Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse, By Ali Khan
Are we as a nation are we verily ready for a zombie apocalypse? Can you ensure your families that you are safe in the event of this happening? Sadly no one really knows. However there are many reasons that do suggest that we in fact can survive the Zombie Apocalypse. There are even many sources that propose that it truly is possible like “Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse” by Ali khan, a informational poster “How to survive zombies”, and even “Mayans Destroyed by Zombies” by Zombie Research Society”. So as human beings we are prepared for a zombie apocalypse we are ready for a zombie apocalypse as our nation alone has access to over 13,000 aircrafts, 8,000 tanks, and many firearms, we also have organizations like the CDC who can help find …show more content…
But wait how has society advanced since then? In the article “Mayans Destroyed by Zombies” by Zombie Research Society” they had said that “At its height (250-900 AD), the Mayan Empire was one of the most densely populated and culturally dynamic societies in the world.” Yet it somehow just disappeared and because of lack of remains and how few remains even found that the bones had been violently ripped from their sockets, suggests that the they may have of of just disappeared because of zombies. And because they are considered one of the greatest if not the greatest economically advanced societies of their time people assume we wouldn’t be able to survive, but what they forget is that was over a thousand years ago. In fact form of medicine was rituals where a shaman of the region or part of the city would come and chant around the person and a form of bloodletting which was when they would cut themselves and let themselves bleed. This was thought to of cured the person, which today sounds crazy but because it was so long ago this was thought to of cured the person, now however I won't deny there were some herbal remedies but most were not as effective compared to modern day medicine. This shows that society has in fact grown since those times as today's medicine completely outclasses the mayans in every way. Also our weapons have grown since those times as today weapons such as rifles, pistols, assault rifles, even crowbars all shown in “How to survive Zombies were shown to the mayans back then they would of thought they were the works of the gods as to them these weapons seem almost magically but to us they seem normal in modern day society (Normal as in they are not absurd in the the way that they can’t exist).So yes as a society we have

    George R. R. Martin’s short story about zombies does not focus on the zombie apocalypse as so many stories and movies do in today’s popular zombie culture. In what can only be assumed to be a far distant future, Martin’s zombies are surgically altered humans whose brains have been replaced by a synthetic alternative. This turns these formerly alive humans into form of cheap, or slave, labor that is exploited on planets where most humans are either unwilling, or unable to work (Martin, 2008). Martin’s zombies in this story harken back to the origins of the modern zombie mythos. Those being derived from the African slaves who toiled on the sugar plantations of Hatti (Estes, 2012). I do not think it is any coincidence that Martin’s zombies are…

    In conclusion, a zombie attack is highly unlikely to occur given all the factors stated above are considered with the additional inclusion of the military. Disease control procedures are a common practice in the modern world, and developed nations are ready to deal with any plague that can face them. This means zombies cannot overrun the world given the numbers, strategy, and technology available at the moment. Baldwin lacks a central claim in the book and only jumps from topic to topic to keep the reader interested but does not pay attention to most of the facts available to the…

    This plan could be feasible in that, according to the theory presented by Drezner, human-zombie alliances of convenience could be just as likely to emerge as human-human alliances in the future (p. 42). This could be a great opportunity for the U.S. to lead a no-blame proxy war against the rogue state of North Korea that is currently threatening to attack targets in the United States and South Korea, despite the armistice agreement they signed with South Korea in…

    When stocking and collecting food and water, the safest place to be in the zombie invasion will be Lame Deer, survivors stay in Lame Deer more than anywhere else. The next important thing to do is finding a bus, u haul truck, or trucks, bigger vehicles will make it easier to pack on supplies and resources. Taking as much gas as possible with you is great so you won’t have to worry about breaking down on the road, which will get you killed. The road to Lame Deer isn’t dangerous until on the divide, undead are walking and eating the remains of corpses that have been dragged out of cars that have crashed recently. It’s safer to have a car in front of the bus that is carrying the supplies and having another behind the bus because having a defense…

    Jurgen Warmbrunn Report

    Humans can try to prepare and prevent zombies from attacking, biting, and killing them, but it’s survivors personal fear that will ultimately put their life in the greatest danger. Fear can be controlled (just like zombies) if you recognize the signs and symptoms, you just have to educate yourself. Jurgen Warmbrunn, with help from Paul Knight, wrote a report that included critical information that says to kill a zombie, you must aim for the brain and not the heart (Brooks, 35). Jurgen and Paul noted the signs and recognized the symptoms and all that was left was for people to read the reports. If more people would have read the report, it could have saved millions of lives. Jurgen even said “if more people had read our report and worked to makes it recommendations a reality, then that plan would have never needed to exist”(Brooks, 36).…

