A zombie is “a person or reanimated corpse that has been turned into a creature capable of movement but not of rational thought, which feeds on human flesh.” (Oxford) In the event of a zombie outbreak or apocalypse it would be quite difficult for a person to survive, even for a very short period of time. A person would need to take a large number of variables into consideration in order to survive. He or she would need to have a fair amount of equipment, food, shelter, weaponry, and various bits…

While Roman legionaries carried the short gladius, Roman cavalry carried a longer sword suitable for mounted soldiers—the spatha. The spatha, a double edged straight sword from 30 to 39 inches long, became the ancestor of the basic medieval blade, the arming sword, carried by medieval knights.

After a National War What does person think when they imagine the future? Some people thought of science fiction movie, while others thought of Ray Bradbury.

Technology has created a society where most people have no idea on how to satisfy their needs. People rely on technology and other sophisticated systems for their care. We use our phones to navigate, keep in touch, and buy food shipped from all over the world. Even obtaining water is as simple as lifting a simple lever and water flows from a tap.

the robot’s humanity. Ex Machina, directed by Alex Garland, depicts this deceit when Ava seduces Caleb into helping her escape. By manipulating Caleb, Ava exhibits mature thought and surpasses human mental capabilities.

By paralleling human’s rationality, robots…
