Philosophical Analysis Of The Movie 'The Walking Dead'

The series, `the walking dead` has been a paper I wanted to write about, although people have different opinions on what the movie is about. I find it involving quick the mix of politics, survival, psychology, and power. The show teaches us what humans are capable of doing especially when their lives are being threatened.
