For
this assignment, you get to be bad. You are a debit collector for Annie May, a
new student loan company. Your company
offers private student loans at almost outrageous interest rates. You trick hapless students by offering an
additional three-month forbearance on their repayment plan if they friend Annie May
on Facebook. Most of your chump-student-borrowers
add you to their page, unaware of your sinister plot. For any student who goes into default, you,
as well-paid representative of Annie May, get to flood his or her Facebook page
with messages regarding owed debt.
Here's what you need to do for full credit:
(1)Write a brief action plan of how you intend
to legally taunt your borrowers on their Facebook page.
(2)
Compose a brief post, FB-style, in which you demand your money. Make this as threatening as you can without
crossing the harassment line.
(3)As
a creditor, you have rights as well. Discuss how your borrower might accidentally
reveal his or her bad spending on Facebook?
(4)In
Chapter 4, we covered ethics. Do you
think a bill collector's taunts violate any of the four social ethics discussed
in the text? Why or why not.
*Remember,
this is worth 40 points. I wish you the
best of luck.
