Cultural Diversity: TED Talk

There are many issues that threatened cultural diversity from biodiversity in the world today. Today in the world 50 percent of species of different cultures that once existed are gone. This is not from change because cultures are contastly changing or from technology, what to blame is power. Different countries and cultures want to gain power to they go around and drive out other cultures from their land.  Deforestation in Southeast Asia was to blame for driving out the Panam people who lived in the forest until about 10 years ago but now most of their people were turned to prostitution. Another problem would be disease that drove the people out of their land. Language loss can be to blame for these cultures to be lost. At one point in time there were 6000 different languages people spoke, but nearly half now arent being taught which is realistically making them exstint, if nobody can speak that language anymore, how is it going to be possible for generations next to learn the language. 

Personally I dont think its necessary for the government to step in and protect these cultures to make sure they live on longer. Its a natural thing for things to just fall out and be extinct. Though, it would be helpful for the government to enforce rules to make sure other cultures cant invade the others land but its like natual selection, the people who are the best fit for the land can take it. And if the government did step in how would they make sure these cultures would live on, would they make these children learn the language from their ancesters? I dont think that its a realistic goal to have the government help these cultures.
