Remember to stay inside, wash your hands, and stay at least six feet apart from people when you are outside of your house. We, as a society, must come together and keep everyone safe–some of us are already making sacrifices to do so. Staying safe is the only way to make this situation end sooner. In bizarre times such as these, it is important we put other people’s needs above our own. I think they should be more direct when they tell people to stay inside–it could finally convince people to listen to them. When some officials are on the news and speak about social distancing, it seems they are only suggesting we try to stay away from each other. This sets up a pivotal scene near the end of the film. Spock says, Logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. This statement was made by Spock in The Wrath of Khan. The protagonists of the Star Trek franchise would seem to agree, as they generally place personal loyalty over public duty. Already, the number of confirmed cases in the United States has risen well above that in both China and Italy.Īnother issue is how our politicians are treating the virus. The most memorable, of course, is: The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one. According to utilitarianism, the duty to put the needs of the many ahead of the needs of the few extends even to people one has personal relationships with, like friends and family. Instead of fighting this inevitable change, we should accept it, and the sooner the better.
For instance, air pollution has drastically decreased, and the Grand Canal in Venice recently welcomed back clear waters. We must accept the fact that this virus will change how our society functions, and maybe for the better. It may seem easier to pretend nothing’s happening, but this was Boris Johnson’s approach to the virus, and he now has it, too. There are so many wonderful things just waiting at your fingertips. Start a new hobby, learn a new skill, read a book. I understand that it can be frustrating to stay in your house all day, but you can still find ways to entertain yourself. We, as a society, must come together and do what is right and healthier for everyone. Too many people are ignoring social distancing, and others are suffering because of it. Around half of the states in the United States are in a shelter-in-place, but people still seem to just not get it.
#THE NEEDS OF THE MANY OUTWEIGH THE NEEDS OF THE FEW ANDROID#
Enterprise-E from the destruction caused by Shinzon's (Tom Hardy) thalaron weapon in Star Trek: Nemesis, and Picard continues to mourn his android friend in Star Trek: Picard two decades later.As we all know, the coronavirus has now spread to every corner of the world, and in one way or another, we have all been affected by it. Of course, Kirk couldn't accept Spock's death, and when the chance arose to resurrect him, the Enterprise crew risked their careers to bring Spock back - with Kirk reversing Spock's saying because "the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many." Ninety-four years later, Data made the same sacrifice to save Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and the U.S.S. Spock was exposed to a lethal amount of radiation, and he soon died after a touching farewell with his best friend, Admiral James T. The Vulcan was forced to put this belief to the test when he risked his own life to get the Starship Enterprise's warp drive online to escape the explosion caused by Khan's (Ricardo Montalban) stolen Genesis Device. Spock coined "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few (or the one)" in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. In Star Trek: Picard episode 9, Soji (Isa Briones) questions the most famous saying in Star Trek: "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of a few." There's a twist, however, as Soji flips Spock's (Leonard Nimoy) classic quote. Rather than sacrificing yourself to save many others, Soji wonders whether it's right to kill someone to save many others - or does the synthetic daughter of the late Commander Data ( Brent Spiner) simply desire revenge? Warning: SPOILERS for Star Trek: Picard season 1, episode 9.
