One of the USA movie industries biggest successes would have to be the famous Trekie films ( Star trek ) I must admit I am a bit of a fan and have enjoyed many hours watching the imagination at work.
So often these science fiction fantasy films delve into moral and ethical issues that we face every day of our lives, so often these films produce an ethical or moral "punch" line that can not be ignored.
One series stands out and that is the one where “The Prime Directive” is mentioned.
This philosophy stands out as one of good sense and suggest greater grace of the “Federation”
Firstly, I was wondering if any one wanted to discuss the merits of such a philosophy and how a major power such as the USA can employ it’s wisdom in it’s dealings with other less powerful countries?
Secondly, ideas of what constitutes unconscionable conduct come to mind. What makes the difference between acceptable and unconscionable behaviour?
Here in Australia we have Trade practice laws that apply to unconscionable conduct of major corporations. Does the USA have similar and how does that apply to domestic and foreign affairs?
