The acceleration of economic globalization and the development of
mass
media
 have significantly altered the way we live.
As a result
, an increasing number of youngsters are now becoming die-hard fans of international pop stars but unfortunately paying little attention to the prominent historical figures in their own
country
. The
mass
media
 and the stressful lifestyle are the chief contributors to
this
 phenomenon. The reasons for the evident contrast

 was built by ancestors and pioneers would be an ideal option.
In addition
, the young generation themselves are supposed to assume the responsibility to break the vicious cycle of the "information cocoon" and learn to make good use of Internet resources. In conclusion, the

 and the stressful lifestyle are the principal causes of

 problem is for the

 to generate high-quality cultural products that young people adore.
