So, my niece is doing a paper over the holiday break about how society (Western at least) is transforming from a learned one into a set of functional illiterates.
The thing is, among the people I know and am friends with, they are still very educated, and always are trying to better themselves via reading, etc.
I want to give a counterpoint to her, so she could include it in her paper. However, I want to give her a decent reflection of things, and not simply say it's incorrect.
So - Help me here with making up my mind.
A) IS "Western" society becoming more of a Mass Media group, having to be fed their information via snippets on TV, etc?
OR
B) People are still intelligent, it's just time pressures that have caused this? |
