Band 7.5

Every year several languages die out. Some people think that this is not important because life will be easier if there are fewer languages in the world. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

#year #languages #people #life #world
There are increasing number of languages disappearing by the year. People believe that
this
 occurrence is not important as their life will become simpler
as a result
 of
this
 phenomenon. I completely disagree with
this
 opinion and
this
 essay will elaborate on the reasons why.
Firstly
, language serves as a backbone of any culture in a society. If a language were to vanish, the culture and practices will diminish with it as well. Culture is important to any society as it brings about a different flavour to a place and it is essential to preserving the uniqueness and diversity of our civilisation. If these languages were to die out, I believe that the livelihoods of these people will greatly be affected as they will now need to learn a new mother tongue and adapt to a brand new culture. Should
such
 an event happen, various small communities in China and India who speak minority languages will face these difficulties in adjusting to the changes.
Secondly
, I believe that the complexities of life are not caused by the multitude of languages that exist in the world, but rather, in the gap in communication that arises from other factors
such
 as the lack of respect for one another and inconsideration in one’s daily activities.
For instance
, we could place two people in a room who respect each other mutually that speak completely different languages, but they would still be able to get along very well.
On the other hand
, it could
also
 be observed that two people who speak the same language may very well end up in a dispute. To summarize, I believe that life will only become more simplified when mankind shows the resolve to bridge the gap in their everyday communication. Having fewer languages is not part of the problem and will not aid in making our lives easier.
On the contrary
, it could produce an opposite effect as people may find trouble coping with the changes should
this
 event happen.
