There is no way that xenophobia does not exist in the contemporary world, you can see it in political campaigns and when an epidemic threatens western civilization. However, The Walking Dead is not an example of xenophobia. The graphic novel The Walking Dead shows a civilization trying to come back after a zombie apocalypse, in which they are living in complete survival mode and never know what is coming for them next. Some people believe that The Walking Dead only has to do with humanity's deepest roots of xenophobia, in which survivors only work together due to having a common enemy, but as a matter of fact, it is really about people over coming their differences to reach the common goal of survival.…

"The Walking Dead" has become a cultural phenomena with hordes of fans and a huge online following, but more can be gleaned from this literal horror show than pure entertainment. The show gives the audience a possible scenario for what life would become in a situation in which survival is the number one goal. There are no more 9 to 5 jobs, mortgages are no longer a concern, and passing that math exam in second period is never going to happen, so that leaves finding food, shelter, and simply living to see another day.…
“Sometimes I wonder if you even care about us at all.” As Rick explains to Shane the situation in which Lori, his wife, made this comment to him in front of their son, Carl, in season one of The Walking Dead, you can tell that this was something the stung and really hurt Rick inside. He goes on to say that “the difference between men and women is a man would never say something so cruel.” This may or may not be true, but the fact that he made this comment shows that there is obvious resentment that he has for his wife, and shows that she may not trust him as the caregiver for their family. What is incredible about this situation is the fact that this all seemingly was able to go away after Rick fought through heartache, coma, and a lot of zombies to get back to his wife and son at a hideout in the outskirts of Atlanta. The initial thoughts and feelings that came up arose during a time where less trivial things were occurring around them, and their embrace and reconnection fueled them to “push” the feelings away due to their love for each other and Carl. The unfortunate side to love, however, is the fact that emotions can’t be masked and feelings can’t be instantly changed on a whim. Despite the couple overcoming adversity and trial to move past their petty issue, those petty issues are a sign of more concrete and underlying faults in their love. The effect of the Zombies leads to people coming together to work to concile their relationship, which then leads to fundamental changes taking place after the conciliation step, whether that be coming closer, moving even farther apart then before, or complicating the essence of the love itself.…

I Commander of the Fireflies, society of survivors, are here to help you survive this worldwide epidemic. In order to survive the Zombie Apocalypse the most vital tools are water and food acquisition, defense tactics and the establishment of distinct roles.…
