Assignment:
Watch: Star Trek "Measure of a Man" - The Next Generation - Season 2 Episode 9, "Similitude" - Enterprise Season 3 Episode 10, and "Hippocratic Oath" - Deep Space Nine Season 4 Episode 3
1. Which episodes did you watch? What did you think of of that episode overall?
2. The episodes depict futuristic technologies, but Star Trek frequently utilizes this setting as a platform to address contemporary scientific concerns. Explore online to determine the decade or era when the series was broadcast. Considering the prevalent science issues during that period (which may require some research on your part, such as searching for "science in the [late '80s, early '90s, late '90s, 2000s, etc]"), what are your thoughts on the portrayal of science and technology in general in those episodes?
3. Has society's attitudes towards these S&T issues changed?
4. One prevalent critique of Star Trek is its perceived alignment with a Western cultural perspective. Did this impact the extent to which you could derive enjoyment from your watching experience?
5. If you were to write the same episode and explore the same science themes from a Filipino perspective, what do you think you would have done differently? Is your particular Filipino approach significantly different?
