The Walking Dead is a post-apocalyptic TV show based on a comic book series of the same name. The main character of the show, Rick Grimes, is shot while on a sheriff duty. After awakening from his coma, he discovers that the whole city has been overrun by zombies who run after people and eat them, more commonly known as ‘walkers’. However, he soon realizes that his wife and son are missing. During a hunt for supplies, he meets another group which happens to be the group his family is living with. Rick starts living with the group and soon becomes the leader of the group. The sole purpose of these handful of people left post-apocalypse is to survive and kill walkers before they eat them.

Deanna, the leader of Alexandria was tentative when allowing Rick and his group to stay in their community, but, following series of interviews of the group members, realized that Rick’s group will end up strengthening the community and therefore, allows them tenure. A few months later, Alexandria faces severe shortage of medicines and supplies. On one of the supply runs, the group meets Jesus, a member of Hilltop community, who invites the group to Hilltop for trade. After negotiations, Rick agrees to trade arms and weapons in exchange for medicines and supplies. However, a huge chunk of their supplies go to the Saviors, a group led by Negan. Rick decides to kill Negan’s men so that all the supplies of Hilltop can go to Alexandria. This, in the real world is immoral and the wrong thing to do, but due to nature of the situation and keeping in mind the shortage of food in the community, Rick thought taking such a decision is rational. So post apocalypse, it is more socially acceptable to kill people because in the end, it is all the game of survival; the norms have changed; the social construct of society has changed. As constructivism points out that people construct their own knowledge based on their experiences, we can in fact say that society is how we see it as (construct of our views) and that varies from situation to situation. Rationality changes based on that. Pre apocalypse, Rick was a sheriff and protected

We were making our way to the doors slowly. While killing every walker in sight and range, we fought our way through the horrendous herd of walkers. Guts, flesh, and meat went flying out to every direction with every swing of the baseball bats that we had. I fancied a long pipe with scissor blades taped at the end of the pipe. The others decided to go old fashioned and just use a good old, trusty baseball bat. I’ve been dreaming of this day ever since I’ve started watching The Walking Dead. We’ve been killing walkers non stop. I was lucky enough to have found Thomas walking around the halls. Finally, the doors were barricaded, and the final battle of the second trial came close. I had to finish this. Deus and Onaga, the two deities gave me hints on where to go. I followed their wishes and went to the chorus room. Again, more danger was there. This was Olivia’s class… Why is it that everytime I go do a trial for these deities, I always end up in Olivia’s room. Chapter 9 : FROM START TO FINISH

A zombie apocalypse is not for the faint of heart. For a person to survive such a catastrophe they would need to not only know how to battle but to strategize, and be intelligent. Above all, they would need to maintain their humanity. In the AMC's The Walking Dead, the three best characters that exemplify these qualities are Daryl Dixon, Michonne, and Rick Grimes.

Let me tell you a story about a man named Robert Kirkman. He saved television when he made the TV show “ The Walking Dead”.

By giving enough suspense to kill a man, this show has everyone on the edge of their seats and waiting for the next episode. People say that the walking dead is all about the actors, but there wouldn't be any actors if Kirkman hadn't made the show.

Children between the ages 7 to 12 are exposed to many television shows. These television shows, play an important role in children this age by opening their eyes to new ideas, cultures and to new places.

Each community has its own group of members that citizens of that communities as long as their civic duty is met.
