Yes, a single global language has more advantages. Although language is a large part of culture, and preserving cultural diversity is important, with a single global language we would all be able to more easily interact and appreciate each other's cultures. Communication is fundamental to cohabitating and forming bonds, and the lack of communication has historically led to conflict and distrust. Having one universal language would allow all human beings to communicate with each other. This would greatly increase the economic opportunities of those in developing nations, helping to lower economic inequality. Clerical errors due to mistranslations would never happen again. Without the need to deal with multiple languages, international travel would be much more seamless. While an aspect of our culture would be lost with the lack linguistic diversity, human culture is constantly evolving. Ultimately, it is the connections between people that are most important. A single global language would enable so many more of those, that this shift in human culture is worth it.

Yes, a single global language has more advantages than preserving linguistic diversity. The advantages of a single global language are: easier communication between people, more opportunities to learn more languages, and more opportunities to work in different countries. The advantages of preserving linguistic diversity are: the ability to communicate with different cultures, the ability to communicate with different dialects of the same language, and the ability to preserve the history and traditions of a language. However, there are also some disadvantages to preserving linguistic diversity. One disadvantage is that it can be difficult to learn a new language. Another disadvantage is that it can be difficult to find jobs if you don’t know a second language.

Both players presented valid arguments, but the human provided a more thorough and persuasive argument regarding the benefits of a single global language. They not only highlighted the advantages of easier communication and increased economic opportunities but also touched upon the importance of preserving culture and recognizing the value of adapting to change. The human acknowledged the potential loss of some aspects of culture but countered it by emphasizing the bonds created and strengthened through efficient communication brought about by a universal language. In addition, the human's argument appeared better structured and focused on the debate topic.
