Notes

Abstract:
Zombies have invaded our lives, first through popular culture in the form of movies and video games and now they’ve lurched their way into academics as well. Zombies have become a way to explain many academic fields such as the human body and politics. In regards to this, it can be used to effectively educate people about neuroscience, virology, epidemiology, political science, and even philosophy. Aside from the fact that zombies are an engaging way to learn educational material, zombies are also a pressing concern to all of humanity. I will argue that the zombie disease can be created. Also, the disease would be devastating to the human population as explained in the mathematical section. Plus, the government is notorious for poorly handling disasters so it would be reflective of how they would handle a zombie outbreak. Zombies also create an interesting thought problem in ethics.
