TASK 2 (2 PARTS): POP CULTURE STARS

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

Sample Answer

A large segment of the young these days is better informed regarding global stars in pop music and the movie industry, leading to dwindling interests in famous historical figures, a social phenomenon that has sparked widespread concern. In my opinion, the major reason stems from the dominance of the global pop culture, which can be addressed through concerted efforts.

The overwhelming appeal of pop culture personalities over key historical figures among young people in modern-day societies can be attributed to the proliferation of the entertainment industry and the growing irrelevance of historical values. Numerous economies globally are now heavily dependent on the consistent and precipitous growth of the entertainment world, a phenomenon which in turn leads to the concomitant promotion of world-renowned pop stars and movie superstars through various means of advertising, such as product placement, celebrity endorsement, and online KOL promotion. This increasing appeal results in the permeation of these household names, alongside their personalities and styles into the lives of young individuals. Compared to past heroes who have fallen into oblivion by a lack of coverage and may not hold particular modern relevance, modern pop culture influencers are known to youngsters to a larger extent due to their current relatability.

This worldly obliviousness regarding key historical figures can be rectified through combined efforts between renowned individuals and institutions. Regarding key influencers, these KOLs can leverage their fame and reputation to promote people of historical significance through voicing their opinions on both mainstream and social media, as well as organising and encouraging public participation in history-related events. Through such promotion, organisation, and encouragement, pop culture personalities can kindle revived interests in past heroes who contributed significantly to countries worldwide. As far as state intervention is concerned, state budgetary allocations should be prioritised towards the construction, maintenance, and refurbishment of historical buildings, sites, and monuments, thereby increasing young people’s attendance and informing them about past figures. Consequently, not only does this dual approach reinforce the online presence of pop culture figures, it also incentivises participation in history-related endeavours, through which young people can get more valuable insights into past heroes.

In conclusion, the proliferating growth of the entertainment industry and its associations have contributed to the elevation of pop and movie stars at the expense of historical names. This can be resolved through celebrities spreading the word and governments promoting historical values, both of which can lead to greater appreciation of past figures.

Dàn ý

Introduction:
Nêu thực trạng giới trẻ ngày nay biết nhiều về ngôi sao quốc tế hơn nhân vật lịch sử.
→ Nguyên nhân chính: sự thống trị của văn hóa đại chúng toàn cầu.
→ Có thể giải quyết bằng nỗ lực phối hợp.

Body 1: Nguyên nhân
• Giải trí toàn cầu phát triển mạnh → ngành kinh tế phụ thuộc → quảng bá rầm rộ ngôi sao quốc tế qua quảng cáo, KOL, mạng xã hội.
• Giới trẻ dễ bị cuốn hút vì tính hiện đại và liên hệ cá nhân cao.
• Nhân vật lịch sử bị “lãng quên” do ít xuất hiện, thiếu tính thời sự.

Body 2: Giải pháp
• KOLs nên dùng ảnh hưởng để quảng bá nhân vật lịch sử: phát biểu trên mạng, tổ chức sự kiện lịch sử.
• Chính phủ nên đầu tư vào bảo tồn, tu sửa di tích, khuyến khích giới trẻ tham quan, học hỏi.
→ Cách tiếp cận kép giúp lịch sử trở nên gần gũi hơn với giới trẻ.

Conclusion:
Văn hóa đại chúng làm lu mờ giá trị lịch sử, nhưng có thể khắc phục nếu người nổi tiếng và chính phủ cùng hành động.
