There's no denying that zombies are popular: they're popping up everywhere, from movies to video games and more. But why, what is hidden behind this form of mindless entertainment? Many of us just go about our lives without ever really asking ourselves what makes zombies popular, what they stand for, what they stand for. Zombies are a metaphor, they are humans who have lost what gives us dominion over the animal world, our powerful brain. In all zombie narratives the authors have argued that zombies represent man who has lost motivation to achieve and how the unmotivated form a bandwagon that many weak minds jump on. Hudson suggests that zombies represent a bandwagon of the unmotivated, but it can be overcome. “Zombies arise from our resemblance to pitiful creatures stripped of their souls, forced to work for the benefit of unknown masters…this state can be overcome by individual action and the moral responsibility of the masses.” (Hudson 10) In this example Hudson makes the comparison between zombies and people who feel forced to work. Zombies represent man who is not aware of his mental abilities. The zombies represent the man who just works, but when asked why he says he simply works because he has to. Zombies represent the man without ambition. Hudson also suggests that we just need to be responsible and see that in America we don't just work for an unknown master, but rather we can choose who we work for. By connecting zombies to people who work without any ambition, Hudson is able to make a powerful pathetic appeal to inspire change in the way we view our work and the economic system. The choice of diction used by Hudson is very emotionally powerful in this case as we have deep emotional attachments to words like “deprives… middle of the paper… a lot of credibility simply because it goes too far. By having such an extreme connection, Hudson loses credibility and the reader is forced to question him throughout the rest of the article. Zombies represent man when he has no ambitions. While we've all been there at some point, it's important to know that you have the ability to get out of it. Furthermore, the system we live in is free, and while we do not all have the same economic standing, we have an equal opportunity to succeed in America. Capitalism is not bad, in fact, it eliminates inefficient businesses, which is good for society as a whole. Just as greed is not a bad thing, greed is simply the world we assign to the economic motivation to create a more efficient business. We just have to realize that we are always in control and that there is always something we can do, always a motivating factor.
