In what ways would this make the world a better place to live?

If the world would be with one language I don’t have a clue what it would be look like, but I think it would be helpful in some ways.

- The communication would be much easier between people.
- It would save us all the time that we spend on studying languages and end some controversy.

But I can also see some downsides. This would be a nearly impossible feat to achieve and would also get rid of the values the language had on the people. But, I still believe it is a good idea. There are many other things that make people diverse. Although it would be hard to do, I think we should have only one language.
- When the people want to deal for something or to solve a problem, they could do it with same language and translator wouldn’t be necessary.
- The world may be extremely united or the exact opposite... Well for one, we wouldn't need translators,
- Since there's only one language, there wouldn't be cultural diversion
I think it would definitely be an advantage. First of all, there would be less confusion. Many times we misunderstand or take things out of context. One language equals less confusion.
- Having one language would make worldwide communications easier and tourists would find asking for directions, buying things etc, a lot easier.

In what ways would it negatively effect the world?

- There are some people who simply don't want to lose their traditional language.
- The downside of having one language that will be shared by all the world is that a single language would erase a lot of the cultural differences that are some of the biggest treasures mankind has to offer.
- Imagine how much poorer would the poetry of this world have been if all the poets used the same, dictionary, same syntax or the literature of the world in general
- Languages are the most unique, and beautiful part of the identity of any nation and loosing languages would mean loosing national identities and the beauty at their differences
I defend my opinion on the first part. This is all that I have explained so I don’t have nothing more to add.
