(3)Similarly, human society in its progress toward the clichéd “global village” is liable to make the world less stable not more stable. (4)We are eliminating languages, traditional diets, and eroding cultural practices at an alarming rate. (5)The whole world wants to speak the same language, eat the same food and wear the same clothes. (6)But will this homogeneity be good for the human species? (7) Biologists would tend to say no.
(8)Certainly a world where we can all understand each other and share common interests is appealing on one level.
