Reading only literature
The reading passage and the lecture both discuss the fact that people are reading less literature now than before. Whereas the reading passages states that this is a shame event, the lecture supports it indicating that people have other benefits instead of reading only literature.
First, according to the reading, young people are reading books containing less intellectual stimulation. However, the lecturer disputes this point. The professor says that young people read books about science, politics, and art, which have high intellectual stimulation. Moreover, those books contain high quality material to stimulate imagination.
Second, the reading claims that young people waste their time by watching TV, videos or searching on web pages. Nevertheless, the professor argues that listen to music or going to movies is not a waste of time because there are a lot of good pieces to appreciate. In addition, she said that the culture is changing and the artist and authors should be more direct with the audience.
Finally, the fact that currently there is less support to writer, is debated by the professor. She explains that the fault is, in some way, of the authors. She states that modern authors are difficult to understand, so young people prefer to change their cultural activities.
To conclude, the lecture casts doubt the reading by challenging the main points claiming the young people are less culture now than before.
