Surviving is to continue to live or exist despite dangerous or life threatening situations. There are many circumstances that could threaten the survival of a person or a group of people. Drastic situations such as the zombie apocalypse has the potential threat to wipe out the entire human population. Survival of the apocalypse will take an individual and a group's efforts, skills, and determination to escape.
Situations will arise where the group will need a variety of tools, and supplies to survive and to approach close combat. Guns are essential to surviving a zombie apocalypse. The ability to kill a zombie from a distance is safer and than approaching the undead to perform close combat. Although a gun seems to be the best method of destruction to a zombie, the weapon also brings some drawbacks, such as the noise. A gunshot will attract other zombies

Although it’s not apparent that a zombie apocalypse will happen or even when it may happen, It is always best to prepare for the worst. Many people believe that if the apocalypse were to occur then the government would protect them during a tragic event. People do not fear or prepare for the Zombie apocalypse because the zombies are too slow and not intelligent enough to take over the human population (Hill, Why the Zombie Apocalypse Wouldn’t Happen).
Some people believe that they are also too skilled to be killed by the undead, people believe they would be able to protect themselves if they were to come into contact with a zombie. The people that do not believe the zombie apocalypse could happen, they should be prepared if it were to happen. People prepare for tornadoes and floods because there might be a natural disaster, so this is not a different any different from one of those natural disasters. The zombie apocalypse may sound extravagant but it may occur just like a tornado or flood. It is best to be over prepared than not
When it comes to a zombie apocalypse realist would not respond immediately. Instead the realist having the “dog eat dog” nature would just simply wait until the zombie virus affected them directly. They would wait until the very last moment to respond. Realist do not care about the problem until it is their problem.
Training to survive is not a simple task. You must learn many things if you want to make it through. According to the article ‘Practical reasons to plan for the Zombie apocalypse’, by Kelli B. Grant, states that,“Getting ready for the zombie apocalypse might just save your life—in the event of a hurricane, terrorist attack or other disaster.” Training now is better than not, there are many reasons for this and perks to starting.Training can bring good physical fitness by keeping you healthy and strong. It can help you learn some medical procedures and learn about what you can do to avoid any
Vampires and zombies are both fictional. However, one does have more of a possibility of being real. The origin story of vampires is that they were the dead rising from hell to wreak havoc; this makes it hard to believe they could exist, considering not everyone believes in an underworld. On the other hand, bacteria are all around us and spread viruses all over the world. This is the origin of the modern day zombie, they are no longer the dead becoming the living, instead, it’s a highly contagious virus that spreads throughout the world. There is even a type of fungus that has been known to “zombify” ants. Making the chance of a zombie invasion even more
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
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.
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.
Survival is living on the hope that better things are yet to come in your life. Right now in our country people survive because of hope and the belief that people are good and they will help them out. People survive when they are homeless on the streets only because of the people who are good at heart and give them food or money to buy clothing for the winter. Gerta survived because of her family and friends. Anne Frank survived because she believed that “Despite all the evil going on in the world I still believe that all people are good at heart.”
There are different kinds of maps you could use, like a Road Map, Physical Map, Climate Map, Political Map, Economic Map, and Climate Map, which would all be useful in the event of a zombie apocalypse. A compass would be useful so that you know what way you are traveling. Another thing that would be helpful is the use of paper, pencils, and pens. Hand sketches would be better than having it on an electronic. It would be better than having on a computer because if the electronics stop working, then you would have none of your information anymore. Of course, weapons would be useful, so that you can fight the zombies. They would also be useful so you can fight invaders,and also, the could help you get
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,
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.
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.
Morning. Now plug your headphones into the radio, and go to bed. Make sure all entrances and exits are fortified with whatever you can find animal food bags like the ones for dogs that are huge and heavy or chairs and well you get the point right just block the entrances from the inside (JUST INCASE- Sir captain obvious). Once you wake up from your clock alarm, you just have to survive. Make sure and double sure (and triple sure, for good measure) that you have ALL exits and entrances fortified. Anything you got set it up. Zombies below are basically just target practice. Learn how to field strip your gun. After a hefty day of zombie killing, you are going to want to clean it. There is usually a manual that comes with your gun on directions for field stripping. If you can’t find any, then you should learn quickly, or your gun will jam a lot and become unreliable. Remember; always be on the lookout for survivors. If they are bitten, kill them. If you are bitten, it’s really up to you. If you are with others, however, kill yourself. Don’t want to get risk killing your friends.
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
People had a fear of the mysterious and unknown thing because they could not predict the consequences of getting hurt, so, zombies can be considered as a type of the other in the horror movie. Many people believed that the zombies were a threat to humanity. In the article “Death Man Still Walking: Explaining the Zombie Renaissance”, Kyle Bishop mentioned that “They possess merely a rotting brain and have no real emotional capacity.”(20) In the movie, the zombies were the walking corpse. Unlike a human, zombies did not have any conscious and people could not communicate with them.Usually, the zombies attacked to human and ate human’s brain. People turned into zombies after they got bitten by a zombie. Also, zombies represented from the death and they were a dead body. Many people feared to death because people could not control the death. People did not have fear when they lived in a peaceful society. Bishop said that “monsters would not prove much of a threat if they appeared in the modern-day world.”(21) In the civilization, people felt safe because the government made some law and created a military to protect the citizens.For example, the police officers tried to stop the crime and prevented the chaos. When people dialed the emergency number, the police went to the location immediately and helped people to solve their problems. Because all the rules broke out after the society collapsed, people could do everything. People could express their emotions and act freely in the dystopian world. During the apocalypse, lots of zombies occurred and they attacked to the living things.When the society changed, people needed to find a way to adapt the environment. Perhaps, for the survivors, using violence was the best way they used for self-defence. As a result, people were hopeless and afraid when they stayed in an unfamiliar
