owner’s manual, to a journal article, to blogs in which case, I’m choosing an owner’s manual for my TREK bicycle. One of the nicest features of this manual that distinguishes it from many other owner’s manual is the fact that it provides not only a hardcopy of the manual but also a compact disc (CD). On the CD, the customer has the ability to get a translated version of the manual. When I bought the bike, TREK authorized dealer, provided me with a physical copy which was solidly in English which is not

always been drawn to hero quests. One of my favorites is Star Trek, though it isn’t a typical hero quest. The stories of each incarnation of Star Trek are thought provoking explorations of the human psyche on both societal and individual levels, often taking on contemporary social issues and setting them in the future with aliens playing the part of the good guys almost as often as they are the villains. My favorite incarnation of Star Trek is the original series, filmed in the late 1960s. The hero

In the second Star Trek movie, the late Leonard Nimoy portrays the always logical Vulcan, Spock. In the film, he sacrifices himself for the ship, and when Caption Kirk finds out, Spock explains his self-sacrifice by saying, “The needs of the many, outweigh…” and Kirk finishes by saying, “The needs of the few.” In his ethics, Aristotle’s view of becoming a virtuous person is to find eudaimonia (118) and benefit the city-state (78). Conversely, in the third Lord of the Rings movie, Hugo Weaving

light on the situation; it is time for Star Wars versus Star Trek. I enjoy both universes equally, but I believe that in a fight Star Trek would win against Star Wars. First, we will delve into the social atmosphere of both universes; since I am a trekkie from years of absorbing my mother’s obsession, I’ll list off their advantages and disadvantages first. In

In the long-running debate over the Star-Trek-or-Star-Wars conflict, both sides have presented rational, strong arguments on why one show is better than the other. Star Trek argues for the storyline, while Star Wars is known typically for its visuals. However, what distinguishes the two genres from one another is the complexity and overall meaning behind the films. What really defines and separates Star Trek from Star Wars is its pro-technology stance, the diverse lead of characters, and the primary

     In 1966 a series called "Star Trek" was created. It's creator, Gene Roddenberry, did not create the show to be a science fiction series. The series was much deeper than that. It wasn't just about discovering new planets and civilizations. It was about controversial issues. Even though the series' take place in the 23rd and 24th century the issues struck with the times and related current issues. Through each series, The Original, Next Generation, Deep Space

The movie Star Trek into Darkness is a futuristic Sci-fi fantasy movie about the people of the Star Trek Enterprise. The Star Trek Enterprise is very similar to NASA in the sense of they want to explore space. This Star Trek movie focuses on Captain Kirk and Commander Spock. The contrast to these two characters is that one is a human and one is half human and half vulcan. Emotional expression is not common in the Vulcan culture meaning it’s not as normal to show much emotion in their culture. Vulcan

become legendary on September 8, 1966 at 8:30 PM on NBC. America was never the same after Star Trek made its debut that night. The series did not receive the recognition it deserved until it was canceled after only three years and later returning in syndication. However, Star Trek was never an ordinary science fiction program to begin with. Comparison to other programs in this genre is difficult because Star Trek is certainly not an unconventional science fiction program- it is a science fiction program

The On-to-Ottawa trek occurred the desperate economic time of the 1930s in Canada when people were unhappy about the conditions of their lives and proceeded to act upon it. The federal government at the time, run by R.B. Bennett, imposed relief camps in an attempt to help these people, but little did the government know that this decision would result in men forming a group meant to revolt against the poor conditions of their lives in these camps. With organization from passionate leaders this

It was during summers last year. I had just completed my first year in college (wasn’t sure at that time as the result was still pending) and had come home for my vacations. Now if you are an engineering student like me, you would know exactly how we spend our vacations. Yes, exactly what you just told to yourself. We do nothing. As much as we swear to make our vacations productive, we always end up wasting it away with an ocean of regrets flowing through our minds in the end. But last year, I decided
