What is the point of languages when all cultures are fundamentally the same?

All cultures value happiness, money, success, family, and good looks - really, the things which makes it essential for us to survive and reproduce. I don't see how learning a new language can open your eyes to a new culture. You can read translated works anyway.

(Btw I'm talking about a not so useful language such as a language that is rarely spoken by locals in your area)

Nigfer, are you serious?

Good looks, success, family and happiness mean vastely different things to different people, let alone entire cultures.
