The expansion of
English can be seen as a good and positive thing in areas such as technology or
science where is important to have a common language in order to gain
effectiveness in those sectors. But English as a single and common language in
the world brings bad news to the world of literature, since everybody would
read in English and other languages would be forgotten and dead. Everyone would
speak English in a near future but, is it worth it? I mean, do we want to
communicate in a better way with other people in the world? Probably, that is
what we need, communication! Perhaps it is the lack of contact what has done
the world is upside down, where there are countries at war, misunderstandings
between religions, and where each nation thinks of its own interests. In such
cases, English could be the best of the tools in order to make human race a
closer and happier one; therefore this would mean literature would not be so
important and it would be pushed into the background.
