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