The lecture says reading less literature does not lead to bad effects certainly. The reasons have been explained in lecture are in contradiction with mentioned points in reading.
First, people replace literature books with the other subjects like history, comic and so on which can motivate people to enhance their imaginations, empathy and language knowledge as literature texts. So literature books are not unique in giving benefits to people encouraging them to imagine and empathize.
Second, it is a wrong theory that decreasing literature books reading has bad effect on culture. Nowadays, people are being flourished in field of culture by listening music or watching television or read a web page. In fact culture has been developed in some aspects which did not exist in past years and these entertaining activities are not just for fun in modern life and they have strong relationship with cultural perspectives.
Finally, the main reason for decline in reading literature is writers which led to lack of audiences. Modern writers with their complex works have made people uninterested to literature and they do not pay attention to a reader's need and demand. So if writers try to attract people with giving respect to their interests, audiences will give their hug to the old cultural product of human civilization.
