Some people say the popularity of English and tourism will harm the minorities and minor languages, to what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion.
With globalization process, the common language - English has been using by a great amount of people, especially used by tourists who travel around the world. Some scholars point that the rapidly globalization development would harm minority cultures (minorities and minor languages), while in my opinion, it is not entirely true.
It is generally acknowledged that tourists bring newly information and their own thoughts to minorities via English, and this behavior affect local culture. Firstly, minorities would learn English if they need communicate with tourists. As the trend of increasing using proportion, minor languages would gradual disappear if minorities get used to speak English. Secondly, people always enhance themselves initiatively when they have been told there is a better way. The information minorities got, makes them thought deeply. Meanwhile, it might change their traditional life style, such as, use lighter to make fire instead of drill woods. Therefore, tourism and English are really impacting local surroundings negatively.
On the other hand, minority’s culture and minor languages have been concerning by increasing number of individuals because tourism make people get better understand how important to protect them. Governments and individuals are willing to invest in this field due to the well understanding. Based on such circumstance, both of them are protected by powerful supportive which can ensure the culture will never disappear.
In conclusion, it is the truth that minorities and minor languages have been affecting harmful. But, I am strongly believed that it is impossible for has negative influence only, because they are getting an enormous benefit from tourism as well.

Some people pointed the rapidly globalization development would harm minority cultures (mainly in minorities themselves and minor languages), while I think, it is not quite true.
Tourists brought variety of information and their own thoughts to minorities by English when they traveled to other nation. In this case, it had affected local culture for sure. Firstly, minorities would learn English if they should communicate with tourists. As the proportion of used English rise continuously, minor languages would gradual disappear. Secondly, people always heighten themselves actively when they have been told they can do better. The newly information minorities known, makes them reconsider problems and try something new. That is to say, it might change their traditional life style, such as, use lighter to make fire instead of drill woods. Therefore, tourism and English are impacting local surroundings negatively in some extent.
On the other hand, minority’s culture and minor languages have been concerned with an increasing number of individuals, because tourism has been making people get better understand the importance of protect them. Governments and individuals are willing to invest in this field due to well understanding. According to such circumstance, both of them are protected by powerful supportive and it benefits minority cultures.
In conclusion, it is true that minorities and minor languages have been affecting harmful. But, I am insist that whole event should not has negative influence only, because they are getting an enormous benefit from tourism as well.
