This source seems to be unbiased and scholarly, however, whenever the CDC references a zombie apocalypse the tone is more satirical. Pallatt found this source to be effective when deciding if social media would be the best way to communicate because it states that, “social media use increases during crises and disasters, when some people turn to the Internet and social media to seek or share information or support” (CDC’s Use). On the other hand, the CDC doesn’t show serious concern for the situation since it did not go through the full process a normal campaing would.

Even though only a part of the research was helpful for Pallatt, it probably gave her more accurate information then her last…

The creation of monsters like vampires and zombies presents itself as an allegory the “day to day existence.” Articles like “Why Vampires Never Die” by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan and “My Zombie, Myself: Why Modern Life Feels Rather Undead “ by Chuck Klosterman emphasizes the correlation between folktale and reality.

They lack a nervous system so pain and head injuries don't ever cross their dead minds. Threats of terrorism, natural disasters, and crime become weightless in their lives since all zombies require one desire.…
“A lot of modern life is exactly like slaughtering zombies.” This statement is true in the eyes of Chuck Klosterman, where he expresses opinions in his article “My Zombie, Myself: Why Modern Life Feels Rather Undead”. In correlation, to the movie Warm Bodies directed by Jonathan Levine one can see that there are many things that we can relate to in modern life that can also be seen in a zombie apocalypse world.

All in all, I believe that there are similarities in a zombie flesh eating world and in the modern world we live in today, we ourselves…
