He uses a informal tone and those without understanding might have to read the article more than one time to get a better knowledge of his choice of words. If you don 't know what lawless hordes,,looting, or understand what justifiable acts mean, then there might be some research involved.

All in all, Source 1 and 2 both have a different stance on how the Draft should or shouldn’t be available. While both do give their beneficial ideals, Source 2 was more logical with its stand than Source 1s idea of unity and income. However, both sources use the reason that Draft shouldn’t be passed from World war and Vietnam. For example, “ Vietnam was a war of attrition without a clear victory condition or civilian peace-building component, and thus unlike our more recent conflicts” (Source 1). Also , “First of all, World War II and the Vietnam conflict, both of which were very costly in terms of human life for numerous reasons, were also both wars of conscription, as was the Civil War, the bloodiest conflict in American history in terms of American lives lost” (Source 2).

More than just the chance to get shot, the war institutionalized the characters. "We became hard, suspicious, pitiless, vicious, tough […] We did not break down but adapted ourselves. " The 20-year olds, fresh out of school, were forced to adopt a mindset that allowed them to acclimate to the constant death surround themselves. They learned to take pride is small victories, that to the everyday civilian were normal, but to them were rarities, like comradery and a good meal. "When I see them here [..] I feel an irresistible attraction in it, I would like to be here too and forget the war […] but also it repels me."

In her essay “Zombies as a Metaphor for Society” Sabrina Student attempts to discuss the history and evolution of zombie-based entertainment and the social implications of this pop culture icon. According to Student, zombies are an effective storytelling vehicle to discuss societal issues at key points in American history. Careful reading of Student’s paper reveals many faults in her documentation of information sources, and a troubling lack of competency in Modern Language Association (MLA) style.

In this part, twelfth graders have to assassinate a person, so they wait at his house this is bad for their mental health because their sleep in a van and a van is not very comfortable, and they won't get much sleep because if they have to go to school they won't be able to focus and keep falling asleep and if they won't be able to focus than their grade will go down, and they will get stressed which is horrible this is an example of how role-playing games with simulated violence are diverting for kids by how it impacts a person's mental health. Another example is in paragraph 11 which says“ In the late innings of Killer season, some kids occasionally sleep in the deeper recesses of St. Ann’s itself,” in this paragraph is how some people stay at the school because the school is a safe zone where people can not attack this is bad for their mental health because where are they going to sleep, and they are probably locked this is bad for their mental health because they would not get enough sleep and not be able to focus on school which would cause their grades to drop, and they would be stressed also some people don't handle the dark well and if the light is shut off they probably won't handle it well and panic. This shows that role-playing games with simulated violence are diverting for kids. It is shown by how it affects a person's mental

Sternheimer begins with introducing us to a “first person shooter” game called “Doom”(214). With this multi-billion dollar game industry rising, she points out that there are three school shooting cases that the press emphasizes the shooters being “video-game experts” (215) to the game Doom, only making the “critics’ predictions” (214) about video games come true. Sternheimer begins by explaining how video game violence has become “folk devils” (214). This term allows media and politicians to “channel the blame and fear to remedy what many believe to be a growing problem” (214). Politicians are one of the main factors in targeting video games as the leading cause of violent behavior in teens, according to Sternheimer.

Daniel W. Drezner’s ‘Theories of International Politics and Zombies’ is an interesting anecdote of the increasing fascination with zombies within the pop-culture realm. A professor of International Politics at the Fletcher School and a member of the Zombie Research Society, Drezner’s book draws upon current discussions in the international arena. Drezner deploys satire and humor to exemplify how various theories of international politics would tackle a situation in which the “flesh eating ghouls” walked the earth. He cleverly uses zombies as a tool to introduce every concept and as a means to deride the predictability of every theory. His chapters discuss theories of ‘Real Politik’, Liberalism, Neo-conservatism, Social Constructivism.

First off, the United States should get rid of the Draft because it would divide the Society. The United States has a very ugly history with the draft. There has been many draft dodgers, protests, and Anti War and Anti Draft demonstrations most commonly in the Vietnam War era. The protests over the draft got violent during the American Revolution. One example, that the draft would divide the society is To Protester’s

Romero intentionally targets consumer culture and capitalist economics by setting the majority of Dawn of the Dead in a shopping mall, using both the unusual setting and the symbolic zombies to offer a mordacious critique of contemporary 1970s American society (Bishop 2010: 234). Romero consciously draws the audience’s attention towards the relationship between zombies and consumerism (Bishop 2010: 234). The insatiable need to purchase, own, and consume has become so deeply ingrained in twentieth-century Americans that their reanimated corpses are relentlessly driven by the same instincts and needs. The metaphor is simple: Americans in the 1970s have become a kind of zombie already, slaves to the master of consumerism, and mindlessly migrating

The messages we get from video games, movies, songs, and magazine covers are not always the healthiest messages to send children and for that matter for anyone. We glorify violence and guns, and this can be found everywhere. Few blockbusters can be successful without violence and shootings. Charles Manson knew very well we glorify Hollywood, the movie stars and their lavish lifestyle. This is one of the major reasons he chose Sharon Tate and everyone in that house.

These scholars have collectively discussed how zombies are a reflection of a fear that our society faces today, but do not discuss the benefits this fear may possess. Thus, I will examine how the notion of one becoming a zombie can be used to "increase awareness of rabies" (Nasiruddin et al. 810) and allow us to understand the concept of zombies portrayed in the media through the certain scenes of The Walking Dead comic. Furthermore, I will use this knowledge to contribute to research on how society 's fears can be used to educate and invoke positive changes to benefit our humanity. First, I discuss the similarities between becoming a zombie and obtaining rabies. Many films and stories about zombies illustrate them as a result of a nuclear outbreak that causes them to lose their identity and wander around mindlessly.
