English language invasion

Every country has its own unique mindset, language and culture, and they all are connected, so if even one element of this chain is changed, all other two will be altered too. Because of this countries are trying to save their legacy, especially now, in age of globalization, then language like English are being widely used all over the world.

Today a lot of countries are trying to prevent the invasion of English language. One of the best examples is China. To save their language from invasion they have banned YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, also almost all western movies are banned. Mr Huang, the head of the China International Publishing group, gave a comment, that English language will endanger the future of Chinese language. Now he is trying to convince government to make a law which would ban using English in names of companies or places. In his opinion, if Chinese words are not used in American newspapers, there will be no English words in China. But not all people thinks like Mr Huang. One of professor of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences suggests that without English words the Modern Chinese language will be destroyed.

Another good example of resistance is France. In 1994 they made a law, which forced to make a footnote in French to every billboard in English. Nowadays it is not helping, because companies have found loopholes in this law. Now in France are a lot of groups, like Avenir de la langue français – Future of France language, which are trying to convince government to save native language.

To sum up, it is very important to save legacy of country, but also it very hard to fight with an enemy which is more stronger and is hiding in the shadows.
