And the open-minded Federation represents, in part, the viewer as various problems of human existence are explored and we ask the questions, "how can we all get along?" and "How can we deal with this?" War and violence, political and religious extremism, greed, social rigidity and mobility, human rights and dignity. The Federation viewpoint is the one that has to be open and tolerant of everyone else around them without being encumbered by too much of any other extreme viewpoint in order to really explore these topics and think of methods for dealing with them.</p></blockquote><p></p>
