Star Trek: 10 Species Who Need To Get With The Times

Vulcan society is supposedly built on logic, but they actually have a lot of arbitrary social rules and standards. Fellow Vulcans bullied Spock as a child because of his Human heritage, and they generally viewed themselves as superior to other humanoid species.

Another issue with Vulcan society is that they are incredibly resistant to change or being corrected. Their closed-mindedness even led to denial about time travel and a stigma against mind melds well into the 22nd century. Since then, time travel was impossible to deny, and mind melds have proved useful in numerous situations and saved countless lives ever since they became more normalised.

Seeing the Vulcans reunite with their lost Romulan cousins in the 32nd century shows that they are able to change and become more open to opposing ideas, but it's clear that there are a lot of unnecessary stigmas in Vulcan society that may be holding them back.
