What if everyone in the world spoke the same language?

If everyone in the world spoke the same language, the world would be more boring. Every culture would speak the same language, so no linguistic distinction. Communicating would be much easier though. No troubles explaining yourself in another country. Everyone can understand what you say.

That can also be a disadvantage. No more gossiping about that foreign guy while standing right behind him. One language also means no other languages. Wouldn’t that make school a lot easier?

If you ask me, I like having different languages in the world. It makes a country and its inhabitants more interesting. Trying to explain yourself abroad sometimes becomes a real challenge and I like that. It can be frustrating though, but most of the time creative communication will get you there. 

What if...

Are you bored? Here are some things to think about. That will keep you busy for a while.

What if everyone in the world spoke the same language?

What if everyone had the same character and interests?

What if no one could die?

What if your parents wouldn’t have met each other?

What if Albert Einstein was never born?

What if dinosaurs wouldn’t be extinct?

What if we could control the weather?

What if there were no drugs and alcohol?

I’ll give you some time to think about this. In a few days I’ll give you my view on some of these ‘what ifs’.
