PUB TYPE Guides Classroom Use Teaching Guides (For Teacher) (052) EDRS PRICE MFO1 /PCO1 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS English Instruction; Higher Education; Instructional Innovation; *Mass Media Role; Mathematics Instruction; *Popular Culture; Science Instruction; Secondary Education; Time IDENTIFIERS Deep Space 9; *Star Trek; Star Trek the Next Generation; Story Concepts ABSTRACT A teacher of reading across the curriculum uses stories, many based on the television show "Star Trek"or its derivatives "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (STNG) and "Deep Space 9," to illustrate educational theories and practice,. Theteacher began a discussion of the nature of language, meaning and the significance of literacy by discussing an episode of STNG entitled "Darmok" in which an alien race spoke only in metaphor. Humor is present in many episodes of "Star Trek," as wellas concepts like the power of fear. Cultural differences are explored in a number of episodes of STNG. The teacher uses "Star Trek"as an introduction to a lesson and as an impetus for story writing. One of the most enduring qualities of the three series is their focuson problem solving, which can serve as demonstrations for students. The series are also used for teaching the technique of role playing. Episodes of STNG and of "Deep Space 9" can be used to teach contentareas such as English, mathematics, history, physics, chemistry, and biology: "Clues" involves an examination ofspace and time; "Drumhead" involves a Joe McCarthy-like investigator; "Cause and Effect" involves a time loop; "Time's Arrow," involving backward timetravel and Mark Twain; "Emissary" deals with guilt, responsibility,and explaining the nature of time to an immortal-ace; and "The Forsaken" which involves a "shape-shifting" character.

  • Holocaust Im Holodeck? Raumschiff Enterprise Und Die Moralischen Dilemmata an Den Grenzen Des Universums
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Hochschulschriftenserver - Universität Frankfurt am Main Holocaust im Holodeck? Raumschiff Enterprise und die moralischen Dilemmata an den Grenzen des Universums Hanno Loewy Ein kobheerianischer Frachter bringt einen rätselhaften Passagier auf die Raumstation Deep Space Nine. Der Mann leidet offenbar unter einer seltenen Krankheit, dem Kalla-Nohra Syndrom. Major Kira Nerys (Nana Visitor) lässt den Unbekannten festnehmen, denn er weckt einen Verdacht in ihr. Wie fast alle Folgen der Serie StarTrek, hierzulande besser bekannt als Raumschiff Enterprise, präsentierte auch Duet (die deutsche Fassung wurde unter dem Titel Der undurchschaubare Marritza ausgestrahlt) 1993 ein moralisches Dilemma. Und wie in so vielen Folgen von StarTrek spielten die Sternenvölker der Cardassianer und der Bajoraner dabei eine besondere Rolle. Doch davon später. Auch nach 1997, als in der nächsten Staffel Voyager sich StarTrek auf den Weg nach Hause zur Erde, machte trübten die spannungsreichen Beziehungen zwischen Cardassianern und Bajoranern so manches Mal die Stimmung an Bord. Nun ist StarTrek tatsächlich wieder „zu Hause“ angekommen. Raumschiff Enterprise fliegt nicht nur wieder, die Serie heißt nun auch so: seit September 2001 führt in den USA die fünfte Staffel der Science-Fiction Serie den Klassiker in seine eigene Vorgeschichte, seit März sind die neuen Folgen nun auch in Deutschland zu sehen. Als Kirk und Spock vor bald vierzig Jahren zu ihren Reisen ans Ende des Universums aufbrachen, konnte man sich schon denken, dass uns dort unsere eigene Gegenwart begegnen würde. Fantastische Chiffren einer amerikanischen Utopie im Umbruch, eines Melting-pot- Universalismus der seine inneren Widersprüche zu erkennen begann, der im Modell einer neuen Welt die Gegensätze der alten zu entdecken begann.

  • Major Kira of Star Trek: Ds9: Woman of the Future, Creation of the 90S
    MAJOR KIRA OF STAR TREK: DS9: WOMAN OF THE FUTURE, CREATION OF THE 90S Judith Clemens-Smucker A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2020 Committee: Becca Cragin, Advisor Jeffrey Brown Kristen Rudisill © 2020 Judith Clemens-Smucker All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Becca Cragin, Advisor The 1990s were a time of resistance and change for women in the Western world. During this time popular culture offered consumers a few women of strength and power, including Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’s Major Kira Nerys, a character encompassing a complex personality of non-traditional feminine identities. As the first continuing character in the Star Trek franchise to serve as a female second-in-command, Major Kira spoke to women of the 90s through her anger, passion, independence, and willingness to show compassion and love when merited. In this thesis I look at the building blocks of Major Kira to discover how it was possible to create a character in whom viewers could see the future as well as the current and relatable decade of the 90s. By laying out feminisms which surround 90s television and using original interviews with Nana Visitor, who played Major Kira, and Marvin Rush, the Director of Photography on DS9, I examine the creation of Major Kira from her conception to her realization. I finish by using historical and cognitive poetics to analyze both the pilot episode “Emissary” and the season one episode “Duet,” which introduce Major Kira and display character growth.

