Scientists say that in the future humanity will speak the same language. Do you think this is a positive or negative social development?

#scientists #future #humanity #language #development
Due to globalization, many
languages
 are currently disappearing at a considerable rapid speed. Some scientists have predicted that there will only be a
language
 spoken by all human races in the future. Even though
people
 might benefit from only needing to learn and speak a
language
, in my opinion,
this
 is a negative social development.
To begin
 with the benefits of uniting the
languages
 worldwide, it is true that some
people
 might find it more convenient to communicate with citizens from other nations. The
language
 barrier has troubled some
people
 to some extent for not being able to express their ideas clearly or building up a relationship with foreigners who do not speak the same
language
 as them.
Also
, if all
people
 spoke the same
language
, it would reduce some misunderstandings resulting from the unfamiliarity with the
language
.
In addition
, it might
also
 be good news for students since they no longer need to stay up late cramming for
language
 exams.
Nevertheless
, the downsides of the phenomenon might be more significant than the benefits.
First
,
language
, to some degree, is not only just a simple
language
 used by the locals, it comes hand in hand with the perspectives. In fact, it is a crucial cultural asset to many ethnicities (ethnic groups). The disappearance of
languages
 symbolizes the disappearance of diversity, and it is detrimental if all humans tend to think in the same way.
Moreover
, there are many
language
 lovers who take
language
 learning very seriously as a hobby that they can not live without, and there are
also
 linguists who have devoted all their lives to studying the beauty of
languages
. It will without a doubt be a great loss to those groups of
people
.
Last
 but not the least, if losing the ability to read traditional
languages
, humanity will no longer understand the documents or historical assets that were passed down by our ancestors. In conclusion, if all human races speak the same
language
, despite several benefits, as far as I am concerned, the downsides still outweigh the positive sides.
As a result
, it will still be a great negative social development for humans.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
