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

Numerous uncommon
languages
are vanishing yearly around the globe. While some say, life will be much simplified if fewer
languages
are used globally. I,
on the other hand
, partly disagree with
this
opinion. Admittedly, choosing common
languages
as a mother language could lead to two advantages( job opportunities and immigration difficulties). From the perspective of getting more offers from different companies.
For example
, more than 50% of the world's population knows English or Chinese, meaning that more than half of companies use English or Chinese to operate.
Therefore
, when fewer
languages
exist on earth, more job opportunities are being offered since people will be able to speak in different countries and be hired. And to the perspective of immigrating. When the whole population on earth uses the same language, people will not suffer from communication difficulties anymore. Thereby, immigrants will have less concern about living in foreign countries. Despite these arguments, several
languages
dying out will cause a detrimental effect on countries' culture and finance.
For instance
, South
Korea
is known for
Korean
popular music( K-Pop) and
Korean
drama( K-Drama). K-Pop and K-Drama are both in
Korean
. Suppose their primary language is being swapped for English.
Then
, K-Pop and K-Drama will lose their purposes and features since their characteristics are speaking or singing in
Korean
.
Hence
, people might lose interest in
Korean
culture. And, workers who depend on the
Korean
entertainment industry are likely to lose their jobs.
Moreover
, the leading money stream for
Korea
will vanish.
Hence
, breaking down
Korea
's economy and putting
Korea
in a financial crisis. At
last
, life would be much harder for them. To conclude, even though the more unity is for
languages
, the easier certain peoples' lives are.
However
,
this
could
also
ruin a whole communities' life,
