Review of Worlds of Difference: Finding a Voice


Bravo! The globe-hopping information presented in this thoroughly-researched feature is very well presented with sounds and voices that helped to not only hold the attention but more. The thought-provoking program revealed that many languages are dying -- reported as one every two weeks.

With 6800 languages in the world multiplied times two weeks, that would equal 13,600 weeks which would mean (if the present rate held its course), it would be a little more than 261 years before we are back to the Tower of Babel! Will fewer languages help man get along better and mean more peace between different nations and people -- or less?

Would one language help to make worldwide cosmocide less likely -- or more providential? This program revealed a reality and stimulated the kind of thinking that all people should undertake more often than most of us probably do. After giving it some thought, the facts presented in this program makes this writer very happy that everyone does not speak only English!
