How about the need for a media literacy program in the US? The United States is one of the only developed nations in the world not to have a program as part of its core curriculum. Some talking points could includethe fact that the average student spends over 4 hours a day watching tv, and much less actually reading for enjoyment. Could say something along the lines of the fact that we need to redefine literacy. However, im not sure how easy it would be to get people to act on it, because its not something as easy as taking afternoon naps, but I would also argue that it is much more important.
