There's no denying that zombies are popular, they appear everywhere from movies to video games and more. But why, what is behind this stupid form of entertainment? Many of us just go about our lives and never really think about what makes zombies popular, what do they represent, what are they for. Zombies are a metaphor, they are humans who have lost what gives us dominion over the animal world, our powerful brain. Throughout zombie narratives, authors have argued that zombies represent man who has lost the motivation, to succeed and how the unmotivated form bandwagons that many weak minds jump on. Hudson suggests that zombies represent a bandwagon of those who are unmotivated, but it can be overcome. “Zombies arise from our similarity to pitiful creatures deprived of their souls, forced to work for the benefit of unknown masters…this state can be overcome through individual action and the moral responsibility of the masses. » (Hudson 10) In this example, Hudson makes the comparison between zombies and people who feel obligated to work.

Additionally, the system we live in is free, and while we may not all have the same economic situation, we have the same opportunity to succeed in America. Capitalism is not bad, on the contrary, it eliminates inefficient businesses, which is good for society as a whole. Just like greed is not bad, greed is just the world we attribute to economic motivation in order to create a more efficient business.
