Scientists say that in the future humanity will speak the same language. Do you think this is a positive or negative social development?
Sample IELTS Writing Task 2 Band 7
If we all spoke the same language, it would be the bridge to harmony and understanding between different cultures and countries. It would eliminate the key hurdle that keeps a group of people away from others because we all have a sense of familiarity in language. We can therefore comprehend more profoundly different cultures that used to be somewhat misinterpreted due to a linguistic barrier.
Nevertheless, if there were one common language, a part of a country’s core identity would be sacrificed. Language not only is the way people living in the same society communicate but also symbolizes their origins and defining characters. Vietnamese people, for example, have been known for their heroism and patriotism through words of their anthems. Or everyone thinks of France as a land of romance because French is a language of love.
Cultural diversity and historical values would also be jeopardized due to this trend. Regional dialects carry unique narratives and lessons from the past, closely intertwined with religions, beliefs, and ways of life. A world adopting a single language would likely witness the unfortunate disappearance of these invaluable elements of existence.
In summary, I perceive this global linguistic shift as a significant threat to human identity, culture, and history, although it does alleviate language barriers to some extent.
