Discussion 6: Gulliver’s Travels
Imagine that you are the first human being to land on an alien world. On this world, you discover two species of alien life that are sentient and able to communicate with you and your team of space explorers. One of these alien life forms look nothing like humans; these creatures have eight tentacles and thirty eyes and look something like a cross between a spider and an octopus. Yet, these creatures behave much like humans. They show empathy. They show kindness and restraint. They seem to want to learn as much about you as you do about them.
The second group of aliens looks very similar to humans. They have two arms and two legs and two eyes. They don’t have noses, though. These lifeforms, although they look human, act like wild animals. They attack each other, bite each other, scratch each other. They seem to have no interest in you whatsoever and seem threatening at times.
In this position, which lifeform would you have a harder time interacting with based on this scenario? Why? Explain your position clearly in a 200-word paragraph.
