisis accelerated, the increasing number of people falling behind on payments or defaulting on credit card debt…

    American Greed Quotes

    With the grip of an anaconda, it has begun to squeeze the very essence out of American consumers around the world. With no control over the grip, this amazing animal has overtaken every corner of society. Powered by greed and a thirst for dominance, this animal has taken claim to countless lives, families, and homes. With this animal on the loose, no American consumer is safe. Albert Einstein once said “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe” (n.d., para. 5). With the growing lack of education and concern for this animal known as credit card debt, there is no choice but to expose it for the destructive animal…

    Debt

    Credit cards are attractive for many people because they don’t have to physically carry money with them; but they are also dangerous because of interest rates that the banks charge. These rates can vary from bank to bank but in addition to interest rates if you can’t make your payment deadline the banks will charge you extra for a late fee which just makes the problem worse. For example my friend Chris learned this the hard way when he purchased a pretty pricey mountain bike using his credit card. It took Chris six months to pay the bike off and he winded up pay thirty percent of the bikes total price back just as interest. Needless to say this made Chris much more cautious about using his credit card and when he does use he pays it off as fast as he can to prevent the interest from racking up. However not everyone learns this lesson, many times the interest compounds and people can’t pay back the interest let alone the actual price of the item causing them to fall into debt, which is only made worse you buy big ticket items like cars and houses.…

    Credit Card Debt

    Many people use credit cards and most of the time the credit card is not used in the right moment.I believe that credit cards are not beneficial because they aren't used for the right things. It would be very different if they were used correctly, credit cards are to be used it case of an emergency,meaning not to be used when you are going to the 7-eleven to buy a bag of chips an a soda. It has shown that more than 75% percent of americans have been bankrupt or on the verge of it. There are more than 60% of americans that have credit card debt because they are using them for the wrong things. Facts have proven that the total U.S. credit card debt, is $793.1 Billion. and Average credit card debt per household is 15,799. Most people do not understand that when you have a credit card it comes with alot of responsibility and i say that because there are more than 10% of americans have been victims of credit card theft it may not seem like alot but credit card theft is a very serious thing. Most complaints come from adults within the ages 40-59, Nevada, Colorado, and New Hampshire have the highest rate of credit card fraud. Having a credit card is not what people think it is; people think that if i have a credit card then i do not have to have money with me, and its just free money but its very dangerous to have a credit card. Having a credit card can lead to bankrupt and going bankrupt can make you lose everything such as your car, house, and etc., or it could be worse an you could be placed in jail for a long time. Just because you had a credit card and used it for the wrong thing and spent way to much money...A credit card is nothing but trouble each and every type of way. The credit card companies and banks are getting richer, while most Americans are getting more in debt. The economy is in trouble, therefore, more and more people are relying on credit cards. In today's society we are constantly trying to get out of debt, but in the process of trying to get…
