Throughout the series Spock is trying to find his solution to this inner conflict he has with being half human and half Vulcan fighting bad guys on a daily with his team on the USS Enterprise. To compare sides, Obi-Wan Kenobi is Luke Skywalker’s mentor in the Star Wars movies. Obi-Wan Kenobi is a Jedi and he embodies the ideals of the Prequel-era Jedi Order: cautious, focused, and very traditional.

Those that do both, best, do so because they keep in mind that, “All the time a person is a child he is both a child and learning to be a parent. After he becomes a parent he becomes predominantly a parent reliving childhood” (Spock). Remembering things you liked and disliked about your childhood and make additions or changes to improve…
