Language Makes The World Go Round

Language plays a major role in one's identity.  I feel that the world should care about languages dying out because if a culture loses their language it may also lose a culture's traditional values and their literature that helps us learn about cultural identity.  If the human species aren't willing to save their languages then the world might suffer from an important loss that could one day be very helpful to many nations.  We, as people, observe different languages to become more knowledgeable about others.  Language is also one of the four main subgroups in anthropology (linguistic anthropology) so the importance is apparent in systematic studying.  Language is very important when you want to communicate with others and without communication we are limiting the social structure of the human species.  I believe that if we are to execute the worlds many languages then we are executing other cultures.  When a language is lost then we lose cultural diversity, heritage, and further knowledge.  Language represents who we are as individuals and losing one or a thousand is like distinction of mankind and society.  We learn through enculturation and if people were to eliminate ones language then the future children may not have any knowledge of linguistics, which in turn will determine the worlds diminutive chances at evolving into a bigger and better place for everyone.  People become frightened or feel isolated when they are involved with others who speak a different language when present.  As americans, we think that anyone who speaks a different language should know English because it is normal and we shouldn't have to change because that's what most of us know.  If you just put yourself into someone else's shoes and realize that we we go to other countries, they also do not want to change their language to be able to communicate with us.  They feel that if we are to walk into their territory or society then we should be able to communicate with the language of their land.  Diminishing languages is a disrespect to cultural identity and the pride that evokes us all.  Language gives us a sense of social well being along with comfort and security that we all need each day in our own lives.
