literature
The lecture explains that the trend that people are reading far less literature is not a problem, while the reading passage supports the opposite position.
First, the speaker said that there are many other types of books, such as science and political and argues that those books can be high quality. Furthermore, she insisted that types of books other than literature also can become creative and stimulate people's imagination. This refutes the writer's opinion that literature is an only type of books that provides the intellectual stimulation.
Second, the speaker said that the trend that people are reading less of literature doesn't mean the culture is lowering. Because there are more types of expression you can enjoy such as music, and it is not waste of time to enjoy other types of culture. This rebuts the writer's claim that trivial forms of entertainment is degrading the level of culture in general.
Third, the speaker said that there is less support for writing because authors these days. She said that modern writers make it difficult to understand their works, which is why people are not reading as much as before. This offers a counterpoint to the argument mentioned in the reading that less support for writing is because of the poor standards of today's readers.
