Subject: diversity of languagues brings numerous benefits

I strongly believe that because of encouraging variation
linguistic, this nation will enjoy numerous benefits from it. Firstly, language
is cultural identity and It is also contain nation's knowledge. There will a
lot of things transmitted through language. Therefore, imagine if there are
great languages in one country, how much knowledge will be contained in it? For
instance, knowledge about traditional medical: acupuncture, massages or herbal
and so on.   Diversity linguistic also poses economic
benefits due to the fact that this country can trade, negotiate, discuss and
have an agreement with different countries easier. Thus, I think the government
should encourage diversity linguistic in their nations.

     It is my pleasure to participate in this interest desiccation and share my opinion about this issue. In fact, migration from one place to another has existed since human being has emerged. In past, people move from one place to another place where they can find their necessity for themselves and their animals. In the present time, migration has many different forms and many different reasons. While some people immigrate in order to find better life standard. Some of them immigrate for political causes. While others travel to another place temporary but when they arrive, they changed their mind to stay forever.

     Everybody has his own culture and his mother language. When they move, they transfer everything with them, their culture, language and customs. Some of them resist the new culture, and try to keep his native aspects alive while others fail. Many people think that government should pass law to force them to leave their culture. However, others are not so sure. In this dissection I'm going to present my opinion which is totally against the idea of passing law to force immigrants to leave their heritages.

     First of all, diversity of culture in one  community leads to  a strong community. Take the USA as an example about this issue.  Many people believe that due to the US's diversity, USA's societies are strong. Some of them went farther and said that with the first wave of immigrants who came to the USA, American's communities have became much more stronger.

     The second reason is that, diversity of culture is a clear signal about the beauty and alive of the community. People can present their own culture and customs in their own way. This situation can be clearly seen in Melbourne where there is a lot of different ethnic groups live together. In Melbourne, there are different styles of life for different ethnic people. There are Chinese restaurant for example, or Japanese, Arabic and Italian. There is also China Town, where  everyone can enjoy Chinese atmosphere and can see whole China in the heart of Melbourne. In Sydney Road for instance, people enjoy Arabic aspects and they can know whatever they want about Arab.

    To sum up, because of  the previous reasons, governments should not force immigrants to lose their heritageunless the governments have special considerations or have a real reason to  force them to lose their cultures and their own language.
