literature decline
The provided materials are concerned with the decline of novels, plays, and poems' reading. The author states that people used to read more literature. The reading decline can adversely affect culture and also, the future of literature. In contrast, the lecturer repudiates this point through several counterarguments that are as follows.
Initially, the author says that literature helps people to exercise their imagination, empathize with others, and also, expand their understanding of language. The less they read literature, the more information they are missing out. However, the lecturer explains that people can provide intellectual stimulation by reading science books, history books, etc. Also, reading a decent and high-quality book in different fields can improve their imagination.
Second, the writer thinks that nowadays, people read more superficial books instead of literature. Also, they prefer to watch TV programs or music videos. it stands to reason that it is a kind of a waste of time and causes to lower the level of culture. Yet again the speaker underscores that there are many music videos or movies that are brilliant. Owing to the fact that the culture concept has changed, those programs are new kinds of culture.
The final point of contention between the article and lecture is the writers' decline. The writer claims that as a result of reading less literature, the number of writers will be decreased. Since the authors are bereft of the audiences, the publishers would not invest in literature and can not support the authors. On the other hand, the speaker believes that actually, it is the authors' blame. The literature they are writing is difficult to understand. it is obvious that people would not buy their books.
