Reply to comment by j_claus12 in TIL that there are more than 160 endangered languages in the United States alone. In addition to many Native American languages, Cajun French, Eastern Yiddish, and Martha's Vineyard, Hawaii, and Plains Sign Language are all endangered. by afeeney

source for what? the factors for global unification are common language, currency, socio-political goals, education and technology. technology has enhanced education and socio-political unity a great deal, but what we need is a concerted effort by every government to work towards a common socio-political commonality. When our laws and socio-economics are universal, we can be free to go anywhere and know we are under the same legal and moral constraints and freedoms. When we are a unified peoples, THEN we can attack any problem or challenge and overcome it, from space colonization to eradicating disease, poverty, etc..

I didn't make them up. These are what philosophers and social studies experts say. Me, I'd advocate killing off everyone to have a peaceful society. No humans. They ruin everything

very tempted to just say I am the sourced, even though i read it in many sci-fi novels and other sources throughout my life, just so you would engage with the ISSUE, not the source. ITs about IDEAS, not veracity. what criteria do YOu think we need to unify the world, is what I am getting at.

However, I did manage to find one source that addresses some of these and adds more. https://opentext.wsu.edu/marketing/chapter/2-2-the-international-marketing-environment-3/

IT seems thee are so many companies and organizations using "world unity" as a theme or goal, the criteria I mentioned have become obscured by them. So, the question is, do you have any IDEAS on what the criteria are for world unity, or not? there isn't any criteria set in concrete, and are considered FACT. This is a discussion about IDEAS. I look for factual sources where appropriate too, but this is not an instance where that is appropriate .
