In the last 2 months I was going through all the episodes and movies of Star Trek the old series. I grew up with Star Trek, with Mr. Spock and Captain Kirk, and now I can look backwards and see how much it influenced my life. Star Trek was not an usual science fiction series. It was science fiction and morality and good values in action. Star Trek promoted friendship, cultural diversity, peace, understanding beyond oneself comprehension.
The series purpose wasn’t only entertainment. Star Trek was a carrier for ideas, meaning, good values and knowledge that was caught in the mind of kids and adults. It was a show that made you think about the reality and the ignorance we still have about this universe and about the possibility that something unusual could happen beyond our comprehension.

The series always tried to use scientific view of facts and, at the same time, it tried to make it understandable to everyone, it trained people’s minds to think that not only actual knowledge is the absolute truth. The characters always run into the possibility to go beyond their own believes to understand the amazing things that they found. Star Trek helped people to break those mental limitations indirectly.

I’m sure I got influenced when I was a kid and probably Mr. Spock stimulated my interest for science and mathematics. It was a show that offered entertainment, a dose of reasonable violence in terms of self defense and at the same time it was a carrier for moral values.
