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.

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 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.

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.

Even though they seem unrealistic, zombies can be created and are realistic due to these several things that can happen in the brain that can cause a person to act like a them.

A zombie apocalypse is most definitely not a very friendly world. It is hard to find friends who aren’t going to shoot you on sight, and if you do find somebody, a thorough body inspection is in for the both of you. So what should you do, if the situation ever arises? I will explain to you the Do’s and Do not’s of a zombie apocalypse.
Surviving the zombie apocalypse is exponentially less difficult than people think. You could survive the zombie without hurting a soul. You could steal everything and use harmful reasoning.

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.

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
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.
Survival and disaster preparation are relevant in the stories in the novel. Several interviews, especially those from the United States, focus on policy changes designed to train the surviving Americans to fight the zombies and rebuild the country. For example, when cities were made to be as efficient as possible in order to fight the zombies, the art of using real places and locations to describe these disasters, or when the ultra-rich hide in their homes, which had been turned into fortified compounds, they were overwhelmed by others trying to get in, leading to mass slaughter. Throughout the novel, characters demonstrate the physical and mental requirements needed to survive a disaster. There were so many disasters that can be related to the outrageous earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcano eruptions, etc. Zombie apocalypse can most likely be a reality through the spread a deadly virus. Brooks described the large amount of research needed to find optimal methods for fighting a worldwide zombie outbreak.
A valuable lesson you hope to pass on to the next late night pedestrian you and your new friends come across; Underestimating the potential for a zombie outbreak is a highly dangerous (and foolish) activity. Preparedness is something one can never have too much of when considering an epidemic of the walking dead. Some of the basics are: Assessing the potential for a zombie outbreak at any given time, knowing the four types of zombies and how to respond to each (an absolute must), and most importantly, you need to have a plan.
