reading culture

A READING CULTURE CAN SAVE OUR YOUTH
Extensive reading fertilizes critical thinking in a people. Reading daily newspapers regular publications and journals causes individuals to interact closely with national and world affairs. the ancient chinese understood the importance of books and quipped " A book is like a garden carried in the pocket",
Developed nations encourage a reading culture among their people while their government alocate a sizable chunk of their budget to writting, research and publishing. Youth who read discover a wealth of information. the government needs to encourage youth by organizing reading contest through community libraries. these programmes will cause young people to shun destructive behaviour such as alcohol, drugs etc.  a certain journalist & writer once said that "a book is the only place you can examine a fragile thought without breaking it, or explore an explosive idea without fear it will go of in your face". it is one of the few heavens remaining where a man's mind can get both provocation and privacy. which i agree with.
