1. The ubiquity of English and the booming international tourism exert some adverse effects on the aboriginal culture and minority languages to some extent. 2.

Often the community is pressured to give up its language and even its ethnic and cultural identity. 13. The disappearance of diverse languages is the disappearance of diverse cultures. 14.

The globalization of culture will ultimately lead to a homogenous world culture dominated by western and American influences.
