Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

The United States of America has been at war since 2001. The two campaigns are known as Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraq Freedom. Since the beginning, there has been over 1.5 million troops deployed to the region (Savitsky, Illingsworth, & Dulaney, 2009). It does not matter what the job is, the chances that a soldier will experience a form of trauma is almost guaranteed. It was no different for Lieutenant Commander Heidi Kraft. In her book, Rule Number Two: Lessons I Learned in a Combat Hospital, she discusses the trauma that she experienced in her seven months in Iraq, along with effects it had on her when she first returned back to the states. Dr. Heidi Kraft was a psychologist Lieutenant Commander in the U.S. Navy. She was deployed to an Alpha Surgical Hospital stationed in Al Asad, Iraq. She was a member of the Combat Stress Platoon, along with four other members, a psychiatrist, psychologist, and psych technicians. Her main position was to assess for trauma related effects from the trauma that was witnessed or occurred to the service members, along with an informant. She was not only a confident to wounded soldiers that came into the surgical unit, but also her colleagues and other ranking officials that were trying to deal with the happenings of members within their unit. Lt. Commander Dr. Kraft was professional with all her dealings with the service members. She might have been dealing with her own images, she did not let her emotions interfere…

Star Wars is better than Star Trek. Star Wars and Star Trek are both series of movies. With Star Wars they also made a cartoon series called “The Clone Wars”. They had about 6-7 seasons, each with about 20 episodes. Star Trek also had a Tv series called “The Original series”. My opinion that Star Wars is better than Star Trek because, it is way more interesting, it’s a lot more funny, also it is action pack. This is why i think Star Wars is more interesting. It’s just the fact that Star Wars…

Set phasers to rhetorical analysis of Star Trek fandom. Star Trek, while it started as a television series in 1966, has grown into a massive universe that has captivated millions across the world. Fans of Star Trek, better known as “Trekkies”, are devoted fans of the series who love it not only for its space action and adventure, but also for its themes and lessons about life and the world. There is heated debate among Trekkies concerning the origin of the term. It is said that an editor named…

“I know you can do better.” No matter how great something might be, things can still go wrong. Do not let this be the breaking point, instead, break the mold and continue to push the bar. Mentioned again is the ‘’head fake.’’ His programs allowed his students to have fun while learning something hard, or, completely mask what they were actually learning. These classes allowed him to focus on people and learning to work in groups. One of his most important lessons from this is getting…

In the sketch you can see already there 's are negative connotations associated with "fandom" (which consists of taste, class and gender) the actors dressed like stereotype 'nerds ' as in wearing glasses, acting like shy and wearing Star Trek memorabilia e.g . We answered some questions that were given to us in the lectures for instance "what are the production team trying to about fandom" I wrote that it 's was an easy to follow so you could become a fan of the show easily, gatekeeper - so it…

In the 1960s a television series Star Trek came out, and William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy became mega stars. Star Trek never really showed on tv until the 1980’s when the “Star Trek” pilot, “The Cage” came out and Gene Roddenberry showed it to the public!! It only aired three seasons. Star Trek is about twenty- first century planets that are a couple years into the future. They change the first season name to the original series. Gene Roddenberry created star trek to tell people what he…

Science Fiction is an extremely popular TV genre, with its proof being its long-running longevity through the history of television. There can also noticeably be three forms of science fiction; ‘stories of travel through space (to other worlds, planets, stars), stories of travel through time (into the past or into the future) and stories of imaginary technologies (machinery, robots, computers, cyborgs and cyber culture)’ (VIII, Roberts, Adam. 2006) it is through these three categories that…

creativity. Living in the country, I had the space and freedom to explore in nature and to live an active lifestyle. I had the privilege of experiencing childhood and play as it was “in the good ol’ days” before Western culture developed a screen dependency. The benefits of growing up screen-free greatly outweigh any negatives: missing references to pop culture has been the only downside of being raised screen-free, and even that is marginal. Parents interviewed about raising screen-free…
