So the question Patricia asked was: Is the world's focus on English preventing the spread of great ideas in other languages?  Personally, I do think that people kind of...depend too much on English.  Yes, it would be good to have a language that everyone could speak because then the whole world would be able to communicate in a sense, but I think that like Patricia said, the cultures and ways of other people get lost because their language dies.  Knowing more than one language is a good thing because it keeps people diverse and therefore people can see things from different perspectives, which makes people much more intelligent.  It is pretty important for people to know other languages because it's easier to share ideas, music, culture, or to just communicate with people who do not speak that other language as their first language.  I do think that languages kind of disappear when we try to get everyone to speak one language and we need to preserve those other cultures, not lose them as time passes.
