Spock

spock-kirk
Recently I watched the movie “Star Trek: Into the Darkness.” In the movie Spock (pictured in blue) is known for his logical and rational thought processes, whereas Captain Kirk (pictured in yellow) is one who acts on gut feelings and emotions. I’ve drawn a connection between Spock and Sartre’s thinking. Sartre believe that you need to think of mankind as a whole before thinking about yourself, just like Spock rationalizes what is the best option based on rules and regulations. On the other hand, Kirk is the opposite, he acts first thinks later. Both characters have their attributes and flaws. For example, Kirk’s emotional actions lead to saving Spock’s life while also breaking the rules.
