Come Together

The extinction of uncommon languages? Actually, I dont think its all that bad. It would only make the world that much more united. I would love to be able to communicate with someone from a different country or culture as the result of us knowing the same language. I think that by eliminating some of these (what is considered) "unpopular languages", and teaching the world more predominant languages, human interaction (culture to culture) would begin to flourish. Communication between cultures we never thought would exist may soon begin to exist. Im thinking circa 2050... global issues being resolved as a result of effective communication and collaboration,  youth of all different cultures communicating and collaborating on myspace.. maybe on things such as musical projects? 

When you have a positive outlook on this situation it doesn't seem all that bad. We need to accept growth and development in this world lingually and learn that there are other ways to preserve culture through medians such as food, art, design, style, architecture, stories, etc. It might be hard for some, but people need to be bold and be open to change. Im more glad to hear that some languages will become extinct long before any wildlife and plantlife does.
