The fall of reading has caused the decline of literary culture in the United States. This is a scary thought, because our country was built on the foundation of reading and writing.
People used to read for pleasure, for learning, for entertainment, for escape, and for many other reasons. It is no secret that there is a reading slump in the United States.
In fact, if you ask most people, they will tell you that they don’t read as much as they used to. Today, I am going to discuss why the fall of reading is happening and what you can do to help keep the literary culture alive.
1. THE FALL OF READING
We are living in a time where literacy is a dying art. This is because people are more and more watching TV, playing video games, and using their phones. What is even worse is that people are living in an age where books are not seen as a necessity.
In order to keep our culture alive, we need to continue to read and absorb what we are reading. This is because books and literature help us grow and learn new things. They also help us become more cultured, polite, and well-rounded individuals. If we want to keep our culture alive, we need to continue to read and absorb what we are reading.
2. WHY IS IT HAPPENING?
The decline of reading is happening all around the world. It is a trend that is hard to stop and it is happening in a lot of different ways. It can be seen in the decline of bookstores, libraries, and literacy rates. People are using and buying books less and less.
This is mostly due to the rise of ebooks, smartphones, and tablets. But it is not just the rise of technology that is causing the decline of reading. It is also the lack of quality books that people are reading. People have a lot of options when it comes to books to read, but they are choosing not to read books that they don’t like.
This is because they are not getting what they want from the books they are reading. The best way to avoid this and to keep your literary culture alive is to read what you like. If what you like is a book that is not being published, then you need to write it. One way of doing this is to write a book review of what you read.
This is a great way to get your book published. The best way to keep your literary culture alive is to read what you like to read, regardless of what is popular or what is trending.
3. WHAT CAN YOU DO?
It’s important to support readers who are still reading, especially children. One way to do this is by buying them books, but another is to help create a reading culture in your community.
Here are some ideas of how you can help:
- Sign up for a book drive, which will help you collect books for schools and libraries, as well as for individuals.
- Attend a book fair at your local library.
- Organize a book club.
- Start a school or family reading club.
- Help your local bookstore stay afloat by volunteering your time.
4. CONCLUSION.
