By that I don't mean abolishing existing languages, rather choosing one of the existing languages as the primary language for the entire world. That way, there would be a single global language which everyone will know and will be able to communicate in, alongside their local language/s if they want to be bilingual.
Positives:
+ Ease of communication.
+ Less confusion with future interpretations of texts, especially with religion.
+ Easier to relate with one another.
Negatives:
- Partial loss of cultural diversity.
I think if we get to that level it will happen naturally.
Such as trying to set up a global standard for Constitutional rights for all people.
and a means of redressing grievances civilly to prevent violence and oppression.
a lot of the mediation to reach agreement on this will be in English,
but after that it can be translated to reach all people of all nations.
I don't think it needs to be forced, but will be motivated naturally in order to form agreements on peace and justice by consensus among people. the language necessary will come from pushing forward the process of consensus building for democracy sake and equal protections and representation for all people.
