Big Question Abstract

Language is the worlds biggest means of communication. Why then, is there not a universal language so that people could understand eachother flawlessly everywhere? Foriegn affairs concerning all types of matters would be made much simpiler. However, we would loose parts of every cultures, except for one. Now the question becomes, is it worth sacrificing so much historic culture to make life a little easier; or would having a universal language take away from part of the experience of traveling, working, and studying abroud.

  1. I like how you used examples of how a universal language could help, for example studying abroad. I want to study abroad in college. Anyways, you need more purpose and organization. Good abstract!

  2. Overall, I think your abstract is pretty clear in regard to the topics that will be covered within the paper as a whole. The question of "why hasn't it" or "should it" happen immediately entered my mind after reading this. On a different note though, you should maybe use the rhetorical questions more sparingly so as to leave some thought to the reader. A great start though.

  3. Good abstract, this easily sets up what you will research about. I have never thought about this approach to different languages, but I am interested to see what you find!
