Given...
Hi everyone,
What does "given" mean here in first sentence? Also,I would really appreciate if someone paraphrase the sentences for me.
1-Not surprisingly, literature doesn't interest people as much as it used to, given there's so much other reading material now available.
2-Internationally popular novels like harry potter will clearly have the effect of unifying the world's taste in literature.
Thanks in advance.
