The reading and the lecture are both about the effects caused by less reading on literature books. The author of the reading feels that reading less literature books caused negative impacts on several ways. The lecturer challenges the claim made by the author. She is in the opinion that even though people are reading less, possible results explained by the author are faulty.
To begin with, the author argues that people missing benifits such as intellectual stimulation by reading less literature books. The writer mentions that no other materials than literature books can provide benifits to expand our imagination and understanding about the language. The specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. She claims that other type of books also provide interllectual stimulation. Additionally, she says there might be some literature books without the accepted quality and those books may failed to provide benifits explained in before.
Secondly, the writer suggests people have lowered the level of culture by waste their time on entertainment activities. In the article it is said that these activities are intellectually underdemanding to have benifits. The lecturer, however, rebuts this argument by mentioning about the benifits that we can gain from visual media than reading books. He elaborates on this by bringing up the point that with the changing culture visual media can provide more closer feelings to the society.
Finally, the author posits that with the poor audience to read books publishers spent less money on literature books. Moreover, it is stated in the article that this will affect negatively to future of literature because of poor standards of today's readers. In contrast the lecturer's position is that this happens due to the author's faults as well. He notes that with writing books that difficult to understand, people in the past might not be read those books eventhough they are interested in reading literature books.
