...world of clones? What do you think about huge english domination round the globe?
Would this world be more interesting with just one language, just one culture, just one way of life or with great diversity of it?
How would look this world without all that multinational diversity?
Can you Imagine city in which you can buy things only in one store, the products of only one firm, houses painted only in one colour...?
Imagine world of just one dominant culture without huge number of multinational influences in science, culture, history....
The language is most important part of any culture, so what would like the world of only one language.
Would Kafka be the same if his mother tongue was English, or would be Shakespeare so famous if his mother tongue was albanian?
Think about great deal of geniuses we loose because of domination of just one language and culture.
It's not the same if some culture have or not have written (spoken) word.
Imagine, what would we know about ancient Egypt culture without knowing their language - almost nothing.
Yes, by consuming all that multinational influences and making the ''world culture'' we have to be selective.
That means, we have to learn about good and bad things all aroud the world, and if we want to make world better place, the first thing is to understand the whole world better.
By accepting that fact, we can no longer watch the world trough national histories glasses, but we have too seek for answers.
Domination of just one culture and language, always represent huge barrier in that great job of making the world better place.
