Paper Summary:
The average American reads less than one book a month and yet, watches at least six hours of television per day. This paper examines the advantages to high school students of studying world literature. It shows with reference to information sources how teaching world literature can have an influential impact on high school students' overall education, critical thinking and understanding of cultural and social issues and historic perspectives other than those reinforced by television programs.From the Paper:
"Because literature can be the catalyst for forming ideas and ideologies about human beings and societies, it can be a tool for students to learn values beyond the classroom. Literature obviously greatly influenced history and it can promote cultural values and views of the world that might otherwise be missed. Many students may never leave the confines of their own locale but world literature can bring them a solid base of knowledge for understanding human history, language and culture."More papers on World Literature:
