Disavanteges of lingua franca
Weegy:
Negative Aspects As remarked above, empires do not usually take much interest in foreign cultures, and the United States is no exception. Most Americans only watch their own films, listen to their own music, read their own books[1]. [ This natural feature of empires has been reinforced in the case of America by cultural characteristics inherited from a British tradition of insularity and wariness of anything foreign dating back to the Middle-Ages. English-speaking cultures are essentially self-centred even though a minority is certainly open to the rest of the world. As a result, Anglophones tend to think that they are the norm, that the way they do things is natural, universal, implicitly better, and this gives the hegemony of English a colonial flavour. Albert Memmi's descriptions of the colonised and the coloniser's mindsets are surprisingly valid in the present situation. The world seems to have has accepted the cultural, economic and political domination of the US. Even though it might arguably be better to be dominated by the US rather than by any other country, domination is intrinsically unpleasant and dangerous. America is certainly not a benign country, and the capital-friendly neo-conservative views circulated worldwide by some English-speaking media, e.g. so-called "independent" news networks such as CNN and Fox News and self-styled "quality" magazines such as the UK's The Economist, are certainly ethically questionable, not to say downright evil. Then again, other countries are no better. There are other examples of very negative cultural domination and we shall now examine the situation in the field of academic research. ]

The disadvantages of a lingua franca include loss of cultural identity, linguistic imperialism, limited expression, unequal access, and language endangerment.
