Zombie Apocalypse by: Mariah Ross Death, brains, run, hide there are zombies on the loose! How would you restart a civilization, if a Zombie Apocalypse was to occur? When restarting a civilization you should think about what features to include in your civilization. For example, you should consider thinking about the type of economy and government you would want to form, geography, security, housing, clothing and health, job specializations, and managements of crime. In the event of a Zombie Apocalypse, if I was responsible for restarting civilization, I would choose a mixed economic system. I believe the mixed economic system is the most viable, because it goes with my democracy type of government. To begin with, I suppose a mixed economy would be the most viable if I had to restart civilization in the event of a Zombie Apocalypse. In my …show more content…
Every organization, government, etc. will always have some type of conflict. One main category is crime! Crime is what slows your civilization down. For instance, if one of your workers of your civilization commit a crime they will eventually get fired, which leads to an unemployment rate. In my civilization crime will be handled by the people given more work to do for a certain amount of time. Although, this may not seem like a pretty tough punishment it is because I wouldn’t want them to get fired causing them to be unemployed, they’re family to suffer because of their actions, and the civilization to decrease, but they would be tired from extra hard work. This decision would be beneficial towards the committer, their family, and the civilization. Overall, as you can see restarting a civilization takes a lot. It includes multiple features and thinking. The choices I have chosen will reflect upon the outcome of my civilization. Several articles have helped me develop my civilization based upon the details given. Restarting a civilization requires a plan and a brilliant
In any type of society from hunter/gatherer tribes to post industrial nations there are rules and regulations that must be followed for the safety and benefit of said society. Over the centuries these rules have become more rigid and concrete and have transformed into strict laws that all who wish to exist in that society must follow and obey or face severe punishment. The laws are a supposed codification of social norms that all those in the society feel are common practices we must abide by and follow. The laws are created to prevent chaos from erupting amongst the people and to keep order and balance by punishing those who disobey therefore deterring others from also committing such acts. The sole existence of law is for the protection of society and the protection of those in the functioning society. Law however can also lead to the erosion of conventional societal norms and in fact put many individuals in severe danger, specifically laws that are seen as unfavorable amongst the majority of society. Unjust laws and oppressive ruling can have several unexpected consequences on a society such as revolution which much like what the American colonists did in the late 18th century decided to break away from their overbearing monarchy and form a new society with a different set of norms and laws. At the beginning of the 20th century however, a new form of response to unjust laws was born and created mayhem in major cities across the nation, the rise of Organized Crime and the underground market. Society itself has created these forms of crime through the implementation of certain laws and allowed violence and destruction to manifest in opposition to that or a specific group of social rules. Whether it was the rise of gangs in the 1...
While it takes a lot to build up a society, it doesn’t take nearly as much for it crash and burn. One simple flaw can weaken it, and three added together will ruin the whole thing. Even the greatest societies can fall as the result of political corruption, war, and social injustice. These three have negatively affected Rome, Greece, Uganda, and even the fictional society in Matched by Ally Condie.
Have you ever sat in history class wondering why all the societies you are learning about are failing? Maybe you learned about Ancient Greece, or Ancient Rome, or even Ancient India. All these places did not succeed because of three main reasons. One reason is because powerful leaders die. Many things can go wrong after the death of a leader, for example, the army failing or the empire being invaded. Another reason is natural disasters happen. Disease is a big natural disaster that has been a factor in societies perishing. The last main reason that societies fail is because they expand too fast. Significant societies have perished because of the deceasing of powerful leaders, natural disasters, and rapid expansion.
Societies fall because of corrupt and bad leaders. The leader of Nazi Germany between about 1930-1945 was a very corrupt and evil leader. Although he made the society to be prosperous, he discriminated against his people. “As tyranny spread across the society, the leaders and their collaborators persecuted and murdered millions of other people” (Society one reading, final paragraph). This quote tells about the tyranny and the corrupt leader that was at the helm of Germany. The leader eventually lead the society back into it’s hard times when he started war between countries all over the globe. Corrupt leaders also use their power for evil. In Greece, leaders often passed laws that helped the rich and hurt the poor. “By passing laws that favored the rich, the oligarchs protected and increased their own wealth” (TCI, lesson 2, section 3). Discriminating against the poor and favoring the rich with laws causes uprisings. People being fed up with it and fighting back. No matter the outcome of the conflict, the society is weakened dearly. Another example comes from Syria. In Syria, the leader is very corrupt and is a bad leader. He lead the country into economic despair. When things got tough he resigned and left the country. He didn’t try to take care of the problem himself. “..after President Viktor Yanukovych fled the capital....
