1.) Socially, I think it helps you identify with the people in your community if you speak their language, understand the nuances of their language. And also, actually, language used in different levels of society differs. The way you talk to a man in the street is different from the way you talk to a man in a higher position. You need to know a foreign language so you don't offend them. 
2.) Economically, I think it helps you communicate better and attract more customers to your business if you speak their language. It's also an advantage if you're an employee, and you speak their language. You'll probably get hired or paid more for the extra skill (speaking their language). 
3. Culturally, if you don't understand their language, you can't understand their culture. They're so intertwined. So certain cultures will emphasize the tone of speaking, you know, you don't know if you don't know their language. Or like, words of respect you don't know, you might offend them without meaning to.

Cultural - Some countries have different levels of formalities so knowing the importance of expressing those formalities (phrasing something or addressing someone) is important in order not to offend someone. If the country is generally fine with that and treats everyone the same, you don't have to show certain formalities, but that is not the case with all countries. 

2.  Social - You can communicate with more people, and if you go to more cultured places, you can learn new things by talking and communicating with people there (culture and other important things). The social and cultural part of a language are quite similar
