Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Many of the Star Trek episodes from the Next Generation make good educational case studies. Much of the series writing was reviewed by Communication Theorists to insure interpersonal consistency. The result was character development that was believable and observable. Many colleges and universities around the country use this episode to study the impact that moving into a new and unknown culture can have on the individual. Riker must do what he can to fit into the Klingon command structure while preserving his own identity. The story does a good job of pointing out how easy it is to misunderstand events when viewed from only one perspective and how important it is to not carry our cultural predispositions into another culture. To a certain extent, it advocates the idea of "when in Rome, do as the Romans do". However, it also shows that the host culture can learn from having an outsider identify options that may not have been considered before. All in all, it is fun to watch and makes the classroom more interactive as students discuss what they see.
