Do you think it is important to try and protect these endangered and
dying cultures and languages? Why or why not?
I think it is important
to protect this cultures and his languages because each one of those cultures
has their own customs, habits, rituals, beliefs and everything that a community
have that distinguishes it from the others. In the videos they show a lot of
pictures of different cultures in the world and when they told their stories of
each one, and all the problems they had, that impact me. They all clung in
someone they believe, that makes them to have hope. I think that we have to
help and protect this cultures because they are suffering in one way and some
of these cultures are related to our country for example in the Tairona in Sierra
Nevada de Santa Marta the Arahuacs they are part of our culture and in some way
they are providing us with their water, their plants, their environment in
general.
What kind of contribution to different cultures make to society as a
whole?
They make society more diverse, they provide values
and customs that make more interesting and different from the others.
Is it vital to have cultural
diversity or should we eventually coalesce to all be part of the same global
culture, speaking one language?
I think it is vital to
have cultural diversity because otherwise there would be no culture, that’s why
is called cultural diversity is like a mixture of different characteristics
that define one of us. If we just speak one language and have one culture there
wouldn’t be diversity there wouldn’t be differences and everything would be monotone
and boring.
