Critiquing a Critique

Zombies
This article raised one interesting area that I wanted to comment on. I thought it was interesting that Zombie's became more popular as the societal issue were at a high. These issues varied from people's fear of terrorism, natural disasters, war, social unrest and economical problems. When these sort of issues weren't a problem in society, then Zombie themed movies and books dropped in sales to almost making the Zombie movement extinct. However, they are now at a high due to every area of issues that now fill our everyday lives. My take is that people relate to the horrors of the Zombie's to the horrors they face from day to day and see on the news. Through this, the makers of the Zombie productions form their new stories and reap the benefits.
