The development of tourism has contributed to English becoming the most prominent language in the world. Some people think this will lead to English becoming the only language to be spoken globally. What are the advantages and disadvantages to having one language in the world?

Recently, tourism has encouraged humans around the
world
to agree on
one
international
language
in communication. English has become the most prominent
language
in the
world
, whereas some people reject
this
idea because they claim that
this
would lead to the destroy many societies. In
this
essay, I will discuss the benefits and possible drawbacks of using a common international
language
globally.  On
one
hand, choosing a common
language
to be used in communication among global citizens has various benefits. The
first
one
is the financial impact of
this
linguistic feature on many countries.
This
appears in the ability to expand the international market to include all countries giving a chance for poor ones to develop economically by exchanging goods and economic experiences with other nations. Japanese developed industries,
for instance
, would be able to communicate with African organizations to exchange highly technological experience with labour or natural resources.
This
exchange between communities does not only support them financially but
also
culturally through tourism
,

since different nationalities are able to exchange history, customs and traditions for a better understanding among human beings.
This
cultural interaction could lead to resistance to global wars and conflicts.

in the
world

peace and innovation. 
On the other hand
, using a typical
language
among humans could lead to drastic drawbacks.
One
of these disadvantages is the disappearance of many languages, which are used by minorities.
For example
, Kurdish and Yagan will be substituted by English because of their rare usage.
This
linguistic feature would make many cultures endangered because
language
is the carrier of history and literature, which are the mirror of societies. These cultural consequences will lead to the loss of
identity
  and alienation of future generations in many ethnic societies. That might restrict many nations from developing to compete with developed countries. In a word, a myriad of nations' cultural and ethnic
identity
would be destroyed and replaced by the fragmented multi-ethnic
identity
that is
led by English native speakers.  In conclusion, I believe that having a single communicative linguistic feature is pivotal to the survival of people on the planet but
this
should be restricted in some sectors of human interaction to overcome its drawbacks. While
one
language
could bring people together for a better standard of living and prevalence of  peace, it is necessary to protect indigenous languages that protect the human race's characteristics of diversity and
identity
