I deeply know the benefit of learning multiple languages. I know three myself. I was born in iran, and am fluent in spanish and english, so I have been exposed to all three cultures and languages all my life. I would love to know and learn from chinese, arabic, japanese, french, german, italian, portuguese, indian, american indigenous, etc.
Do we -all- have to spend all our lives learning -all- of these languages for us to communicate the greatness of each others' cultures and philosophies? Wouldnt it be better, given our finite time on this planet, to share all of these concepts more efficiently?
I understand that there is a desire to make things as efficient as possible, especially in our group. Diversity for a large part, stems from different experiences, especially experiences that stem from diverse society values, though.
I don't see an easy way to get many growing and living cultures, and everyone sharing one language, cultural content, goals, etc. A society can't be homogene and diverse at the same time.
