Thesis Statement:
Reading has been pushed through for many years already as it is claimed to be one of the keys to literacy. Being literate can bring many positive impacts to our personal lives as well as to the lives of others. It can help us understand a certain concept as well as can discern properly what actions or decisions to make. Reading is helpful in our everyday lives, most especially when our tasks involve tasks that relate to words, comprehension, understanding, and decision-making. Reading has already evolved from a privilege from before time to be a basic need to literacy in today's generation. If before, only those that are in position or those that have power and influence can be sent to school and be taught how to read, today, almost everyone already knows how to read. People especially parents have seen the importance of literacy and they are passing it to the next generation, to their children. Now, this is one of the two sides of the coin just yet. While there are a lot of positive sides to reading, there are also some points that destroy a person through reading. One example would be the inappropriate material that is exposed to a person. This can destroy his ideas and views especially when the material has no basis. Another one is if reading leads him to advance a negative cause that instead of leading to peace and harmony, the world is being dragged to burden and negativities.
