Would the world be a more peaceful place if everyone spoke the same language? Think here specifically about issues of communication and diplomacy.
I believe that if everyone spoke the same language then there would be less peace than would actually be expected.
Even though having different languages in the world does cause issues due to the language barrier there are ways that we can get around that in communication. It is because we have the different languages that we actually are able to try and work toward the peace that we desire.
If everyone spoke the same language then there would be a problem with privacy between countries. The reason I believe that is because if you had someone visiting from another country and you both spoke the same language and they overheard something, that they can understand, and it was misunderstood then there would be a disagreement that would arise. From there if it was accidentally released to the public it could spread to a worldwide problem.
If it reached that level then there would be a very slim chance of ever reaching a peace agreement, because of a misunderstanding that could be understood by everyone.
Therefore many languages instead of one main one are the best thing for our world and our struggle for peace.
I like how you explain all of the reasons and get to the point of why this is not a good idea. I do agree with the fact that if information got leaked then there would be problems because you won't know who it may be benefitting or if anyone is going to become angry or rise to power because of that information.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I do not exactly agree with your point of view, you do present it well and explain what you think. You put forth a good argument however, I believe that speaking the same language would prevent miscommunication and misunderstanding between nations.
