Like the video show, I think that the language is one of the things that makes
us human, because the language bring us the possibility of conserve in the collective
memory all the things that the humanity was discovered, the language help at
the maintenance and
of course the change of the culture, and because of this we can transformed our
reality, doesn’t matter if I am saying something real or not, the point is that
if I say the possibility exist, so the world and the humanity can change with a
simple sentence.
Now like Pagel say the language
joins us, but divide us too in the case of the language of the people was different,
creating the idea of superior and inferior languages. However I don’t think
that the solution is make a universal language, because like I say in the first
paragraph the language is culture so the different languages are different
culture and more diversity, the language makes that us conserve our differences
and our singularities despite of the constant process of globalization that we
live.
In my personal experience I
speak Spanish and I love it because a big part of the world can understand me,
I feel part of something, I feel part of Latin-American, and feel that I can
move and travel without difficulty for big part of my continent, but in the
same time I feel different and apart of the north American, Canadian or the Asians
and this permit me conserve my individuality or my identity like a Chilean
person or like a Spanish-speaker.
The Spanish is a great and rich lenguage, we have many ways to say the same thing. It's awesome.
