One of the biggest appeals of zombie apocalypse trainings and courses is that they prepare people for real life survival situations. In general, zombie-themed things are being used to creatively demonstrate how to tackle real problems. NRP explores this in a recent article titled “With Comedic Touch, 'Zombie Wars' Tackles Impact Of Real Violence.”

Joshua Levin tells NRP, “There is a fascinating aspect to American culture whereby all the world conflicts and insecurities and that kind of collective subconscious mind is processed through these Hollywood plots and stories. I'm sure there is a number of Ph.D. theses or books about why there was a proliferation of superhero movies in the past 20 years or so — where this fantasy superpower comes from or how it is related to the fantasy of being the superpower in the world after the fall of the Berlin Wall. And whether that is related to insecurities that Americans might have about being the biggest and the most powerful country in the world or an overabundance of security about that. Other countries and culture do not quite process their own anxieties the same way.”

Of course, these zombie programs also prepare you for the hypothetical rising of the dead. What Culture takes a look at this in a recent article titled “10 Ways That The Walking Dead Has Prepared You For A Zombie Apocalypse.” Tongue-firmly-placed-in-cheek, Sara Weir of What Culture suggests not keeping zombies as pets. She writes, “Unless you’re willing to rip off their jaws and arms and have them on leashes for the rest of your life, they’re never going to become entirely domesticated; they’ll always want to eat you. If you have a spare barn kicking about, perhaps it’s better to be used as a shelter or as a space dedicated to storing supplies as opposed to keeping a bunch of dead people as pets. Plus, that way, you get to eat the chickens instead.”
