Multilingualism, Mission: Impossible (II)

Many centuries ago some powerful languages exploit minority languages by its power. Someone thought it was a soft chain for the slave. Slave could kill the slave owner once they broken the iron chain, but if the slave owner took off the chain and taught them a powerful language the slave would payback by their hard labour willingly. At that time the multilingualism was the only choice of the minority language, but today, things changed. We find more and more rich countries pay the bill for minority language speaker to learn a new language. There is no exploit between the deals. In this way the event changed, on the other hand, in an information age, huge quantity of information already bewildered, everybody, we still promote a slogan as multilingualism, it turned to be a politic dogma. Beside either the multilingualism in Europe or in Unite Nation is but ridiculous power struggle. If the multilingualism is real then why the European Union only respect the right of 24 official languages what about the rest unofficial language? Will they accept the fate of being abolished? And United Nation only recognise six languages as official language. What about the rest languages? So the multilingualism is the no way out, the only solution is rationalism.

Both multilingualism and rationalism are a sort of idealism but the form will lead the society of the globe from mess to chaos. The rationalism can lead people from compromising to fully mutual understanding.
