Do we need to have a common language around the world?
Yes of course we do. If we dont we are not able to understand each other. There is this one story that told that people were made to speak a different language each, (i guess god did that as a punishment in that story) and therefore nobody was able to communicate in any way with each other. Today it would be the same, just on a larger scale (with languages limited to regions), if we would not have kind of agreed to use english as a world language. I think its very important that humanity did so.
