The Walking Dead, a television show about survival in the world of zombies, based on the comic of the same name created by Robert Kirkman. In this show Rick Grimes, a sheriff's deputy, wakes up from a coma and finds himself in a hospital soon discovering that while he was in a coma the world had been infected thus transforming humans into flesh-eating zombies later called Walkers. As Rick sets out to find his family, he meets many other survivors Glenn, Daryl and Carl Maggie, Carol, Sasha, Hershel, Beth, Michonne, among many others who have died along the way. Rick and the survivors have been through a lot, moving from place to place away from the Walkers, after moving a lot they found the old prison surrounded by the Walkers where they now live. This show sends many messages to viewers, but none are as important as the messages it sends about survival, religion, and betrayal. One message the show sends to viewers is survival; in several scenes Rick and the group hunt animals and enter abandoned houses to find supplies: medicine, food and weapons. They also must not allow anyone to attempt to harm their group. In one scene Rick, Michonne, young black women carrying a katana, and Carl, Rick's son, set off to find food for Judith, Rick's newborn daughter, in the car. Along the way they see a survivor who motions to stop but they choose not to take him because it could be dangerous, when they return he is already dead, eaten by walkers and they stop but only to take his supplies. The group later in the show comes up with three questions that they could ask other survivors to join their group, the three questions are "How many walkers have you killed? How many people have you killed, why?" The group chooses to do this so that innocent people... middle of paper... prison takes over even after agreeing with Rick. While The Walking Dead is violent and may contain some blood, it is profitable. It is beneficial for the viewers because they will learn that betrayal is not right because it can get you killed, it is better to trust those around you to survive. It's also helpful because viewers learn that while religion isn't helpful for killing zombies, it is helpful for making people believe and move forward. The show could also be harmful to its viewers because after watching it many people would believe that it could actually happen in the real world and will go out and prepare for such an event, for example by purchasing guns, chainsaws and other weapons that could kill. a human being. The Walking Dead is beneficial but also harmful to viewers but at the end of the day it's just a show to bring entertainment into people's homes.
