Star Trek. Women’s Studies in Communication, 27(2), 177-203. Retrieved from

Academic Search Premier database.

While Trek mythos writers tried to downplay stereotypes, Consalvo examines how well they

succeeded by looking at female representation in the cyborg world. Individualism versus the

hive, sexuality versus androgyny, and Seven of Nine versus the Queen are topics that Consalvo

examines for implications for our medical technology and societal impact.

Early Trek had an incredible impact on future engineers, scientists and technologists, inspiring

them to create the devices we now take for granted such as MP3 players, flat screen plasma

monitors, communication devices and accessible computer technology in all aspects of our daily

lives. Since the first Enterprise took flight, the leap in technological advancement outpaces any

other 40-year period in history.

Waite, L. J., Goldschneider, F. K., & Witsberger, C. (1986). Nonfamily living and the erosion of

traditional family orientations among young adults. American Sociological Review, 51(4),

541-554.

The authors, researchers at the Rand Corporation and Brown University, use data from the

National Longitudinal Surveys of Young Women and Young Men to test their hypothesis that

nonfamily living by young adults alters their attitudes, values, plans, and expectations, moving

them away from their belief in traditional sex roles. They find their hypothesis strongly

supported in young females, while the effects were fewer in studies of young males. Increasing

the time away from parents before marrying increased individualism, self-sufficiency, and

changes in attitudes about families. In contrast, an earlier study by Williams cited below shows

no significant gender differences in sex role attitudes because of nonfamily living.
