The Walking Dead is a series of comic book that deals with an outbreak of zombies. It shows the issue of government and how in the future it could so easily all fall apart. The government has no way of controlling the plague or the people and therefore leads to complete chaos in the world. The issue with this government now is that there is none, so everyone becomes anarchist. You can easily see this as easily and almost as the ideal government, but when it all comes down to it whose going to protect you from being killed or robbed if there are no laws put in place against it? It turns into every man for himself, which results into complete chaos.
Government allows structure and order in a society, it keeps it calm and running smoothly. Though when we eliminate government what is left to keep us together? What hope do we have that someone is going to save us? The Walking Dead is a perfect example of this because they are a group of people looking for answers, or some sad trace of government left. They feel a lone, that no one will come rescue them in their time of need. Government supplies us these comforts and need and that is why this is usually an issue in literature about the future because if the government falls apart what do we have left? And who is going to keep us together? It shows a dystopian society where everyone must fight for themselves because they have no one to lead them out of danger or harms way. They are easy to blame one another because they have no idea whats going on. When a government falls apart like it did in The walking Dead as he said the frequencies stop broadcasting, all we are left with is hope and questions, and everyone automatically turns to the government for this, but what happens when there is no government left to turn to? No answers to be found, one must live in a dystopian society with chaos and the will to stay together.
