Yes, language identity and culture play an essential role in social identity and communicate a particular group’s beliefs, values, customs, and enhances feelings of identity. However, being exposed to different cultures and languages helps us to learn diversity and develop cultural intelligence. It helps to build tolerance and accepting our differences and learn to coexist. Learning about people from different places can also play a significant role in nourishing our relationship with others. It also develops a healthy community and enhances problem-solving situations. We all know that human beings are diverse in many ways for example we have different lifestyles, religions, gender, race, and nationality. Despite those differences, we are all humans who feel pain and joy.

Being exposed to diverse cultures can help us to appreciate more in life this is because the more you interact with people from different cultures, the more you value and respect them and this helps us to understand life better. Finally, being exposed to the diverse cultures can help us to prevent and overcome the problem of racial and ethnic division among different communities. This can only be enhanced if we educate the members of the community on the importance of treating each other equally.
