Advantages and disadvantages to having one language in the world.
These days the idea of having
one
common language
for the whole world
is supported by more and more people. This
concept is tied to the difficulty of worldwide communication because of the abundance of languages. This
essay will convey the upsides and downsides of having a sole universal language
for the whole of humanity and provide a logical conclusion.
The whole World
speaking one
language
would benefit international communication and, consequently
, other spheres such
as tourism or education, where intercontinental interaction is involved. To cite an example, the recent research, conveyed by scholars at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology demonstrated that around 20% of people in the United States do not opt for travelling to some Asian countries like Malaysia and Indonesia. The reason behind that is
the fact that the English language
is barely spoken by local people there, which might be the cause of the mass misunderstandings. If there was a universal language
to communicate, more countries would be visited by foreigners, which, consequently
, would boost their economies as well.
However
, with the increase in one
's economy, the unemployment rate would mountain up as well. Hundreds of millions of interpreters, translating applications developers and language
teachers would be unemployed. For instance
, according to the statistics of Austria, around one
-third
of the country's population work in language
-related fields. Hence
, the above concept would only exacerbate economic growth rather than improve it. Furthermore
, with the loss of each language
, the cultural identity of a government would evaporate. Consequently
, life would probably become monotonous and, besides
, the World
would turn into a sole large society, instead
of being an independent separate country.
To conclude, the disadvantages of having one
language
in the World
significantly outweigh its benefits. While easier communication is regarded as the only benefit for humans, there are far more detrimental consequences, particularly large-scale unemployment and loss of cultural identity, that would destroy the government's integrity.Submitted by kaiakaya3002 on
