About Me

My name is Edith Chan. I am a designer and illustrator based in Seattle, USA. I love dreaming, writing and drawing. Pencils and paint brushes are my magical wands giving my imaginations form. I was born and brought up in Macao, the first and the last European colony in China. Living in Macau gave me the opportunity to explore western and eastern arts. I have spent most of my life in this little city, until 2007 I moved to the United States and started this blog to document my adventure in America. You don’t have to be a Blogger or Google member to leave comments. Please take a moment to let me know you were here. Thank you and have a beautiful day!

The World with One Language

 

Learning a foreign language can be frustrating. When you are attempting to acquire a new language, you have to learn a whole bunch of new vocabularies, pronunciations, grammar, slangs, idioms, etc. It’s literally a life-long process to acquire a new language.

How cool would it be if there was only one language in the world?
Everybody would just speak the same language and communicate with each other effortlessly regardless of race. Is it really possible? Of course it is; take a look at how Beagles talk to German Shepherds, and how Superb Lyrebirds sing with Kakapos. If animals can share the same language with the same species, why can’t we?

With only one language in the world, we won’t have to worry about language barriers anymore. Therefore, we could travel around the world, work across the globe, read the original versions of the most famous literature from different countries, and meet new friends from diverse backgrounds. Moreover, companies will have more business opportunities, because they can produce commercials in just one language, and expand their market across the globe. As far as medicine is concerned, western and eastern medical researchers can exchange thoughts and ideas, learn from each other, and work together to fight incurable diseases.

Everything has two sides. Of course there are both advantages and disadvantages to only having one language in the world. Translators could lose their jobs; local businesses could face fierce competition from international giant companies, etc. However, in the big picture, I think it’s a good thing to unite all languages.

With the development of human culture, many countries promote diversity and equal opportunities by fighting racial discrimination. I think that unifying language is the best way to totally eliminate racial discrimination, because the fact is that people don’t discriminate against skin color; people discriminate against the language you speak.
