John Hafernik's Zombie Problem

If you didn’t know, honeybees are dying rapidly, and it is more serious than you might think. The decline of the honeybee is fairly complicated, as we cannot simply target one cause for the honeybee’s decreasing numbers. The combination of factors includes parasitic mites, Colony Collapse Disorder, harmful pesticides, poor nutrition, and habitat loss, all of which have contributed to the loss of droves of honeybees. This issue much more important than what the attention it is getting implies, as honeybees are an essential part to the agricultural society, and the human race in general. Not only are bees responsible for making honey, but also for pollinating a large portion of crops grown around the world. If we did allow honeybees to disappear,

The zombie argument presents an idea meant to prove that consciousness doesn’t necessarily logically supervene on the physical. In this example there exists a zombie, defined as “someone or something physically identical to me ( or any other conscious being) but lacking conscious experiences altogether.” (Chalmers,94) Zombie world is then defined as “a world physically identical to ours,but in which there are no conscious experiences at all. In such a world, everyone is a zombie.” (Chalmers, 94) In this idea, only “phenomenal zombies” are to be considered meaning zombies that are “physically and functionally identical ( as us) , but which lack experience” (Chalmers 95) There are five main arguments that stand behind this idea, the first two being ideas regarding conceivability, the second two arguments of epistemology and the fifth and argument of analysis.

Your zombie usually does not behave normally that resembles anything that was once human. Once mutation has occurred, it is easy to tell at first look that that risen zombie is no longer a living member of the human society. Its movement is generally slow with very poor skills and coordination. Its walk is clumsy and unbalanced. This is caused in part by the cellular decay of their nerves and tissue, and also the poor functioning of the portion of the brain that controls functions. Without control of their circulatory and other systems, the body begins to decay quite fast. This rapid decay occurs in all parts of the body including the eyes, leaving zombies with a very poor sense of sight. This makes them even

Zombies aren’t supposed to exist. But what if they do, and we interact with them every day? Chuck Klosterman’s essay, “My Zombie, Myself”, compares everyday life to the task of killing zombies. Through elaborate metaphors, quotes from zombie experts, and a strong call to action, he successfully appeals to pathos, ethos and logos to convince his readers. Klosterman argues that even though modern life is monotonous, it is possible to escape the monotony.

Coup Poudre - there is knowledge about the existence of Zombies and how they are created. A drug used to induce death/or give the appearance of death contains tetrodoxin and is produced by puffer fish. In small quantities the coup poudre, as is known, is ingested unknowingly by the person and will quickly give appearance of death as it gives total

In the possible occurrence of a zombie apocalypse, certain measures involving shelter, food, weapons, and fitness should be taken to better the chances of survival in such a desperate situation. Throughout the years, movies, television shows, and other miscellaneous hype have heightened a large number of people’s suspicion about the possibility of disease-ridden humans taking over the world. In reality, that atrocity is not exactly far-fetched. With so many vaccines and medicines being mass produced without the sufficient steps taken to test the results, the chance of humans contracting unimaginable side effects is a rational possibility. If

Although some might think the zombie apocalypse is a far-fetched idea spawned from a doomsday prepper’s wildest dreams, it is actually a highly likely scenario which should be considered with a sober mind. Based off other sicknesses which have arisen in recent and older times, such as Ebola, the black plague, and cholera, we can see that without the right preventative and emergency measures, any sickness can return after any amount of time in a stronger and different form harder to beat than the last time. In order to prevent massive outbreaks like these from happening, which might resurrect corpses that start eating the living, California needs to enact legislation that protects everyone from zombies. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, California needs to declare martial law, create quarantines for those doomed to die, restrict anyone from leaving or entering the state, strip away the basic human rights of the zombies, and commence mandatory dental procedures.

The colony collapse disorder has been threatening the United States for many years. Reports show excessive numbers of honeybees dying off. According to the Bee Informed Partnership and USDA’s annual survey, during the winter of 2013-2014, the mortality of managed honeybee colonies was 23.2. The previous winter’s report showed a loss of 30.5 percent of the colonies and thus, the winter 2013-2014 results might show some improvement. However, beekeepers persist that the still declining honeybee colonies are becoming too low for colony collapse disorder to be considered a solved issue. Approximately two-thirds of the beekeepers reported losses greater than the acceptable 18.9 percent mortality rate, thus deeming the losses greater than what is economically sustainable. The issue

John Stratton wrote “Zombie Trouble” after he noticed the increase in zombie texts, and realized that it was corresponding to how western countries were becoming anxious about illegal immigrants entering their countries, with the apparent increase in refugees. He especially shows us that the zombie threats are a metaphor for how the people in the West fear the growth in the number of displaced people. In the article, Stratton often refers to the term “displaced people,” when speaking about refugees, asylum-seekers, and illegal migrants. He continually compares zombies to displaced people, by using Giorgio Agamben’s “bare life.” He also goes on to explain to us how “bare life” has two aspects. The first aspect of bare life is the fact that they

CCD could potentially hurt the farm production of America. These insects play a role in the production of crops by cross pollination and according to the United States Department of Agriculture, 1/3 of our food from each meal comes from honey bees. The pollination performed by honey bees is a contributing factor to the growth of crops and without them, produce would plummet a large deal and farmers would be forced to pay for services equivalent to what the honey bees preform. The more money farmers must spend to raise crops that the bees do not pollinate, the more money the public must spend for produce. The American population ought to concern themselves with this syndrome if they are not interested in spending a flamboyant amout of $10 or more for berries. The increase of Colony Collapse Disorder is also an increase for the chance of the collapse of

I mentioned earlier about how learning the basic techniques and drills against an unarmed attacker allows you to concentrate more on the techniques, your timing, your reflexes and spatial relationship to your training partner.

Jim and Jan Nesti have been in the bee business for years and their bees aren’t dying. To keep their bees safe they had to know what’s killing the bees.

SD2: They go outside but do not allow themselves to be disconnected from the online world.

Amy Barth’s wrote “rise of the zombees”, my opinion is zombees are really weird. To start, When a female zombie fly lands on a honeybee she injects fly eggs into it. A zombie-fly stays in a honeybee. Additionally, These fly pupae came from inside the bees. A zombie-fly eats the bees to make a zombee. Finally, As a result, the bee begins to show signs of strange, zombie-like a behavior. It acts like a zombie and walks in circles on the sidewalk. My opinion is zombees are really weird.

The topic of the undead coming back to life to feast on the living has been around since the first zombie movie White Zombies in 1932; however, just in the past few decades has the threat of a zombie apocalypse enter the realm of international politics. The threat of a zombie apocalypse is a very serious concern of the international communities. Many political scientists are not sure how the world leaders would be able to work together if this issue were ever to arise in the world today. In the book “Theories of International Politics and Zombies”, Drezner uses the threat of a zombie apocalypse to show how the different theories of international politics would eliminate the threat; however, are the living dead a real international concern or are they just a brilliant metaphor for something much greater that could happen to the world.
