Blog Post #7 - Unit 9 (Languages)

 People are learning many different language in these days. Learning a second language is too difficult and time consuming therefore some people argue that it should there be one world language. However, it should not there be one world language that everyone speaks because each country has different culture and history, and there are many jobs that is related to different languages.
 
  It should more than one world language because each country has different culture in their language. For example, in Korean there is a word "ganggangsulae". It means traditional Korean circle dance play. It can not be translated to any language. It shows their own culture. While one world language can make their cultures to combine and make new culture, it is more important each country's unique culture.
 
  Another reason it should not there be only one world language is that each country has different history in their language. For example, Hangul, the Korean language, was created by King Sejong to help people to communicate each other well in Korea. While some people may think that the future is more important than the past so history can build in the future, we must know the past then we can know the present and the future, too.
 
  Finally, one world language remove many jobs that is related to many different languages. Even though it may help to reduce complicated problems to translate different languages, it is more important that it can help to reduce the lack of jobs problem in these days.
 
  The fact that each country has different culture and history, and there are many jobs that related to many languages indicate that it is not good idea to have one world language that everyone speaks. It would better that people in the world speak different languages and understand each other.

  1. I agreed with you. Even though we are spending time and money learning the second language like English, to conserve our own tradition, culture, and history, we do not need to use one world language.

  2. Great job Hyeonseon :) In this essay, I actually wrote different opinion compared to yours lol However, after reading yours I get to see some postive aspect of keeping diverse languages that I have not notived before reading your essay! Especially, one of your topic sentence about disappearance of job related to multilingual is very impressive and brilliant topic to support your statement! I had never thought about this one. Just like what your said in the essay, maybe the history of our proudly known 'Hangeul' and 'ganggansule' would be disappeared forever... Overall, it was very interesting topic! Great job :)
