There are cultural reasons for learning a language of another country: it helps one understand its culture. It is a fundamental truth that cultures define themselves through languages, and language becomes a peephole look at the nation’s culture, its traditions and its history. Italian film director Federico Fellini says, “A different language is a different vision of life”. It is only when one perceives something the way it is expressed, he/ she can be said to have “understood” the expression. Seen like that, learning a language is almost comparable to a journey of discovery. Conversely, to lose a language is to lose a whole culture. This realization has led to determined efforts to preserve minority languages, including, for example, in Britain, the renaissance of the Welsh and Gaelic languages. There are similar widespread efforts in Britain to promote community languages, for example providing application forms in Urdu or other languages.
If one wants to realize art and literature expressed in other languages, one has to know the languages. True knowledge of a language only can lead to an exact interpretation of a literary work that has been done in a foreign language. Original form of an expression is often lost in its translation, that is why true appreciation of art and literature is possible on accessing it in the language of its own.

Cesare Lombroso
1. Professor Lombroso is a criminologist whose views, though not altogether correct, caused a lot of interest and made other people look into the problem of crime in a more scientific way. He is regarded as the father of the scientific study of criminals, or criminology. Lombroso studied at the universities of Padua, Vienna, and Paris, and later he became a professor of psychiatry and forensic medicine, a director of a mental asylum.
2. In an enormous book called The Criminal, he set out the idea that there is a definite criminal type, who can be recognized by his or her appearance. Some of what he said is difficult to believe. For example, he said that left-handed persons have a criminal instinct. Among the things he considered important were the shape of the head, colour of the hair, the eyes, the curve of the chin and forehead and if the ears stick out.
3. Lombroso's theories were widely influential in Europe for a time, but his emphasis on hereditary causes of crime was later strongly rejected in favour of environmental factors. Lombroso tried to reform the Italian penal system, and he encouraged more humane and constructive treatment of convicts through the use of work programs intended to make them more productive members of society.
