In my opinion, the world would be a much easier place to live in if everyone spoke the same language. This would probably prevent many world wars because there would be less misunderstandings between countries. Each nation would understand the culture and customs of the others and wouldn't have to second guess the actions of another nation. Diplomats would understand exactly what another representative from a different nation was trying to explain without any doubts. Diplomats would not have to worry about figuring out a direct translation from one language to the other. Requests would be very specific and therefor problems could possibly be solved easier.
I agree with Paulina, in that the world would be an easier place to live in diplomatically speaking. There would be less misunderstanding due to differences in language and culture. I disagree however that the world would be a better place to live in. If everyone spoke the same language, we would never be able to appreciate the beauty of another language and there would be no variety in the way we talked to one another.
