The National Gegraphic express one very thorny issue aboout the danger of disappearance lunguages. Furthemore, it refers to the effect of this phenomenon on the culture of peoples. I believe that this issue must be taken care of because it is awful that diversity will not exist in this world.
ReplyDeleteCulture is comprised of plenty of different parts. One of the most important and meaningful parts is language. Language is the flash of the human spirit through people are able to express whatever they want, such as their opinion or their feelings. It can also be useful for communication, connection between people, harmony, peace and it reveals the identity of each culture. Language is the way we develop a speech, a writing, literature, poetry and plays the main role to start a harmonic dialogue, interact with new people or maybe learn about uncommon traditions and accept the diversity of cultures. A language has a body of language and a set of grammatic rules, which sometimes make young people struggle with it at school. We need to preserve our mother language as it is a basic part of our culture and its identity which is why there is a variation among nations.
ReplyDeletelanguage, traditions and cultures are vanishing slowly everyday and in every single place in our planet. Language and traditions are a part of everyones life and they make people unique. It is sad that people have stopped handing down all these rare traditions just because they believe that they have to become more like the Americans for instance. The beauty in our world and what makes us stand up is the variety of languages and cultures that exist so this issue should be cared of.
ReplyDeleteUsing a common language from all over the world, from my view has positive aspects as it brings harmony and co-operations between nations. People can communicate and understand the culture of other natures and join travelling as well! Speaking well a second language gives you the oportunity to advance your skills and gain a better job !