    Zombies are only dangerous when they move in large groups. Once bitten by a zombie you have gained the chance to lose oneself, loss of relationships, and the loss of social self. The zombies that attacked in Dawn of the Dead are fast, cannot be reasoned with, and will not negotiate. These zombies are terrorist.…

    “I think the fascination behind post-apocalyptic societies allows people to live out a fantasy of invulnerability. There are more people who believe they could survive a zombie apocalypse, than there are people who would think they’d die early for example,” Nicholas Finch, an editor at The Demopolis Times said.…

    It is still a great mystery how the Mayan civilization disappeared. This complex society reached its zenith around approximately 750 AD. However, within the next two hundred years, this civilization which was epic in its time collapsed and disappeared leaving minimal traces and even more scanty detail about what could have caused this disappearance. This knowledge gap has led to a lot of debate among scholars over the various possible reasons behind what seems to us to be the abandonment and desertion of these sites. Some of these explanations are suppositions made without convincing proof. It has been understood widely that the collapse of Late Classic Maya civilization involved more than the disintegration of political structure and that it could have involved a total systemic failure in which both centres and dependent villages were abandoned by elites and commoners alike. The lowland rainforest habitat where Maya civilization developed was not significantly reoccupied until comparatively recent time. Theories for this “Mayan Collapse” are wide-ranging and varied, and recent scholarship has postulated over seventy different theories including, but not limited to climate change, deforestation, drought, warfare and invasion, social upheaval or revolution. Some theories even go to the extent to postulate a lack of affirmative action by Mayan kings which could have saved the civilization. Archaeologists have made several attempts to come up with explanations for this collapse; however no specific theory has greater empirical sway than others. Why did such a mighty civilization collapse? Are there any Mayan descendants who can tell us anything? Where do we turn for informant given the dearth of evidence? This essay will critically examine the theories of demographic constraints, climatic changes including drought and warfare and invasion as they attempt to explain the disappearance of the Mayan civilization. Each theory’s overview and merits will be discussed and…

    One of the prime mysteries in archaeology is still the collapse of classic Maya. The Mayans are but one of many Mesoamerican ethnic groups whose existence has been known in all of the Yucatan peninsula, Guatemala, and Belize, the eastern half of Tabasco and Chiapas, and the northwest regions of Honduras and El Salvador. Originating in Yucatan in 2600 B.C. and rising to prominence around A.D. 250 Mayans spread into the other areas when evidence for the first kings and dynasties emerged. Around A.D. 750 began the worst drought in the past 7,000 years, climaxing around the year A.D. 800 and suspiciously linked with the Classic collapse. Political issues and warfare is a cultural theory adding to the decline holding that the elite fought too much amongst each other and provided deprived leadership.…

    Zombies are less human, as they walk the streets, travel in packs, and they do not have a voice to inform us why they are attacking or their desire to kill. Frankenstein seems to have true feelings and we have a likeness to him, whereas he has soulful desires of love and hate. Zombies today are a bore, the only way of survival is for them to attack humans for survival, not understanding the reason why they have to. When I read stories or watch shows and movies about zombies, I am not amused on how they are created. It’s either by just showing up, stemming from aliens, or attacking a human in which that human becomes a zombie themselves, which is not…

    The myth of zombies has been debated for centuries and has brought about insane creative ideas about the unknown. Over time creative geniuses have looked to share their thoughts on the zombie myth through video games, comic books and television shows. One of the newest television shows that depicts a post-apocalyptic world filled with zombies is AMC’s The Walking Dead. The setting of The Walking Dead takes place in a world in which a massive, fatal, and gore filled disease has killed a majority of civilization on earth and has forsaken whomever that is left to fight to survive against the flesh eating, walking zombies and the other people that are also trying to live. The very first episode, “Days Gone Bye”, allows the audience to share the introduction to the post-apocalyptic world with the main character of the show, Rick Grimes, and build a strong bond between the audience and Rick Grimes because it is both of their first experiences with the new world.…

    The day starts like every other day does. The sun shining, birds chirping, but something will not feel right. People start to limp instead of walk, they are no longer talking, just moaning and groaning, and everyone reeks of rotting flesh and meat. The only problem with zombies is they are not who they once were; they are now creatures who walk around trying to eat anything living. Plenty of movies are created on the idea that everyone either gets their brains eaten or turned into zombies. Yes, most people think that a zombie apocalypse may not ever happen, but there is still a chance an apocalypse can happen. Just because people die in the movies does not mean people cannot survive in real life. Knowing the zombie apocalypse may happen one day, the three most important rules to remember are being prepared, maintaining protection, and staying aware.…

    In a world where vampires and zombies exist, human instinct alone will not save us from obliteration. These creatures and humans do not have a middle ground; reasoning will not help at all. Even though they are more superior than humans, knowing their diet, appearance, and weakness will increase our chance of survival.…
