ИСТИНА

1. Since the end of the XX century, the world community has entered into the era of multidimensional globalization. The time where the spatio-temporal parameters of communication have practically ceased to be essential due to modern means of transport and communication facilities. The last serious obstacle for business, political, scientific and household intercourse between different nations is remained the language. 2. The strengthening or weakening of the position, distribution and the importance of language of these or those people is a consequence of its economic, political and socio-cultural development. In other words, the impact factor of any natural language in the system of international relations is directly proportional to the place, which the people who speak it are taking on the global stage. 3. The character and essence of each nation is reflected through its culture, which is always unique and distinctive. Since the core of any culture is a mother tongue, the struggle for the strengthening of its positions and higher status among other languages will never be weakened. Moreover, this fight will only keep escalating with the rise of globalization. Events in post-soviet Ukraine, largely determined by the contradictions in the language field as well as linguistic problems in Latvia, Estonia, Catalonia or Quebec, just confirm this conclusion. 4. Humanity today is in dire need for a single language for international communication because of objective reasons and trends of social development, which is following the way of increasing globalization. The future is ready to show the reinforcement and exacerbation of this problem. 5. In today's world of globalization some existing natural languages will be ranged according to how widely-spread and powerful they are. In this case, the most common mother tongues will wage a severe struggle for the right to have the status of a regional or even local level along with the strengthening of a single language of international communication. Others will be concerned about their own survival. 6. The artificial creation of a single language for international communication is virtually impossible as international experience shows, in particular, on the example of Esperanto. Artificial languages are quite suitable and even necessary to address specific problems in different spheres of human activity, but they will always be on the secondary position in relation to natural languages, as they are their offspring. In other words, they will always be companions or satellites of natural languages, explicitly or implicitly. The reason is not just that artificial language can not compete with the natural language for the semantic richness of tones and speech patterns, but that language which is taken out of the cultural context, the specific socio-economic and political conditions of human life becomes dead and non-viable. 7. Today humanity does not have any alternative. It is forced to make a choice in favor of one of natural languages. In this case we are not talking about some well-thought or specially calculated alternative choice. It is an objective process and it cannot be changed by neither negotiations nor voting of all interested parties. 8. Objective circumstances rigidly dictate their choice. In our case the choice fell on English. We can agree with that or not, but the current situation does not provide anyone of good opportunities for flourishing business outside its country. It is impossible to develop international relations without knowledge of the English. If humanity can avoid collapse and destruction of already existing planetary relations, then the modern multidimensional globalization and future total globalization will leave on the roadside of history those countries and nations who are ignoring the English. 9. Some important fundamental questions are arising according to the previous view: - What are the limits and possibilities of the spread of English, if we bear in mind that any national culture is alive as long as her language is? - What will happen to the national languages in those countries, whose role and significance in the socio-economic, political and cultural spheres will grow? - Is the sustainable development of humanity possible in light of the inevitable confrontation between the language of international communication and mother tongues? 10. The answers to these and other similar questions are to be found in a correct understanding of the global world and appropriate reaction of the world community on new challenges and threats. The problem of the combating of natural languages for their right to dominate and to take a higher position or at least to exist cannot be solved through regulation of public life, which is a base for modern international relations. Although this problem can be at least mitigated or neutralized through the establishment of appropriate structures of global governance. In this case we should be talking about the formation of the complex system of global governance that includes all the necessary elements of such management. The universal rules of morality and global law, which should be the basis for the functioning of all branches of government: legislative, executive and judicial are the most important parts of such elements. While this topic is for another discussion.
