Scientists say that in the future humanity will speak the same language. Do you think this is a positive or negative social development?
There are thousands of languages being spoken worldwide and it is supposed that there will be only one common language in a foreseeable future as a means of communication. Having one language certainly have some benefits but there is also some of the drawbacks of this development.
One evident benefit of having one common language is that there will be more understanding between countries. In other words, if only one language is utilized throughout the world then not only the countries have advantages but also their people can easily communicate with each other and there would be greater sense of belonging between them. Another benefit of spoken same language by everyone is that it helps economic growth of countries. If people can easily communicate with each other then there would be less barriers and thus trade would be flourish between countries.
However, there are various negative points of having only one global language. Firstly, we all know that every country has their own culture. language and identity but if there is only one common language will be used throughout the world then countries will lose their language along with their identity. For example, French language is the symbol of love and France known as the land of romance, but with one common language there will be no feeling of love and eventually their culture will be destroyed. Secondly, there will be devastating effect on tourism industry because there would be no reason to visit any different country if all countries had the same language and similar cultures.
In conclusion, I believe that if everyone spoke same language throughout the world then there would be more disadvantages rather than the advantages.
