The old adage of out of sight, out of mind plays prominently in this type of story. Most people in America know the likes of George Washington because we almost see him everyday on our currency, same goes for the likes of Lincoln and Jefferson. Most young generations see and sense what is around them in their current everyday lives. This type of article in the daily mail typifies the culture we live in, with no sense of history. The lack of our educational systems to give a proper historical prospective of just what has transpired is also a major factor in seeing such articles in print.
