[@john-paulgies4313]

Seven of Nine began as a new parent: by considering what actions and goals were most important to her and assuming that these ought to be self-evidently valuable to the children. The two errors of judgment are [a] that her "perfection" is the standard by which to judge absolutely what is good for the children (this is the arrogance of man crowning himself/herself as God), [b] that the children are not in need of formation and training to be disciplined in themselves, or else the error is to assume that this will be quick and easy for her to form them or for them to be formed. Parenting is a two way street. You are in charge, but you are not in control; you are a dictator (literally, not colloquially), not a tyrant. Your authority is for their sake - to lead them to grow up, rather than to grow down as they would without you. But you are also meeting someone new and developing your relationship with them, so it is inevitable that you will either grow up with your children, or (if you refuse the maturity that the act of parenthood offers you) you will grow down, too, and drag your children to Hell with you, at least until they're 18.

Take Chakotay for example, his Native heritage, Maquis alliance, and relationship with Janeway, all of these were pretty consistent (even hinting at a relationship between Janeway and Chakotay), then all of a sudden by season 4, it's just gone. Another example is the Kazon and Seska, these villains were pretty much set up to be recurring, then all of a sudden they just don't exist anymore (say maybe for Seska who appeared like one more time after season 5 or something.)

Other than Naomi Wildman she isn't used to children in general. Naomi was always a good obedient child who was under her mother's direction so she doesn't have much bases for comparison. she is accustomed to sometimes childish personalities amongst the crew but its not her job to reign them in. Also she is still adapting to her own individuality so how can she promote it in others if she is uncertain of it in herself? Poor seven.

[@IndomitableT]

Blast From The Past - The Good Old Days. Well, probably learning and developing her own individuality alongside them and along with them. It is highly commonplace to learn from and with pupils while guiding and coaching them. That in itself usually is ‘fun’ for the guide or coach😉😋💛

[@Tigerman1138]

I always loved Naomi Wildman as she sought out Seven’s teachings. Naomi respected Seven for her mental strength and drive for perfection; a strong role-model who wishes to better herself too. Seven shows compassion and tolerance in a quick and not often mentioned moment: she tells Namoi she *doesn’t approve* of her referring to species by their BORG designations and believes her mother likely wouldn’t like it either. Seven may do it out of strong habit or informative nature when giving information, but she knows Namoi has no reason to do so.

[@cartoonking461]

Naomi, could have been much more developed as a character and much more used to stress the differences among the crew.

@@Emper0rH0rde Statistically speaking, if there is equality of opportunity, there will be a roughly equal outcome. Not exactly, but approximately. As things stand right now, that is not the case in any way (just comparing average socioeconomic status across race is enough to show that). That's why society still has to evolve until it can be said to be equal. Not everyone has to have the same outcome, but if there's a giant disparity in the outcome, it's worth investigating why.

@@sparshjohri1109 you really think it shows that does equal opportunity so that everyone can be equally have an outcome?
