Claim: Reading is positively correlated to achieving higher academic grades.
People who read more out of class have better grades. The problem is, people are not reading much of the classics, but instead read more nonfiction books such as Harry Potter and Twilight.
Students scored higher on tests when they read more.--Source
Many people find books assigned in class boring and therefore choose not to read. Teachers should assign a bigger variety of books so students can enjoy reading.
Most readings habits are already established before a student enters college, so they are generally developed during high school.---Source

Unfair Distribution of Money
It's hard to believe how athletes such as basketball player Kobe Bryant are being payed millions of dollars a year to play a sport, while people in Africa and other parts of the world are living on less than a dollar a day. Money is unfairly distributed in our world today. People are dying and starving while others are living in humongous houses and driving incredible flashy cars and it is sad to see the statistics about thousands of people dying of hunger every day. The United States government should try to do more than ever to help people in our country, and those outside it. Life is a beautiful thing, and we should all be doing something to help those less fortunate.
