THE GLOBAL DILEMMA

        With great determination and enthusiasm,Westerners "successfully" became the conquerors of many nations for decades long.These Westerners,most notably Britain and America have scaled up to unimaginable heights to prove their capability.While I am not talking about imperialism,I would like to touch about the impact that they have left behind.

        Let go about the implications on our social structure and economy.These conquerors have indirect impact on language too.Seeing their lavish,stylish  lifestly now and before,many longed to lead such lives.We started to live,wlk and talk like them.Our cultures and way of living seemed boring and far from being labelled as uber.

        And in the advent of modern lifestyle,adaptation happened among the masses.Especially in terms of language,people,internationally,started to use English in daily conversation.Much importance was emphasised on English and less on our mother tongue.To our horror,some even "ridiculously" stopped using their mother tongue languages and recognised themselves as Englishman.This,particularly,happened in well-educated groups where they lack respect for their native languages.

         For me,it is worrisome to witness even small children unable to communicate using their mother tongue.They are more comfortable interacting using English Language.It is not wrong,however it kills the native language gradually.In such cases,the parents are there to be blamed.Through my observation,many parents (not all) talk to their children in English and even scold them if the kids do speak in their mother tongue.How awkward is this?

         Despite the existence of some groups championing the rights of native language,the importance of our mother tongue should be acknowledge and appreciated individually.Being the "lingua franca",English is crucial but it does not mean that we can have lackadaisical attitude towards our native language.Think about it!
