How to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse First off, zombies are a figment of our imagination, beings made purely for our enjoyment. The zombie apocalypse is also made up. A land of horror made simply for the zombies. A land brim full of death and decay. Many games are made to show the land with a physical form. But none of them would come close to how frightening the experience would be if that world was real. If we were to experience this full on, the ‘player’ would be much, much more frightened because they wouldn’t know what to do, I sure as heck would be. Weapons wouldn’t be lying around and such for you like within games. So, dear ‘player’, let me tell you a few tips to survive a world of ‘deceased’ fiction. Furthermore, in the land of the …show more content…
Scientifically the way people think about zombies are completely incorrect and unreasonable. The chances for a zombie apocalypse are very slim, but there is a way. By viruses, in a very complicated way, viruses may lead to the cause of humanity’s possible doom. Most viruses use the retrograde axonal transport system for travel throughout the body. Using these nerves, the virus could enter anywhere from a body to the brain, but for this specific virus, it would enter through a nose for easier access to the correct parts of the brain. The virus would have to destroy very specific parts of the brain, without damaging it further to make a person reach a zombie-like state. The frontal lobe, amygdala, ventromedial hypothalamus, would be the main receivers of the attack. Causing the person to obtain an urge to eat flesh, and they would completely forget about their family and friends. In conclusion, the zombie apocalypse would be hard to handle, but if taking all of the facts into consideration, you might survive. Heck, it might never even happen! But, that experience would be extremely frightening to live in. but thankfully, that kind of hideous world doesn’t exist!. But if it were to happen, be ready to survive, or die. But, always remember, so far that land of death is not possible, so be safe, don’t worry
AHHHHhhhhhh........! Imagine being awakened by a soft, distance scream. Wide awake, the world returns to being silent except for a racing heartbeat. Suddenly, a soft resonating moan starts to fill the empty air of the bedroom. Looking out the window, the world is an eerie grey with nothing moving but the occasional garbage blowing in the wind. Suddenly the horizon begins to change as a crowd of people begin to emerge. Watching nervously, the figures get closer and turn into something much more menacing. They are all disease-invested, flesh-rotted, brain-hungry zombies! Where did these undead monsters come from? How do they survive? What
The terror of death typically consumes people, therefore, they must prepare for anything to happen. Not knowing what to expect can make it difficult to prepare for if the event has yet to happen. People planning to survive the zombie apocalypse must follow the process of gathering weapons, finding the items necessary to survive, and learning to use surrounding items to fight zombies.
“The monsters that rose from the dead, they are nothing compared to the ones we carry in our hearts” (Brooks 252). Max Brooks, the author of the book World War Z breaks down that there is a possibility for humans to become zombies. In World War Z and Wastelands: The End of the World as We Know It both apocalyptic stories set the setting in extreme and lonely places. The characters in the novels educate themselves to survive the world during an apocalypse. People are constantly running, crying, fighting, or shooting. The authors point out that if we take a closer look there are many possibilities to which an apocalypse could happen, however, the origin of the outbreak is unknown. Zombies are just metaphors used in novels, games,
According to zombie movies and books, there are several steps people can take to stay safe when zombies are on the prowl. Legends and other stories describe zombies as dead people who have been brought back to life. Many reasons are very simple and explain that, why zombies have invaded our media. First reason, is the fear of war or lack of safety. Second, the fear or slavery. Last reason, the virus out-of-control.
A zombie acts different from a regular human in many ways, such as its stiff legged way it walks or the odd moaning and groaning. These things can be caused by the way viruses can affect our body read previously. The zombie’s odd stiff legged movement is caused by damage to the cerebellum, the area in your brain that contains a great deal of neurons. In fact, it contains almost half of the neurons in the entire brain, damage here is known to cause this type of movement. This damage in the cerebellum is called spino-cerebellar ataxia, or just ataxia. The movement is specifically stiff legs, wide stances, and lumbering walking. This is a rare disease, however, if a virus’s main instruction is to attack the cerebellum then it is likely it will no longer be rare. Another common zombie characteristic is the moaning and groaning that comes from that rotted mouth. This is caused by more damage to the brain. This damage, known as Wernicke’s Aphasia, is the cause of speech that cannot be understood: moaning, groaning, and not able to say a single understandable word. Wernicke’s Aphasia also causes a severe inability to understand any spoken words, as well as written words. The damage area of this disease is to the junction of two brain lobes, the temporal and parietal, the massive bundle of connecting become disconnected, making it impossible to do any of the above things. Zombies like to eat flesh and brains, however, I say this more caused by aggression.
