Language As
Nationalism
English language dominance
worldwide is a concern today
for certain countries. http://amadeusbv.blogspot.com/2015/06
Here is why:
English is the language of the
Internet.
Spreading a
language makes the
culture spreading it
dominant(Cultural invasion)

Language
divides, but
also unifies.
https://infocus.delltechnologies.com/bart_driscoll/crossing-cultural-chasm-devops/
The English language has
been a case for Puerto
Rico’s statehood, to the
dismay or joy of the
citizens there.
http://www.prinforma.com/archives/1875
To sum it all
up:
“A language is not just words.
It’s a culture, a tradition, a
unification of a community, a
whole history that creates what
a community is. It’s all
embodied in a language.”
-Noam Chomsky
