Two young men were raised by fathers and families not their own. So what is their culture? Is it the culture they were raised in or the culture of their family history? Jono from TNG's “Suddenly Human” and Rugal from DS9's “Cardassians” face similar difficulties in answering this question. Pat and Amy discuss the ideas of nature vs. nurture and compare and contrast the two episodes.

*Please forgive the audio quality of this episode. Due to unforeseen circumstances a power surge blew out Patrick's microphone input on his mother board during recording, and its effect wasn’t discovered until after recording had ended.
