A moral compass is difficult enough to navigate in our current society, but after the apocalypse having a clear conscious would be even more difficult. With the added complication of zombies, it would be impossible. While zombies are fictional they pose interesting moral dilemmas, to kill them or not to kill them, both choices pose moral caveats. If you were to kill them you face the dilemma of whether or not zombies have the capacity to be saved, if you let them survive you must accept the guilt that accompanies the decision, as the zombie could go on to injure others in the future.
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.
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
Daniel Drezner book addresses how the world would potentially react should the Zombie Apocalypse start while relating it to international relations. While discussing the anarchical nature of the world, in the realist argument, he addresses the fact that it is not likely that any one state would be able to gain complete control of the world. However, if the entire world is being overtaken by a zombie plague it is not outside the realm of possibility that survivors of various nations would come together and merge with whatever power still existed and divvy out more power to that group or individual. A good old fashioned military takeover would be just the thing to create an uneasy world-wide alliance with other militaristic organizations across the world against the zombie hordes. The military would easily be able to take charge in a global catastrophe of this nature relatively quickly and with little resistance from the common people. They are one of the most disciplined and structured organizations in regards to bureaucracy and other political organizations, and would not hesitate to change the protocols of war against an end-of-the-world type of threat such as a zombie takeover. Also, military tradition and codes of conduct cross borders with significantly more similarities than do political ideologies and governmental structures, which would result in there being a much easier and more unified alliance than could ever be achieved in any other global unification setting.
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.
Scientific advances such as genetic engineering have evolved to where almost any specimen imaginable can be created. Therefore, there is nothing standing in the way of someone creating hazardous killing machines, that can infect the humans around them. This means the likelihood of a zombie apocalypse is greater than most people would like to believe. If this horrendous event was to occur it is immensely important to know the precautionary steps. During a zombie apocalypse preparation, protection, and basic necessities are needed in order to survive.
The main idea I took away from Dr. Haskell’s “Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse or A Year of Teaching” is that you will need more than a lesson plan to survive teaching. You will need to look at your classroom’s vibe or the learning environment. Is it welcoming to the students? Or is it the old style with little single desks lined neatly in rows and an old teacher screaming “How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat”, we don’t want that. Reading along, this chapter gives plenty of ideas and a template on how to organize them in a manageable format. This is done to keep you from getting grandiose ideas, like forming a ninja academy or something awesome. When I finished re-reading the chapter, I found myself thinking on my classroom’s
I think that the film might end with that the good people wins over the zombies, because as you can see in the end of the trailer, is that the good people is burning the farmhouse, and the police is shouting at the zombies. I also think that the zombies will die, and the world will be save, but of course there’ll be a lot of challenges before the good people wins.
Over time zombies have been constantly changing in a variety of ways whether it be through research or physical appearance. Not only have they changed in their appearance, but they have grown through scientific research and through interactions with the world around us because of their new feature, feelings. How have they evolved? In what ways? Everything evolves over time. This is just how the world functions. We are always craving the newest technology or the newest line of clothing. We as humans strive for the very best and will restlessly keep on changing the world until we are satisfied. I believe that this has a huge impact on how zombies are depicted nowadays because they are constantly being evolved by us humans. We want the very best
In the event of a zombie apocalypse everything in this world would change. Society will not be the same, the norms society once had will be different. Governments would like to establish social control but the environment would be too chaotic to control. A survival mode would be establish by everybody, everybody would be by themselves, and only protect their own. Resources would be the new currency, because paper money would no longer have value, but a resources will.
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. Certain items needed survive are not as rare as you would think. Some sources think zombies are attracted by sounds. Others believe they can see and locate you by smell. Zombies may be decaying and have an unpleasant bloodlust, but surviving the zombie apocalypse is not so difficult. Rules are applied to make it easy are useful.
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
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
Would we survive? If the zombie apocalypse was to occur right now, would I be able to survive with the people in my group? Would my whole group be able to survive? In my group, there are three people: Brianna, Makendra, and me.
In the modern world, media outlets and pop culture constantly revive the idea of zombies taking over human society. From The Walking Dead to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” zombies are portrayed as slow-moving living-dead creatures shown in mass amounts to create the idea of consumption. While this monster as it is depicted in movies and television shows is nonexistent, there are living zombies walking the surface every day. They hide in the shadows of town and often only wear the clothes on their back. They spend every day trying to survive with the little amount of money they can scavenge. Money to them acts as the cure to help them get the necessary resources they need. Many people in this nation and across the world are categorized as living under the poverty line. The spectrum of people ranges from homeless and sleeping on the streets to large families settling in garage-sized apartments. Even when taking out of consideration the similarities in physical appearance, zombies are an accurate representation of the major issue of poverty in today’s society due to the instant eeriness that the stereotypes of both subjects represent and the idea that the poor are unable to receive the necessary health treatments.
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.
