Because of our global communications and transportation networks, this is inevitable and unavoidable.
I don't really see merging cultures as a bad thing, either. Cultures change and assimilate into one another. It's just the way it is. Perhaps in several hundred years, when we can all speak the same language, we'll have a much larger pool of human resources to draw from when we need to tackle problems.
