EDRG 3344 Star Trek Darmok Episode

The Star Trek episode that was shown in
class was very enlightening. By depicting
a people who spoke in metaphor and not
understood opened my eyes to the
importance of effective communication.

It was very frustrating just as a viewer
to see someone speak and not understand
a word that was said. I was able to put
myself in the position of someone from
a foreign country who does not under-
stand our language or vice versa.

I believe that Captain Pricard learned
not to jump to conclusions too quickly.
When there is a language barrier,
sometimes body language can be
deceiving. It is imperative that we
as a civilized society take the time to
learn about each other's culture,
customs, and the languages of
our neighbors.
