Many young people now know more about international pop and movie stars than famous people in the history of their countries. What are the causes? Give solutions to increase the number of people to know about famous people in history. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Currently, young
people
are more interested in international pop and movie artists than important characters in the national history of their countries. Overall
, there are two main reasons: the high power of social media
to influence people
and the deficient educational system, unable to attract youngsters.
It is known that young people
are easily affected by social media
over the Internet
such
as Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. This
kind of software has become more and more addictive, especially for kids and teenagers. Many of these social media
use algorithms to send content that combines with the lasted views and involves the students in a way that it is impossible to stop to watch. For example
, many teenagers know everything about singers like Taylor Swift or football players like Cristiano Ronaldo than important people
like Marie Curie or Martin Luther King.
On the other hand
, teachers and educational professionals are still using antique methods that do not work anymore today. Most students think the classes are uninteresting. Some schools are trying to implement new resources to improve the scholar’s engagement. For instance
, some institutions are using electronic boards instead
of traditional blackboards and using the Internet
for homework.
These facts contribute to making international celebrities more known than historical figures for young people
. A possible solution to this
issue can be trying to bring into the schools, new methods of teaching history and making classes more interesting, through activities like theatre, making short movies by the students, and using the Internet
and resources such
as social media
. Another solution can be more parental control over what the children consume on the Internet
.
To conclude
, I believe that it is a problem for new generations that can cause a lack of knowledge. The solution is improving the way of teaching and learning and controlling what their kids watch on the Internet