  • Ferengi Business Practices in "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine"
    Lopez, Pletcher, Williams & Zehner – Volume 11, Issue 1 (2017) e-Journal of Business Education & Scholarship of Teaching Vol. 11, No. 1, 2017, pp: 19-56. ”http://www.ejbest.org” Ferengi business practices in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - to enhance student engagement and teach a wide range of business concepts Katherine J. Lopez The Bill Munday School of Business St. Edward’s University Austin, TX, United States of America [email protected] Gary Pletcher The Bill Munday School of Business St. Edward’s University Craig L. Williams The Bill Munday School of Business St. Edward’s University William Bradley Zehner II The Bill Munday School of Business St. Edward’s University Abstract The purpose of this article is to provide examples of business concepts appearing in science fiction, offering accounting and business educators a means to engage students and allow students to make connections with business concepts outside of the strict business realm, resulting in increased long-term learning. To accomplish this, The Star Trek series Deep Space Nine (Berman, et al., 1993-1999) was examined, and instances of business concepts located in the series were documented and presented in table format. This paper adds value by providing educators with a database of examples to help students learn business concepts. This article identifies specific accounting, business, and economic concepts illustrated by the Ferengi Traders in Star Trek – Deep Space Nine, as well as explores the educational theory behind why students are more likely to engage in learning by relating the new to the familiar. Keywords: science fiction; memory recall; video learning; business education, accounting and business curriculum.

  • The Way of the Warrior PDF Book
    THE WAY OF THE WARRIOR PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Chris Bradford | 352 pages | 07 Aug 2008 | Penguin Books Ltd | 9780141324302 | English | United Kingdom The Way of the Warrior PDF Book First it was the Cardassians… then it was the Dominion… now it's the Klingons! Bashir reminds Sisko that their agreement with the Romulans regarding the cloaking device strictly forbids its use in the Alpha Quadrant. There is a richness to this concept of being a warrior and how it relates to living out your life that really goes beyond a superfical read. Plus I think I wonder about the internal struggle that I would experience doing ministry amongst the poor and vulnerable for a number of years that being my roots and foundation to being a megachurch pastor in Hollywood with young 20 and 30 somethings. Martok hints that Chancellor Gowron will be told of Worf's involvement in uncovering news of the planned attack. I'm going to have wounded people in here. But what McManus proposes is that really, a warrior is on a quest to find peace. When Sisko asks where Worf will likely be assigned next, Worf admits he has been considering resigning from Starfleet. Finally, the warrior stands in their pain, recognizing that suffering and pain are the way that one becomes stronger. Worf points out that — if Martok is correct, and members of the Detapa Council have been replaced by Changelings — then the Defiant will help them escape. This book was broken into 8 chapters that focus on something different that is crucial to the warrior.

  • American Archivist Reviews Date Posted: May 23, 2019
    American Archivist Reviews Date posted: May 23, 2019 http://reviews.americanarchivist.org “Still So Much to Learn”: Star Trek and the Archives Reviewed by Samantha Cross, CallisonRTKL, Inc. The Star Trek franchise is not an easy topic to pare down considering its more than 50 years worth of canonical television, movies, comics, novels, and supplemental material to sift through. Academically speaking, there’s no shortage of scholarly papers addressing issues of race, gender, sexuality, technology, ethics, and morality as depicted in all these mediums.1 And that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how Star Trek has been and will continue to be examined as each generation comes to understand the franchise within the context of their reality. The impact and influence of Gene Rodenberry’s creation are vast, and its place in popular culture endures. What started as a hopeful idea of a diverse and prosperous future has become a bold statement of equality across all aspects of identity even if it fumbles the message from time to time. Viewers, for the most part, tune in to get a glimpse of an aspirational future where humans have managed not to destroy one another; where the voyages of starships like the Enterprise, Voyager, and Discovery bring a sense of curiosity, empathy, and adventure as their crews journey into the unknown. So, where do archives fit into the final frontier? Should you endeavor to do an online search for anything related to Star Trek, I’d advise you to hunker down and settle in especially if your interest lies in a niche topic within the Trek universe.

Has this Pranica ever happened to you? You bought a ticket to your favorite live podcast, and when you get there, there aren't any seats for you, so you have to sit in the bathroom because the toilet is the only unoccupied seat? And because the sounds of flushing and people having diarrhea, you can just barely hear the sound of laughter? But it's not the kind of laughter where you can tell the podcast hosts are doing well. It's the kind of laughter where you know the hosts are eating shit. 00:00:31 Adam Promo And when the show is over and you wipe yourself off, there isn't any toilet paper. So you use your underwear and try to flush those down the toilet. But the toilet gets clogged on all your underwear, and giant dookies you spent 90 minutes making, and starts overflowing, so you just leave it there and go out to the meet and greet. But you aren't feeling normal, because you aren't wearing underwear, because you're feeling the inside of your pants in a way you've never felt before, so you're awkward in your own body.
