Star Trek TNG--EDRG 3344 T/R

So where else can you watch a Star Trek episode and it be completely relevant to the discussion??? Nowhere else but Dr. Harris class. We learned about the importance of language and understanding in the face of adversity and how important it is to try and understand each other.

1. Is Captain Dathon's sacrifice worth it? Why?

Captain Dathon says a lot about himself and a lot about his people through his death. The whole experience was so that they could come together in a time of trouble and form a lasting friendship, like the friendship that was formed between Darmok and Gilad. Even through Captain Dathon's death we still see Picard form an understanding with the Tamarians that could eventually lead to a friendship and alliance given time and a better understanding.

2. What did Captain Picard gain from this experience?

I think that he learns not to take preconceived notions into an exchange. What might seem like a threat in one culture may be a common exchange or custom in another culture. Such was the case when Picard and Dathon were beamed to El Adrell. Picard thought that Dathon wanted to fight him when in fact he was handing him a knife for self-defense against the beast on the island. What picard thought was a fight turned out to be a bonding experience through the hunt.
