Criteria is the standards or rules to abide by when something is being judged. Hope this helped.
According to Zygmunt BaumanIt we live in a liquid world, that is we are overwhelmed by information, relationships are not mostly meant to last, things change at a pace never seen before by humans, having said this, our literary culture is bombarded by mass produced literature, for instance the <em>Twilight</em> saga and the <em>Harry Porter</em> saga which by themselvesis not bad but it seems that people compete to say how many book they have read, but the question is how many books have they really read? Although I wouldn't change much of the writying style, I don't think there is a general school of writing nowadays so anyone can be romantic, barroque, neoclassic, moden, what suits them, but the approach to reading for details and cross reference to traditional and classic must be preserved. There is no denial that more people read now but they need to be taught how to read critically and challenge the classic tropes, but not by enacting newer tropes, for instance I am yet to see a prodigalson story emphasising and redeeming the older brother.
The government cannot have a say on cultural matters, the max they can do is help promote new artists.
It certainly differs to the mass production approach of publishers, as everyboidey else they need money so it is understandable that they encourage this liquid approach to reading, the faster you read, the more books you will buy, so although we have analysed the phenomenom it is difficult to pass a final judgement on how things ought to be.