In a zombie apocalypse, the first thing I would do is find a shelter that can suit my needs and protect me from the weather/attacks/raids/zombies. If you live in a crowded area first hide then in the next few days go to your hideout and if you live in a less crowded area go to your hideout as soon as possible. If you survive the first day then your chances of survival has been greatly enhanced. When the zombies first came the reason why most people died on the first day was because they were in the open. If you find yourself in an open area then find a hiding place as soon as possible or leave very quickly. This will give you time and time is going to be your friend in a zombie apocalypse.The next thing you need to do is think about your situation.
The word zombie apocalypse nestled together bring imagines of a catastrophic nightmare. Nevertheless, we have all at one time or another heard this phrase mentioned on television. In the war against the undead who will be the victorious. We have seen zombie movies, but is there actual truth of their existence. The forthcoming of a zombie apocalypse has been predicted for decades. People fail to realize that the ranks for the undead will be in the millions not thousands. All public services would be rendered obsolete within hours once the madness begins. Hollywood has profited from our fears of a zombie pandemic. Our moral beliefs have become uncensored as hundreds of movies have foretold of a plague affecting the entire globe. As technology as progressed through the decades zombies have become such a mainstream phenomenon. Nevertheless, a theory has been planted into our subconscious through social media and people are less likely to be afraid of a zombie now in
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
Being the logical person that I am, surviving a population growth of zombies at my school would not be a real struggle. Other students my age would not hesitate to either hide in the most sophisticated of places, or run with gusto, and scream with all their might, chainsaw in hand, as they try to defend their fellow classmates. I, on the other hand, would take the better mannered approach. As a teenager, I have been taught all of my life to make new friends, and always be polite. So there would be no hiding for me. Instead, I would be socializing. Zombies aren’t dead and the chances of being killed rather than turned into an undead human by people that you know from school, walking dead or not, are slim. There is no point in living a life as
At this point in history, the fear that was manifested in zombies was the fear of losing control. Zombies were people that were raised from the dead and taken from their graves for the sole purpose of slavery. They were raised from the dead in order to become slaves and do what they were told. Even after death, these creatures had no sense of self-control, and this was terrifying to the general population. The reason this so scary is that zombies cannot be reasoned with; they are insensitive and unfeeling toward the pleas of their victims.
There are many political theories in the world today. Drezner addresses how realism, liberalism, constructivism, neo-conservatism, and bureaucratic politics would face the threat of a zombie apocalypse throughout his book. Each theory presented with the possibility of a world where the dead walk amongst the living and feed on their flesh, and then Drezner would elaborate on how each political theory would unfold if the world were to decide to pursue that particular political theory. This elaboration helps us determine if the world could even survive a zombie apocalypse. Although many people would ask is the threat of a zombie apocalypse even a
If you’re reading this manual then you’re intrigued about the logistics of surviving an imminent zombie apocalypse. Keep in mind that goal of this manual is to offer essential survival tactics needed to combat the undead. All have entertained the thought of escaping a fresh devouring monster while watching a zombie flick. Furthermore, society refuses to understand that the undead will be on top of the food chain with millions populating the four corners of the planet. In addition, Zombies are reanimated corpses displaying violent and psychopathic behavior with a ravenous appetite for human flesh. The nature of the zombies is commonly identified by decomposing and rotting flesh. Therefore one must be vigilant by avoiding being bitten by exposing
What I have learned by doing this project is that a zombie apocalypse could happen because there is so much contamination and diseases that can affect the food that we eat. The infection can start off with people getting sick and doctors and scientists will not know what is causing the sickness. It will be able to spread really fast and a lot of people will get scared cause researchers might have a hard time finding a cure. Humans aren’t the only ones that will get infected because animals can get infected too.
Step one of the preparation is the easiest: assessing the potential of, and being on the lookout for, a sudden and massive wave of zombification. I know what you must be thinking, “Zombies? No way,” but I beg for your attention on this matter; it could be the difference between life and death and un-death. Ruling out the more extreme, and significantly less likely, possibilities of sorcery and hell reaching its maximum seating capacity, leaves genetic mutation, viral infection, and science gone wrong as candidates. For simplicity’s sake, we can boil these three causes down to a disruption of brain chemistry in one way or another. As far as the possibility of an outbreak goes, in regard to the fundamental corruption of a brain’s chemical equilibrium, the risk is exponential. One piece of Mad Cow grade beef, a corn crop dusted with a carcinogenic pesticide or maybe just a simple radioactive leak into a local water supply and all of a
The idea of Zombies first came from Haiti, in the 17th Century when the French had control over the land which at the time was called Saint Domingue, which had a lot of sugar plantations. With all this land to work the French decided to bring slaves over from Africa to work the land. The slaves like all slaves throughout history were treated awful. They were treated so bad that many of them committed suicide just so they didn’t have to suffer another day. The slaves believed in two different types of death which are Unnatural and natural. Unnatural death occurs when a person is murdered or commits suicide or any type of death that is not god’s will. The other type of death that the slaves believed in was natural death, that is
