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?
Today's society has witnessed an increase in
English
usage. Many people
hold the belief that English
would be the only language
used by everyone from all over the world. From my perspective, I believe this
can help access knowledge easier and cause the loss of cultural diversity because of the following reasons: On the one hand, it can broaden one's horizons and generate efficient communication. Some TV shows, programs, and apps do not support subtitles and people
's tongues, if all people
use English
, there will be no need for subtitles. As a result
, this
can give better access to platforms and demand residents' knowledge and recreation. Moreover
, overseas students will not have to suffer from language
barriers and decrease the rate of misunderstanding circumstances because of different languages. On the other hand
, this
can create a lack of cultural diversity. Every language
in the world represents a whole range of historical events and citizens' mindsets. For example
, many words in Vietnam are inspired by Chinese, not only because of the closeness in geographic aspect but also
illustrate a period of Vietnamese taken over by the Chinese. If people
only use English
, the young generation will not know clearly about their country's history which brings an end to cultural richness. In conclusion, although
the idea of making English
become the only language
being used can change our knowledge, one can not deny that it can cause cultural loss. Looking forward, I can predict idea won't happen in the future while
countries still encourage their citizens to acquire English
for collaboration and globalization.Submitted by pupeos1902 on
