Effect of Linguistic Relativism and Ethnocentrism in sustaining the future of a Political Majoritarian society.
This paper focuses on how linguistic situation of cultural relativism and ethnocentrism threatens the survival of the minority languages in multicultural environment that majority languages dominate national interest. The minority communities in their own rights need participation in the economy and political life of the society they belong. Many literatures and documentary evidences affirm that crisis and tension in most communities results from lack of protection of the rights of the minority groups. The trend towards homogeneity of global cultures simulated many minority groups to search for their native roots and hold tighter to their cultural identity. This situation requires the application of Artificial Intelligence in rights of the minority languages for reimagining conflict free political future. The findings revealed that essential component of good governance; efforts to prevent tension, conflict and the construction of equal political and social life create a stable human society. The study recommends the application of AI for creation of unity in diversity to accommodate rights of linguistic groups participation in governance.
Keywords: Artificial Intelligence. Sustainability, Multicultural society, Relativism, Ethnocentrism
