Bot the reading and the listening discuss the recent trend of reading less literature than before. The author believes that there are three negative consequences for this trend. The lecturer challenges the claims made by the author. The lecturer challenges the claims made by the author. She is of the opinion that none of these consequences are correct.
To begin with, the author suggests that reading less literature books will decrease the cognitive abilities of the public, since most of the literature books spur our imagination to work and enhance our intellectual abilities. This argument is challenged by the lecturer. She mentions that there are other books like science writing and history, which are not literature, but they are of a higher quality that can induce our imagination, creativity and intellectual functions in an appropriate manner. Thus, We should not assume that only literature books can improve our imagination.
Secondly, the writer argues that this trend will dramatically reduce the culture level because people spend their time on other unbeneficial forms of amusements and reading ostensible written books. The lecturer, however, rebuts this point by asserting that there are a lot of valuable forms of entertainment that would not lower the cultural level of the community such as listening to music or watching movies. In addition, she says that not all the non literature entertainments are trivial or unimportant. As a result, there are different kinds of entertainment that speak directly to the community.
Finally, the author posits that nowadays the talented authors of the literature books are not supported at all. The lecturer, in contrast, casts doubt on this claim by pointing out that it is most likely the author's fault and not the readers. This is because their writings are very difficult to understand. thus they got less support.
