The lecturer refutes the reading suggesting that a decline in literature readers causes negative effects on the public and the future of literature itself, providing three reasons.
First, the lecturer argues that other types of books are worth reading as much as literature is while the reading emphasizes literature is more intellectually stimulating than other genres of books. The reading explains that literature aids readers in string their imagination and enhances language development, which cannot be gained by reading other kinds of books. However, the lecturer illustrates other genres that have as high quality as literature by providing examples such as science writing, history, and political analysis. Therefore, reading less literature does not necessarily mean that people lose such intellectual opportunities.
Second, the lecturer challenges the reading that concludes culture is declining due to a decrease in literature readers. Reading criticizes that people tend to prefer to spend time in other types of cultural activities such as watching TV and reading Web pages that are much easier to understand than literature, which leads to a decline of literature. However, the lecture appreciates other forms of culture including movies and music by indicating the fact that culture has evolved. Since culture appears in diverse forms of cultural expressions without ceasing, the lecturer opposes the reading that attributes the decline of literature readers to the immediate decline of culture.
Third, the lecturer clarifies why people read less literature than they used to by refuting the reading that blames the poor understanding of readers. Although the reading criticizes readers for less interest in literature and poor reading comprehension, the lecturer claims that modern literature that is intended to be difficult to understand discourages readers to read more literature. Instead of blaming readers for reading less literature, the lecturer elucidates the points that the reading overlooked by describing that the authors neglect to make literature more attractive to readers. Moreover, the lecture doubts that modern literature would be popular even for earlier generations of readers.
In conclusion, the lecturer casts doubt on the reading that highlights the negative impacts of the decline in literature, providing three reasons.
