A recent study reveals that people especially young people are reading far less literature,novels, plays, and poems,than they used to. This is troubling because the trend has unfortunate effects for the reading public, for culture in general, and for the future of literature itself.
While there has been a decline in book reading generally, the decline has been especially sharp for literature. This is unfortunate because nothing else provides the intellectual stimulation that literature does. Literature encourages us to exercise our imaginations, empathize with others, and expand our understanding of language. So by reading less literature, the reading public is missing out on important benefits.
Unfortunately, missing out on the benefits of literature is not the only problem. What are people reading instead? Consider the prevalence of self-help books on lists of best sellers. These are usually superficial poorly written, and intellectually undemanding. Additionally, instead of sitting down with a challenging novel, many persons are now more likely to turn on the television, watch a music video, or read a Web page. Clearly, diverting time previously spent in reading literature to trivial forms of entertainment has lowered the level of culture in general.
The trend of reading less literature is all the more regrettable because it is taking place during a period when good literature is being written. There are many talented writers today, but they lack an audience. This fact is bound to lead publishers to invest less in literature and so support fewer serious writers. Thus, the writing as well as the reading of literature is likely to decline because of the poor standards of today’s readers.
the article states that people's number who are reading the literature, novels, plays, and poem reduced in comparision with people who studied these items in the past, and provides three reasons for supports. However, the professor explains that the material of reading have changed and people read new sources of literatures, and refutes each of the author's reasons.
first, the reading claims that book reading provide a higher level of intellectual growth in human and has facilities to encourage people to improve their imagination. unfortuneately, decline in the number of reader make a great problems and lose the befefits. the peofessor opposes this point by saying that another field such as science, history, and politcs have high great quality for reader to create their imagination and improve thier intellectual abilities. also, these topics have great advantages for readers who wants to stimulate their basic attitudes.
second, the article posits that people rather than reading the literatures, novels, etc. turn in to waching television, moveis and other stuff like these. In contrast, the professor says that the materials of reading have chenged and people cannot stay in old time, they need to evovle and use modern stuff, like moveis, television's instructive programs. according to the professor, ruduction in the number of book's reader dose not means reduction in the number of people who crave in knowledge.
third, the reading says that the main cause for this regretable events is weak standards of today's reader. the professor casts doubt on this point by explaining that the author's reason is partly ture, but not only do not authors success in introduce new materails, this by default leading to decline in the number of readers which can named author's defeat, but also concept and understanding of the book become difficult now even than before.
