In my opinion we as a multi-linguist could make ironic changes in the society, in fact the changes happened in the society in recent decades are due to the translators. Because the translators act as a bridge between different cultures of the world. As different societies have different norms and without the language specialist the societies would not be able to communicate among each other.And hence we are also known as Cultural Diplomats.
Language is one of the most important parts of the human development. Language itself has bought very significant changes in the society. It is the thing through which the humans have made most of its development. It is simply a way of communication but it support every other technicality of society, even Cultural ties and economic relationships totally depends on the language.
John Stuart Mill once said," Language is the light of the mind."
As I have read in a blog that diplomacy is not possible without the translators. Diplomacy depends directly or indirectly on the translators or interpreters.
A ' Language + mass media' is a perfect combination of the influence of language on human and their physiology. Through which one can communicate and convey their mind across boarders . It is medium of expression. Different countries have different ways of expressions that’s why translators or interpreters are important for the sharing of views and bridging the gap and hence here we come with the requirement of Journalism a lot of ideas and creative news can be conveyed without any hassel. Because language boosts your thinking and increases your area of creativity. It provides you with new words and phrases. Language shapes our thoughts and discipline.
As per a study," Multilingual people could posses multi personalities." And according to a research multilingual people don’t suffer from old age Physiological Disorder. It is because of the knowledge of different cultures, as language is directly connected to the culture and the history of the country Language is the most vivid evidence of the change. So that's why it is a fact that language opens your mind and make you learn about the diversities of the world. And media is an extension to the power of language. With the help to media and language we could change the scenario of the society as well as the world. Media gives you the opportunity to connect with different people of the world at one instance and you could easily interact with them in a language like English, lingua franca and difference came when you interact with them in their native language speaker specially in a monolingual regime , they don’t feel ease talking listening or even conveying their necessities. It has been very well conveyed in one of the bollywood movie English Winglish the importance of language. Once my teacher told me that when you talk to someone in your language you talk with their brain and when you talk to them in their language you talk to their heart. And in my opinion it is correct when we interact with someone we too desire to talk in our language as we feel comfortable in our native language. And here media plays its role of reaching people’s heart when we spread a news in their language they react to it more and they easily comprehend the news of their importance.
At last i only want to express my gratitude to Mr. Ravi Kumar to give me the opportunity to write and express my views on such a massive platform of Modlingua.
