The development of tourism 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?

Over the

last

lead to a common belief that, soon

English

will be the only

language

used for communication by mankind.

This

essay intends to portray the advantages and disadvantages of there is only one

language

spoken by all human beings. One of the major advantages is that it will boost the tourism industry of every country. As all individuals speak a common

language

, tourists will find it easy to explore new destinations.

For instance

, recent studies have shown that people tend to choose places for their vacation, based on the easiness to communicate with the locals.

Hence

, by having a global medium for communication all nations can enjoy a boost in their economy due to tourism.

On the other hand

, a disadvantage to

this

belief is that it can negatively impact the traditional and cultural values of a society.

Language

plays a major role in tradition and culture,

however

, boosting the importance of a single

language

will diminish the values of tradition. As an example, if the natives of the Amazon jungle speak in

English

, the uniqueness of

this

ethnic group will be questioned and gradually

this

will lead to the non-existence of

such

groups. To conclude,

English

has been a popular

language

amongst the human population.

This

popularity has

also

lead to the thought of having a global

language

for all.

Although

this

has the advantage of promoting tourism, it

also

has a negative impact on the sustainability of cultural and traditional values.
