Some people think we need a universal language. However, the world is just fine with its separate cultures and languages. People have tried to make up a universal language, such as Dr. Zamenhof, a Polish Doctor Who in 1871 made up a language called Esperanto.
Zamenhof made Esperanto an easy language to learn; there are only a few rules and exceptions while English has quite a few. Also, the last letter in the word tells you what part of speech it is. However, Esperanto failed as being the world's only language.
People think we should have a universal language for many reasons, one of which is business. If you cannot communicate in business, you will not go very far in what you are trying to do. People say that if we do have a universal language, it should be one of the major ones, such as English, Chinese, German, Spanish, etc.
However, I do not think the world needs a universal language. Once again, the world is happy with its separate cultures and languages.

ViviWhile a universal language could facilitate communication between people who speak different languages, it is not necessary for effective communication. Translation tools and multilingualism can bridge language barriers. Cultural diversity and linguistic differences are valuable aspects of human identity and should be preserved.
