In one episode Kirk and his Klingon counterpart each tried to influence an emerging culture to see things their way—remember Vietnam, Chile, and El Salvador? In another, Kirk and Spock were sent to spy on the Romulans so they
On September 8 1966, Star Trek the Original Series premiered to American audiences for the first time and was given a vision of the idealized future of space travel.

the ability to learn whichever language system they are introduced to, therefore a newborn would learn the fictional Klingon language (Hoff, 2006). Klingon is not a natural language such as English or Spanish, and does not adhere to all the rules of a natural language. Due to this issue, the child would encounter problems in saying everyday terms in Klingon. Also, since Klingon is a fictional language and not spoken in society the child would not be able to communicate with others, which may cause
high ranking officials to meet. During this meeting, Khan attacks them, and kills Admiral Pike. After this, Admiral Marcus, the head of all Starfleet, authorizes Kirk to hunt down Khan and kill him.

In her essay, “Women's Cinema as Counter-Cinema”, Claire Johnston proposed a path to creating Women's cinema to counter the numerous dominant male-oriented mainstream films. In it, she argues that you must first understand the ideology that is found in mainstream movies, and the ways that women are portrayed within it. She determined that there were two principle concepts to understand: how women are visually represented, and the effect that women have upon the creation of meaning within the film
The quote I have chosen is from the sixth passage, “Pidgin in School. ” In this passage, the author reasons that “Children do best at school when they are able to make use of their home language and culture. A basic and well-established educational principle is to build on the strengths that children come to school with.” The author is pointing out that if a child’s first language is Pidgin, they will better understand the content that is being taught if they are allowed to use Pidgin.

Impressions of Athens and Sparta As Greek city-states during the Archaic and Classical periods (800-323 BCE), Spartan and Athenian daily life shared some commonalities and was divergent in other ways.

The backdrop during the chorus is a version of the Schrödinger equation and then switches to him showering with a computer practicing his calculus, JavaScript, Pascal and Klingon.

“Revenge is a dish best served cold” is a popular phrase, used in many cultures and in entertainment. It is commonly remembered from the movie Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan as a Klingon proverb, but how many actually know what it means, or where it comes from?
