Many young people today know more about international pop and movie stars than about famous people in the history in their country. Why is this? What can be done to increase young people's intesert in famous people in the history of their country?

The acceleration of economic globalization and the development of mass media have significantly altered the way we live.

As a result

, youngsters are now growing more and more attracted to

pop

culture

instead

of the

history

of their own

.

This

essay will explain the reasons for

this

and give a solution. The stark contrast in young people's knowledge between international

lies in these factors. First and foremost, there is almost unlimited media content regarding

such

as films, animations, games and toys about historic celebrities are

ideal options. In conclusion, the reasons for the gap in the young ones' knowledge between

and famous people in the past are threefold: differences in content accessibility, familiarity and consciousness of the significance of
