A
common language is the most powerful unifying force known throughtout history
Language has played a
significant role in Humans history. Sometimes even countries utilize the potent weapon ‘language’
to dominated their new colonies.
As I mentioned above, language’s
function is more than just one way of communicating each other. For instance,
these days a number of people use English, and in some countries people who
know how to speak English earns more money than others who are not able to
speak English.
Also, language was the best
tools to gather people despite of their nationalities and cultures. Old chinese
kingdoms and United states might be the best example for my idea. The priority
work when old chinese kingdoms conquered other country was instilling their language
into their knew colonies. After finishing this work, everything goes smoothly
such as people becoming completely new citizen even if the dominated country had
maintained their culture for a long time. Another good example is the Untied States.
Vientnam did not use English as their first lanuage before the WW2. However,
after the World War Second they changed their systems in education and
politics. In my opinion, different
conutires has their own best way of systems because surroundings and many other
factors are diffrent with other countries. But, since their language changes,
they become another citizen unofficially.
Few days before in my English
class we had a class about the offical language of U.S government. Since the U.S
is the country that mingled with various people, language comes to them as a
big concern. However, the thing that I want to say is that if the U.S government
want to keep their power and global rank over the world, they should maintain
their lanugage English as much as possible, because the country like the USA’s
root came from the lanuage ‘English’.
