Talking Stick: The Real Life Of Today's Mayans
The development of the Mayan pictograms could not only benefit the Mayan culture, but cultures worldwide. To create a language that is entirely pictographic would benefit all people despite their social and economic status. Those that are living in poverty who don't have access to proper education would be able to understand simple instructions that they need to survive. It would also benefit travellers that venture to countries with different languages would be able to navigate, find food and shelter with ease and have a better understanding of their surroundings. However this benefit is also a disadvantage to the middle class as the experience of learning a foreign language and having a true understanding of other another countries' culture would most likely diminish as the need to learn the language would become of less importance.
