English is without a doubt the universal language. This is not a question of linguistic imperialism, but rather the reality of living in a modern, globalized world. Not only is English the international language of business, education, cultural arts, science & technology, tourism, diplomacy, it is also the second language taught in many schools around the world.
The Global Citizenship that English has created is a collection of processes, skills, character traits, and attitudes that together form an identity that transcends geographic and political borders to include all of humanity.