In the article, “A Zombie Manifesto: The Nonhuman Condition in the Era of Advanced Capitalism” by Sarah Juliet Lauro and Karen Embry, the authors’ evaluate the idea of the zombie and its connection to capitalism and post-humanism. According to the authors, the zombie represents much more than just a fear, it represents a loss of oneself to many different things, primarily to a capitalist society. The authors have come to the conclusion that humans have a fear of what they cannot control, and that is why the zombie is so big in entertainment. We see zombies everywhere, in movies, books, tv shows, fundraisers, marathons, and so much more. They have been around for decades, but recently they have become very popular. The authors believe this is
Each individual in any given group may has common good or group goal, also has conflicting interests, as known as Collective Action Dilemmas. It has been recognized long time that individuals often fail to achieved the group goal when work together, one main reason is people are rational. In the state of nation and society, public interests may conflict personal interest, the government as central agent seen as a great mean to solve the problem. For example, all the modern citizens expect great benefits governments provide, such as a highway system, or free elementary education; but for the tax, didn’t see anyone paid with happiness, but always think been over paid.

Pop culture always puts a spin on things, from modern art to the end of the world. Even though the concept of the zombie has become modernized and is now a large part of our culture, it’s really cool to learn where it all came from and where its roots in mythology actually began. We have all heard the modern day myth of the dead coming back to life and roaming the earth. But when we learn that the modern day concept came from myths created thousands of years ago have shaped the modern day culture that we live in it surprises everyone. The zombie has been a myth that is present in many cultures for thousands of years and will probably shape a modern myth of the future.
Despite the fact that people have common goals, more often than not, we see them grouped into contentious factions, fighting tooth and nail to promote differing government policies in the name of achieving those commonly held goals. Often the policies may be unproductive and often have the unintended consequence of sabotaging the goal. Almost always the conflict is centered around the means to achieve goals rather than the goals themselves.
Now a high-school senior, I still remember my freshman year with a shudder; it was the year my friends and I joked about as the "Year of the Zombie." It wasn't that I had contracted a rare medical disorder that transformed me into one of the walking dead. I had done what many diligent students do: sacrifice most of my sleep time for the sake of academic success.
First of all, we all know that zombies are like blind fish swimming in the ocean. They can’t walk very fast, and they aren’t smart, but always make sure to have some weapons and items with you when a zombie apocalypse starts. Have a knife so you’ll be able to kill the zombies or your friends if you loathe them. Also, make sure to have a gun and
Zombies have established a hold on the people of the twenty-first century. There are books, movies, TV shows, and video games about zombies. AMC’s “The Walking Dead” is a TV show about a group of people trying to survive the zombie apocalypse. While fans of the show may already love zombies, some fans watch the show with little knowledge on what zombies really are. Matt Mogk’s “Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Zombies” is a book that is written to inform readers on everything they would want to know about zombies. According to Mogk, zombies need a new definition in the dictionary because the modern zombies are more than just corpses brought back to life through witchcraft. Mogk wrote the book for a wide audience, it was meant be interesting to fans of zombies, and informative to the general population while also educating people at the same time. While it is very difficult to write a book for such a large audience, Mogk effectively appealed to his wide audience through the use of evidence and analysis for everything about zombies.

The social conflict model has two types of conflict, the social consensus and the social conflict. Dalton took the concept of informal organization from just workers to include managers and is called managerial conflict. This is a power struggle of humans using conflict to control their environment and social activities within the organization in their favor. Dalton believes it is human to use conflict to your advantage. They’re several layers of conflicts that arise between coworkers, between departments, supervisor and worker, between staff members, between different groups within the larger organization and just good old personality conflicts. Rules are made to control conflicts and behavior, but who do they benefit. They are called organizational rules but individuals implement them and either favors the individual or his group within the group. Bendix did a study on 1956 about managerial ideologies. The managers or leaders use influence within the organization to get workers to follow them and work together for the company. They use this conflict of ideas to obtain loyalty, and employees who are loyal to their company. Sometimes conflict comes from outside the organization. An example of this theory outside influence is the National Football league and spousal and child abuse. A rash of abuse cases arising from the actions of the athletes, caused outside influences to take action against the National Football League. Women and other outside groups influenced the league to implement new rules to control or change the behavior of their employees, the
